Love them or hate them, these are the most overrated and overplayed songs of the last twenty years.

We loved these songs when the first came out, well at least some of them. However, due to the simplicity of an excessive amount of repetition in an absolutely dismal time frame we have grown to hate these songs, so much so that we are ready to play anything else.

1. Good Riddance

This is a song we all remember, especially while we were in middle school and high school. This is the epitome of a sad song, used to forget whatever was on our minds at the time. Maybe the biggest problem is that is was a Green Day song, but I digress, anyway what over dramatic parting of ways would be complete without some wannabe rocker, his guitar and this song.

2. Trap Queen

If I had a dollar for every time I heard this drag and drop song from some suburban kid's dorm room, I might be able to pay off my student loans. It's not really a spectacle of a song, rather Fetty Wap was able to put something together that people just loved singing, even after hearing it fifty times in a row.

3. The First 30 Seconds of "Black Parade"

Let's be honest, you never actually listen to the whole My Chemical Romance song. This father asks his kid to be the savior of the broken and he couldn't even save the song.

4. "Wonderwall"

This is best solved with a math equation, x*y=0. Where x is the number of times you've played this song to a girl, and y is the number of girls who talked to you again. Let's be honest, y=0.

The song itself is awesome, but only when Oasis plays it.

5. "Uptown Funk"

I'll give you 20 bucks if you can tell me the artist. Seriously. For all of those who guessed Bruno Mars, sorry. Mark Ronson was shoved under the radar similar to, at this point, where we all wish this song could be.

6. "Get Lucky" - Daft Punk

It's the first song to be written and recorded in less time than it takes to listen to the song. It also has a very unique composition of "ctrl v, ctrl v, ctrl v, synth break, ctrl v". Nothing screams originality like hearing the same thing over again. Nothing screams originality like hearing the same thing over again. Synth break. Nothing screams originality like hearing the same thing over again.

7. "1985" - Bowling for Soup

Bowling for Soup's career out look is about the same as your out look on getting with Stacey's mom, slim to none.

8. "Thrift Shop"

The song that was playing when you parents took you shopping at Abercrombie. The lyrics are comprised of all the things you won't find in a thrift store.

9. "Hey There Delilah"

What's the only thing better than a four chord song? A two chord song. It's the song that kid used to justify his obsession with your sister. Seriously, we see you, go home before we call the police.

10. Any Coldplay or Nickleback Song

Literally all of their songs work. They would have been better being like that kid from your high school who wanted to be a rapper, and swears he could have made it if he wanted to... as he hands you your order of fries.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
