The Best Songs Of The '90s

Are you in the mood to listen to some songs you haven't heard in the while? Do you want to reminicse on the "good ole days" of the '90s? Some of the best music came from this time. The '90s had a wide variety of popular songs and artists throughout the decade. I've decided to compile my top 20 songs from the '90s that are the perfect throwback to listen to any day of week, not just on Thursday. Happy Listening!

Please note: the list is in no particular order.

1. Iris-Goo Goo Dolls

2. It Wasn't Me-Shaggy

I'd be lying if I said I sang this song as a child without understanding the lyrics one bit. I distinctly remember having it on a cassette, yes that's right a cassette.

3. All Star-Smash Mouth

I still thoroughly enjoy listening to this song. And, I loved that it was featured in Shrek.

4. Closing Time-Semisonic

5. Ice, Ice Baby-Vanilla Ice

6. I'll be There for You-The Rembrandts

Because who doesn't love the theme song to Friends?

7. Mambo No. 5-Lou Bega

Admit it, you kind of, sort of, always wished your name was in this song, if you weren't lucky enough to have your name in it already.

8. ...Baby One More Time-Britney Spears

This was Britney Spears' first single. And, this album was the first one I ever bought on my own. Once again, it was on cassette.

9. Wonderwall-Oasis

10. Wannabe-The Spice Girls

This song will forever and always be one of my favorite songs to jam out to.

11. I Don't Want to Miss a Thing-Aerosmith

12. Barbie Girl-Aqua

I was pretty young when I first heard this song, so you can bet I thought it was about the actual Barbie Doll for a very long time.

13. I Want it That Way-Backstreet Boys

Do any other '90s kids out there remember the episode of Arthur that the Backstreet Boys were on? It was the best episode. And, they sang this song on it. I loved it.

14. Let Me Clear My Throat-DJ Kool

15. Good Riddance (Time of your Life)-Green Day

This song tends to make a come back when you graduate, whether it be from high school or college.

16. Boom, Boom, Boom-Vengaboys

If you can listen to this song without it immediately getting stuck in your head, I applaud you.

17. Say My Name-Destiny's Child

Before Beyonce became a star on her own.

18. Cowboy Take Me Away-Dixie Chicks

For you country music lovers out there.

19. Always be My Baby-Mariah Carey

20. No Diggity-Blackstreet, Dr. Dre, Queen Pen

A great song, repopularized by Pitch Perfect.

Bonus: My Heart Will Go On-Celine Dion

If you're looking for a slower, sad song that reminds you of a classic movie

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
