10 Favorite Throwback Songs For College Students

If you are a college student you most likely go out. One thing every college student has in common is looking forward to the weekend, and whether you're a bar person or club type you most definitely know that feeling when an absolute jam comes on and everyone around you goes insane. I can almost guarantee you that every college kid born in the 90s will attest to the fact that a throwback is always the way to go. Yes we love our Fetty Wap, but hit us with that "Sweet Caroline" and everyone is guaranteed to go wild. Being 90s babies we hold our summer hits of the 90s and 2000s close to heart and the DJ at every one of our favorite bars and clubs knows it.

1. "Sweet Caroline"-Neil Diamond

An absolute classic, you probably first heard it in the car with your parents or something when you were younger. I'm pretty sure every night I've gone out in college thus far a DJ has played it and I've never seen a bunch of college kids go harder at a bar then ever before. "Sweet Caroline" just really gets us pumped up I guess, especially when the DJ stops the music so all you hear is everyone yelling "SO GOOD SO GOOD."

2. "Ignition"-R.Kelly

This was always the go to jam in high school and I'm so happy it has carried over into college. This song basically does all the talking, I don't even think I can do it justice it is just too good. When this comes on at the club you best believe everyone will be singing every word.

3. "It wasn't Me"-Shaggy

Literally I have no comment. This song is the ultimate throwback jam of our time. #1 in my eyes.

4. "Hot In Here"-Nelly

Pretty sure the first time I heard this song was when I was in the 4th grade so this song has definitely come a long way. Nelly was the Fetty Wap of those days. If you are out anywhere and it's hot and packed, the DJ just knows this song will do the trick.

5. "Move Along"-All American Rejects

This song definitely changes things up at the bar and everyone always loves it.

6. "Stacy's Mom"-Fountains of Wayne

Growing up with a hot mom this song has made an impact on my life especially. College kids live for this, whenever it comes on you most likely turn to your friends and you channel your middle school self.

7. "Hollaback Girl"-Gwen Stefani

Every white girl friend group goes into this song, and you can't even deny it. Moment of silence for Gwen Stefani teaching us all how to spell bananas.

8. "Get Low"-Lil John

Everyone will most likely be pointing to the window and to the wall of the establishment you are in, guaranteed.

9. "Gold Digger"-Kanye West

Kanye can do no wrong. If you don't know every word to this song you can't even call yourself a millennial.

10. "Party in the USA"-Miley Cyrus

This one isn't even old, it's just too good to not be played. Even the guys love this one. I think people love it so much just because it's everyone's favorite Miley Cyrus era.

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.
