The Ultimate Throwback Playlist
son.gg

Everyone loves a good throwback song. They remind you of an exact moment or memory, take you back to when you were a certain age, and make you feel young again. We often don't know how much we love a song until we hear it again for the first time in years. When the words come back to you, even though you last listened to the song when you were 8 years old, that is the power and love of music!

If you're a kid who grew up in the 2000s, this is the throwback playlist for you!


1. The Jonas Brothers - "Year 3000"

Any Jo-bro song is a 2000s bop, but this song still gets the entire dance floor going at any party I go to. The Jonas Brothers were the epitome of 2000s Disney Channel pop music, and you're lying if you didn't have at least one poster of them on your wall!


2. Jesse McCartney - "Beautiful Soul"

When we were in elementary school, my best friend and I would call each other over the landline and then sing this song for hours. I don't know what happened to Jesse, but we will always have this beautiful memory of a song.


3. Ke$ha - "TiK ToK"

Ke$ha's legendary banger was the song that everyone waited to hear at their middle school dance, and the song that everyone had a choreographed dance for. Her music was about drinking and breaking the rules, which made us feel cool for dancing and singing along to it.


4. Miley Cyrus - "Party In The U.S.A."

We were scared when Hannah Montana began to disappear and turn into Miley Cyrus. But then we were given this gift. It was the anthem to our summer in 2009, and it remains a pop classic.


5. Aly and AJ - "Potential Breakup Song"

These Disney channel sisters and overall power duo made us scream at the top of our lungs about boyfriends we didn't even have yet! This song made us air guitar an abnormal amount, and flip our hair in front of the TV every time the music video came on.


6. Taylor Swift - "You Belong With Me"

Where would this list be without Taylor Swift? This song put Taylor on the map and made us look at ourselves differently. Her innocent, heartbreaking music quickly became the soundtrack to our lives!


7. Rihanna ft. Jay-Z - "Umbrella"

Rihanna was the queen of the 2000s. "Pos De Replay," "Disturbia," "Take A Bow," SOS" You name it, and we knew every word. Rihanna summoned a new side of sass in our 10-year-old selves, and I'm very thankful for that. Bow Down Rihanna Navy.


8. The Plain White T's - "Hey There Delilah"

Because this playlist wouldn't be complete without at least one slow, love song. This song was the background to every good cry sesh'.


9. Justin Bieber - "One Less Lonely Girl"

When Justin Bieber stepped onto the scene, our hearts exploded. He was everywhere, and this is only one of the many hits he put out in the 2000s. He was the Justin Timberlake of our generation, and we were more than ready. I really thought Justin was talking directly to me when I listened to this song, okay?


10. Katy Perry - "Hot N Cold"

This song is here solely because it is a total banger. This was Katy Perry's heyday and we didn't know it yet, but we had a legend among us.


11. Avril Lavigne - "Girlfriend"

Avril was our punk princess, and we were lucky to have been blessed with this bad girl anthem. It brought out all of our elementary school anger when we needed to freak out about homework, crushes or really anything.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
