Let your inner superstar shine.

Why We All Love Throwback Songs

M.C Hammer's "Can't Touch This," Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby," Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me," Blink 182's "I Miss You," and maybe even a little Britney Spears "Oops I did It Again" - all some of the many classic throwback songs that we all know and love.

Say you're one of those people (like me) that can't remember lyrics to songs to save their life, timeless songs like these are the exception, you without a doubt at least know the main chorus's of any good classic throwback.


1. Every Time The Songs Come On You Can't Help But Point To Your Friends And Belt Out The Chorus Together.


I don't know what it is about songs from the 90's that hold onto their popularity, but everyone knows them and it's almost impossible to not want to sing along to them.

2. They Bring Out Your Inner Pop Star.

It is easy to get a bit carried away when singing these iconic songs, but just keep in mind, you aren't in the music business for a reason. So just because you sound good in the shower, doesn't mean you've magically transformed into Destiny's Child or a Backstreet Boy.

3. They Make You Feel Some Type A Way.

Whether you're alone in your car, at a club, at a restaurant, or even in the bathroom - you belt out those lyrics with no shame. Embrace it.

4. Singing And Dancing To These Songs With Strangers Can Form Instant Friendships.

Your favorite song just came on at the bar and your friends are no where in sight but you see a stranger near you itching to break out the chorus of the song so you wind up singing it together. Instant bond.

5. You Most Likely Have Some Go-to Awkward Dance Moves To Go Along With The Songs.

Don't even try to pretend that you don't throw your hands up in the air and spin around every time "Don't Stop Believing" comes on, or that you don't get down low when you hear "Gettin' Jiggy Wit it."

6. You Most Likely Have An Inside Joke/Funny Memory With A Friend Over A Throwback Song.

Maybe you drunkenly sang karaoke at Applebee's one night or stood on top of the bar dancing to a song and made a fool of yourself. Your friends will constantly be reminded of all the funny times every time the songs play.

7. You And Your Friends Mistake The Club For a Stage.

Sometimes you just get so in the moment that you forget you might be in a public place and people are judging you hard. After the song is over, it's back to reality for you my friend.

8. You Think That All The People Not Singing Along To The Songs Are Boring And Weird.

They might think you and your friends are the weirdos but its actually them for being boring and for not apprectating the nostalgia of classic music. These are not the people you want to associate yourself with.

9. People Give You Strange Looks But You Don't Care And The Attention Is Oddly Satisfying.

These people are the worst. They suck the fun out of everything. They actually care what people think (lame).

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.
