10 Of The Best Girl Power Songs You Listened To In The 2000s
The Hunt

The 2000s were the Golden Age of Girl Power. Girl bands and pop divas alike began singing about the awesomeness of being a girl. So if you're ready to feel like you can conquer the world (or just pass that bio exam), then throw it back with ten of the 2000s' best girl power jams:

1. Cinderella- The Cheetah Girls.

What better way to feel empowered than to realize your "knight in shining armor" has been you all along? The Cheetah Girls know better than anyone the power of female confidence and girls' ability to be happy in their own right. Let's be real, we'd rather rescue ourselves.

2. La La Land- Demi Lovato.

Demi's had her fair share of struggles, but she's slaying the scene as she prepares to release her new album, "Confident." But even before she underwent major changes to her lifestyle, she was singing about the freedom all girls should seek from the expectations of society, especially for herself in L.A., otherwise known as the "La La Land Machine."

3. Stronger- Britney Spears.

Who can deny the epic woman-power of Britney Spears? This song preaches about the liberating feeling of being alone for the first time in a while and the changes you undergo when you decide that you're enough just the way you are.

4. Just the Way I Am- Skye Sweetnam.

Few will remember the bizarre Disney Channel show, The Buzz on Maggie about a fly who just wants to become a rock star, but the theme song is one you can never forget. Skye Sweetnam sings about accepting your imperfections and not caring about what other people think.


5. One Girl Revolution- Superchick.

You might recognize this song from the movies Legally Blonde and Cadet Kelly, which both feature stories of women kicking major butt in fields that are typically dominated by men. Just like Elle and Kelly, you can be the start to your own revolution.

6. Nobody's Perfect- Hannah Montana.

It's cheesy, it's catchy, and it has the perfect message: "everybody makes mistakes, everybody has those days," so don't sweat the small stuff and remember that you're amazing--mistakes included.

7. Miss Independent- Kelly Clarkson.

It might seem that this song is just saying that giving up on your independence is the only way to fall in love. But if you really listen to the lyrics, it tells the story of a girl who has amazing self-respect and only lets somebody into her life if he's going to make her happy and respect her freedom.

8. Nothing's Wrong With Me- Zetta Bytes (Pixel Perfect)

Okay, so the girl who sings this song in the DCOM, Pixel Perfect is a hologram, but the song is still a great girl power anthem. It says that there's nothing wrong with being different and proud of it.

9. Why Not- Hilary Duff

If you think that Hilary Duff was a girl power icon ten years ago, then just check her out now! She's acting and singing again with a whole new attitude of independence. "Why Not" is a classic 2000s jam and begs the question, why should you wait to follow your dreams?

10. Girl Power- The Cheetah Girls

The Cheetah Girls have just too many empowering songs to choose from, and "Girl Power" is one of the best. The lyrics say it all: "Throw your hands up if you know that you're a star / You better stand up if you know just who you are / Never give up never come too far / Girl Power Girl Power!"

The next time you're feeling nervous about that math test, depressed about that ex or worried that you just aren't good enough, listen to the songs generously provided by some of the 2000s best girl power icons. They'll definitely put you in the mood to start your "One Girl Revolution."

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
