10 Songs From 2000s Middle School Dances That Aged Better Than We Did

Vimeo

1. We Belong Together - Mariah Carey

You can't deny it, every time this song came on you we're thinking about your "first love " while singing with your friends.

2. Ride Wit Me - Nelly

Granted we weren't really sure what Nelly meant by smoking in the backseat, but we all scream sung "Ay must be the money"

3. 1,2 Step - Ciara

You immediately recognized the song once the beat started and dragged your BFF to the dance floor to dance

4. Knock You Down - Keri Hilson

You and your BFF's would definitely try to sing the main line and the lines following behind it all at the same time while trying to coordinate your dance moves.

5. Yeah! - Usher

This is the one song that gets everybody going. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE would be on the dance floor singing and dancing to this song.

6. Buy You A Drank - T-Pain

Even though we were all too young to drink and buy alcohol, there was something about T-Pain's voice that just got all of us moving on the dance floor

7. Gold Digger - Kayne West

Half of us only knew the beginning and the main course of the song, but there was that one kid who knew the rap and we all thought he was cool

8. Kiss Me Thru The Phone - Soulja Boy

We all had the number memorized from this song and we all tried to call it to see if Soulja Boy would actually answer the phone

9. Beautiful - Akon

Many of us thought that this song was over played, but the rest of us jammed out to it with no problem

10. Halo - Beyoncé

A dance isn't complete until one of Beyoncé's songs is played. Everyone slow danced to this song all while trying to hit all of her high notes.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
