10 Timeless Songs From The Past 10 Years

If you jammed along to music on the radio during any time from 2005 to 2015, you probably couldn't get enough of these songs. We sang and hummed along with them as they played on Top 40 stations again and again. As you skim this list, you may be hit with nostalgia or a feeling of annoyance because you played the song on your CD player a little too often.

1. Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani

Two times we've been 'round that track and this song is still the greatest.

2.Bad Day by Daniel Powder

We'd probably have a bad day if we heard this song again.

3. Umbrella by Rihanna

I don't know about you, but I'd be one happy clam if this song randomly played at one point during my day.

4. Low by Flo-Rida Featuring T-Pain

Throw on those boots with the fur and get down with this timeless tune.

5. Boom Boom Pow by The Black Eyed Peas

Honestly, any Black Eyed Peas song will give me a nice trip down nostalgia lane.

6. Tik Tok by Ke$ha

This song will forever be my anthem. No doubts about that.

7. Rolling in the Deep

If you weren't already in love with Adele's voice before hearing this song, you definitely were after hearing it.

8. Somebody that I Used to Know by Gotye Featuring Kimbra

I can't resist singing the chorus at the top of my lungs whenever this song shows up on my playlist.

9. Thrift Shop

The Kidz Bop version says "Walk up into to the club like 'What up? I gotta hit song!"' Nice.

10. Fancy by Iggy Azalea Featuring Charli XCX

Shout out to my fellow humans who still have the rap to this memorized.

Ten years ago we heard the lyrics of Hollaback Girl playing over and over in our minds. Within the ten years that passed, we hummed a number of new tunes, each of them evoking different emotions and memories, some good, and some not so good. In ten more years, we'll be looking back on these songs with the same sentiments. That, my friends, is the power of music.

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.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

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.
