12 Emo Songs You Definitely Loved In 2006

It's 2016 guys. Isn't that just crazy? With the news that Cute Is What We Aim For have once again revived from "the dead," and announced a TEN year anniversary tour for Same Old Blood Rush With A New Touch (2006), I felt it was time to take a trip down memory lane. All of those summer anthems you remember singing along to at the top of your lungs, remember them? Many of the famous emo and alternative music anthems are getting old. Trust me, 2006 was a year that made its mark on emo music and the scene. I feel so old looking at this classic list of songs. Prepare your bodies. Things are about to get emotional. Taking you back to the Myspace days.

1. MakeDamnSure- Taking Back Sunday

Why not start off with an emo classic that still rings true today? Taking Back Sunday wowed us and won our hearts with Louder Now. I know you all still drop what you're doing to chant "I just want to break you down so badly."

2. The Fever- The Academy Is...

What can I say? William Beckett had us all swooning when he sang practically anything.

3. Jasey Rae- All Time Low

All Time Low are still going strong today. The have released album after album. Put Up Or Shut Up came out in 2006. Isn't that a hard pill to swallow? "Don't make this easy, I want you to mean it. Jaseyyyyyy" is still one of their most classic lyrics to date. Everyone in the crowd will sing "Jasey Rae" as one beautiful group.

4. The Great Escape- Boys Like Girls

This is the one that cuts the deepest for me. Boys Like Girls was MY band when I started going to shows in this scene. They were my gateway band. How is it that their first single is TEN YEARS OLD? I'm going to go cry now.

5. The Curse Of Curves- Cute Is What We Aim For

Shaant has one of the most unique lyrical styles of the emo scene. Curse of Curves is iconic. "I've got the gift of one liners and you've got the curse of curves" is still an anthem.

6. Dark Blue- Jack's Mannequin

Okay, okay, okay. Everything In Transit technically came out in 2005. But 'Dark Blue" is still iconic and we all still listened to it religiously in 2006. Have you ever felt alone in a crowded room?

7. Naive- The Kooks

This may be the oddball song on this list. The Kooks are a British indie like band. But this song came out in 2006 and is probably their most popular.

8. Three Cheers For Five Years- Mayday Parade

"I thought I could live in your arms and spend every moment I had with you." Before Mayday released their iconic first full length, this was THE song all of us Mayday Parade fans held on too. Emo pop music at its finest.

9. Stolen- Dashboard Confessional

Chris Carrabba is a whiny emo legend. This is a fact we cannot deny.

10. Here (In Your Arms)- Hellogoodbye

The band's first single and Drive Thru Records alums. Classic. Emo classic.

11. Bring It (Snakes On a Plane)- Cobra Starship

Gabe Saporta, William Beckett AND Travie McCoy all in one song together? The perfect emo collaboration. No wonder we all fell over.

12. Jesus Christ- Brand New

I feel that it is only appropriate to end this list with one of the most iconic and still talked about songs from the 2006 emo era. The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me is to this day one of the best albums that came out of 2006. This song is truly a classic of the scene.

Before you start giving me shit for stirring up all the feels or claiming a couple of these songs weren't truly emo, just sit back and remember the good ole days. For this whole scene of music, 2006 was apart of the golden age....the glory days. Some of these bands don't exist anymore and some still bask in their former glory. The music remains no matter what. Now run off and jam these songs at your cars' max volume as you drive around listening to all the feels.

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.
