12 Songs That Will Remind You Of Middle School Dances

Middle school dances: where cramming an entire school's student body into a hot gym and blasting music with a single strobe light was the highlight of your month. These probably provided you with some of the best and worst memories you have of your pubescent days...so, let's bring it back.

1. "Low"- Flo Rida & T-Pain

You know the night was going to be awesome when the DJ started out with this jam and you were wearing your Applebottom jeans and boots with the fur.

2. "Glamorous"- Fergie

Grab your girlfriends, Fergie's on and you're feeling G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S!

3. "Smack That"- Akon

Great jam, but looking back, was it all that appropriate to play for a group of 11 to 14-year-olds?

4. "Paralyzer"- Finger Eleven

Every middle school boy joined the mosh pit to this song while all the girls just watched in horror.

5. "Teardrops on My Guitar"- Taylor Swift

This is about the time you could find at least one girl crying in the bathroom.

6. "Soulja Boy Tell 'Em"- Soulja Boy

If you didn't know this dance, you were outcasted, and possibly still are.

7. "In the Ayer"- Flo Rida (ft. Will. I. Am)

Everyone could put aside their drama for a few minutes to join together and jump around to this song.

8. "Crush"- David Archuletta

The song that wasn't slow enough to slow dance to, but also wasn't fast enough to get down to...so everyone left to get food.

9. "Party in the USA"- Miley Cyrus

The song that has made everyone sprint backto the gym with a soda in one hand and a slice of pizza in the other.

10. "Baby"- Justin Bieber

Even if you couldn't admit it then, this was probably your favorite song.

11. "Single Ladies"- Beyonce

The song that could singlehandedly make every boy feel uncomfortable while they watched the girls do the signature dance.

12. "Apologize"- One Republic

Ahhh...every dance ended with a slow song that made every girl hope that her crush would ask her for the final last dance (which would either make or break her night.)

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
