13 Songs You Need On Your Throwback Jams Playlist
The Huffington Post

For some reason, we all crave that feeling of nostalgia. Just seeing or hearing something that will take you back to childhood. Maybe there is some deep psychological explanation to it, but nostalgia is such a great feeling. Plus, let's face it: Early 2000's music was way better than what is on the radio right now. I scoured through my entire music library, pulled out all of my old Now CDs (I cannot believe I have Now 8!) and was able to narrow down all of that music to 13 of my favorites. Tears were shed, memories were reminisced, but here are 13 songs from the early 2000's that will take you back to the good ole days.

1. Avril Lavigne - "Complicated"

Back when we were all like 6 years old, we all dreamed about being as punk and cool as Avril.

2. Breaking Benjamin - "Diary of Jane"


3. Michelle Branch - "Everywhere"


4. Yellowcard - "Ocean Avenue"


We all used to hope and pray that our teenage years would be like this.

5. OutKast - "Hey Ya!"


"Alright alright alright alright alright alright alright..."

6. Beyonce ft. Jay-Z - "Crazy in Love"


The song that brought them together.

7. JoJo - Leave (Get Out)


8. Ciara - "One, Two Step"


9. Britney Spears - "Toxic"


10. Ryan Cabrera - "On the Way Down"


By the way, he is still making music! I saw him live back in 2015.

11. Destiny's Child - "Say My Name"


12. Gwen Stefani - "Hollaback Girl"


Admit it, you still sing this in your head when you spell "bananas."

13. Vanessa Carlton - "A Thousand Miles"


This one is not necessarily a throwback because of White Chicks and memes, but it still throws me back.

***Bonus Track***

Jonas Brothers - "When You Look Me in The Eyes"


Just because this song hits all of my 10 year old feels, and we all used to pretend that one of the brothers was serenading us with this song.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
