15 Songs Every '90s Baby Girl Remembers
Rolling Stone

If you were born or grew up during the early/mid 1990s, you know how great it was. You'd come home from school, feed your Neopet, grab a bottle of Surge (which is now extinct from grocery stores) and turn on MTV to jam out to all your favorite songs. Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Spice Girls and NSYNC, just to name a few, dominated our childhood. These days, 98 percent of the music played on mainstream radio sucks. These 2000 babies don't know a thing about good music or how cool it was to grow up in the '90s.

Let's take a trip down memory lane, shall we, and reflect on all the awesome songs that shaped our childhood.

1. "He Loves U Not" by Dream

If this song didn't make you want to throw on a crop top and grab your karaoke machine, you're lying. Who else pretended to sing this to the girl who kept flirting with your crush?

2. "Hey Juliet" by LMNT

We all secretly wished a group of cute guys would sing this to us whenever our mom dragged us to the laundry mat.

3. "Candy" by Mandy Moore

Mandy Moore before she was Mandy Moore.

4. "I Want It That Way" by Backstreet Boys

Let's be real here, we all wanted to marry Nick Carter. And if this song didn't make your little adolescent heart hurt, you obviously missed something. Who else remembers when Burger King used to put Backstreet Boy CDs in their kids meals? No? Just me?

5. "Bye Bye Bye" by NSYNC

Even though Justin Timberlake's hair looked like an uncooked pack of Ramen noodles, we still loved him.

6. "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence

This song turned us all into gothic and emo kids at some point. Not to mention that was the best music video ever?

7. "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" by Eiffel 65

Even though the music video was the most terrifying thing in existence (seriously, what were those things?), this song was still a banger.

8. "In the End" by Linkin Park

If this song didn't stir up the teenage angst brewing inside you, were you really living? This song was so deep.

9. "Summer Girls" by Lyte Funkie Ones (LFO)

Even though we were too young to realize how the lyrics to this song made absolutely no sense, we still loved it and wondered what Abercrombie and Fitch was. (We'd eventually find out in 2006/2007 when we all started wearing it.)

10. "Come Clean" by Hilary Duff

Hilary Duff was the queen of the Disney Channel and basically ruled our childhood. Between "Lizzie McGuire," "The Lizzie McGuire Movie" and her flawless album, we almost didn't make it out alive. All hail Hilary.

11. "Leave (Get Out)" by JoJo

We all knew every word to this song and we weren't ashamed of it, and there's also a 95 percent chance we all wanted to raid JoJo's closet.

12. "Genie in a Bottle" by Christina Aguilera

How did we not realize how sexually explicit this song was? And how did our parents allow us to listen to it?

13. "Oops!... I Did it Again" by Britney Spears

This music video slayed all of our lives. And I also may or may not have sung this at my elementary school's talent show.

14. "Hollaback Girl" by Gwen Stefani

Did anybody else learn their first curse word from this song?

15. "Spice Up Your Life" by Spice Girls

Not only did we have this gem to jam out to, but we also had the movie "Spice World" to watch and Spice Girl dolls to play with. I personally had a Sporty Spice doll and she was amazing.


While all of us have reached adulthood, let's never forget the awesome era that raised us and the music that accompanied it. Truth be told, I still listen to these songs today and have all of them on my iTunes. Even though we '90s babies are no longer babies, these songs will never fail to bring us back to the good 'ol days.

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.
