17 Classic Songs For Drunk White People
Brit Smith / Interscope

After spending this past weekend at my boyfriend's formal in the Poconos, I have discovered one thing that seems consistent across every wedding, frat party, sweet 16, and other events that may involve drinking, white people, and a DJ. We always get extremely excited over the same songs, no matter how overplayed they may be. I am not saying this list is specific to white people, it is just most consistent across most of my observations. We can all attest to requesting or loudly shouting the words to at least one of these songs, if not many of them. To all future DJs and white people, this one's for you. Check out the complete Spotify playlist at the end!

17. "I Want You Back" - The Jackson 5

16. "Jack and Diane" - John Mellencamp

15. "We Didn't Start the Fire" - Billy Joel

14. "Mr. Brightside" - The Killers


13. "Summer of '69" - Bryan Adams

12. "Bust a Move" - Young MC

11. "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" - Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell

10. "It's Tricky" - Run-DMC

9. "Waterfalls" - TLC

8. Born in the U.S.A- Bruce Springsteen

5. "Stacy's Mom" - Fountains of Wayne

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
