20 Reasons You Still Love The Backstreet Boys

So I might be a little biased since I listened to my first Backstreet Boys CD at the ripe age of four years old (and memorized all of the words, I might add) but I'm going to make the statement that the Backstreet Boys were one of the greatest artists of all time. They took the world by storm with their boyish good looks, hypnotizing dance moves, and unnaturally colored hair. But recently, they just performed at the 2016 Miss USA pageant which convinced me to break out their old CDs on my drive to work and sing at the top of my lungs and it has me feeling incredibly nostalgic. So here are the reasons why I (and you should) still love the Backstreet Boys after all these years.

1. The coordinated monotone outfits.

2. And don't forget their sweet accessories (hates, sunglasses, chains, you name it).

3. Their perfectly coiffed hairstyles.

4. The heart-melting (and occasionally heart-wrenching) harmonies.

5. The fact that they all shared the spotlight and made sure everyone had a solo.

6. Their songs make everyone want to join in and dance.

7. Their lyrics that don't make sense but speak to you anyways.

8. The fact that they have enough well known, beautiful songs to have their own Greatest Hits album (which is arguably the only album you'll ever need).

9. Their undeniable swag.

10. They helped us through every monumental moment in the 90's (like Y2K).

11. Their rock hard abs (*swoon*).

12. The fact that they released a Christmas album.

13. They're equally as much goofballs as they are heartthrobs.

14. The fact that they still come together and perform to satisfy their beloved fans (we made them "Larger Than Life" after all, right?).

15. The fact that their last album was released way more recently than you would guess.

16. Their breakup songs seem to speak directly to you.

17. The fact that you could never quite understand why any woman would break their heart.

18. Their smoldering looks off into the distance.

19. Their is a song for every emotion you could possibly ever feel.

20. The fact that their is always hope that they might reunite and go on tour (or release another album, is we're lucky).

And despite her sometimes harsh words, April truly cares about the people she's closest to. These are all reasons she is the epitome of a college student. April complains whenever she has to do any kind of work, but ends up doing the work anyway. April Ludgate is the ultimate college student spirit animal.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
