20 Songs From Middle School You Forgot Existed

Think back to your awkward middle-school days. The first kiss, Razr phones, braces, Hollister and Abercrombie t-shirts... you get the picture. I know I definitely didn't peak in middle school, but the music scene definitely did. Thinking back on music between the years of 2006 - 2009, I honestly can't think of a song that I don't still know most of the words to. These songs are the first songs we truly chose to listen to on our own and will be telling our grandchildren about, calling them "the oldies" and reminiscing about our childhood. These songs were the best for so many reasons, but I can guarantee most of you completely forgot about them, until now.

1. "Replay" by Iyaz

Shawty's like a melody in my head

2. "In My Head" by Jason Derulo

Before he started Talking Dirty (ha)

3. "Promiscuous" by Nelly Furtado

Nelly Furtado is still every boy's dream girl

4. "Grillz" by Nelly


*Insert gum wrapper grillz*

5. "Unfaithful" by Rihanna


The best song before her interesting turn....

6. "Ms. New Booty" by Bubba Sparxxx

Booty Booty Booty Booty

7. "Smack That" by Akon


Best song for awkward middle school dances

8. "Show Stopper" by Danity Kane

9. "No Air" by Jordin Sparks

How are you supposed to breath with no air, Jordin?

10. "Sexy Can I" by Ray J


At least he asked...

11. "Clumsy" by Fergie


You got me trippin, stumblin, flippin, fumblin


12. "Dirty Little Secret" by All American Rejects


Flashback to Jon Tucker Must Die

13. "Buy U A Drank" by T-Pain


I mean.... if you insist.

14. "Tie Me Down" by New Boyz


For all you single people out there


15. "Teenagers" by My Chemical Romance


Reminiscing about my years as a punk-rock enthusiast...

16. "The Great Escape" by Boys Like Girls

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
