20 Songs From The Early 2000s That Will Give You Serious Nostalgia
Lender Performance

It's weird how music can bring back a certain memory. For example, every time I hear "Buy You A Drank" by T-Pain, it reminds me of fifth grade when I used to sing it on the playground with all my friends (and yes, I am still confused as to why I even knew that song at ten years old). So, I decided to look through some old playlists and find the ones that reminded me the most of my awkward years.

Try not to cry.


1. "Fergalicious" - Fergie

Don't even pretend that you weren't a pro at her rap chorus.

2. "Bye Bye Bye" - Nsync

100% chance that you physically waved goodbye every time you sang this song.

3. "Just Lose It" - Eminem

Annnnd pretty much any other Eminem song.

4. "In Da Club" - 50 Cent

Everyone's birthday song.

5. "Yeah!" - Usher

Take that, rewind it back. (Insert name) got the beat to make your booty go *clap*.

6. "Dirty Little Secret" - The All-American Rejects

Like any elementary schooler singing this actually had any dirty little secrets.

7. "Hot In Herre" - Nelly

Still everyone's favorite song to sing when anyone mentions being hot.

8. "Bad Day" - Daniel Powter

The Alvin & The Chipmunks cover kinda ruined it, but nonetheless still makes you fondly remember your awkward years.

9. "Beautiful Soul" - Jesse McCartney

Every girl's first crush. Whatever happened to him anyways?

10. "Gold Digger" - Kanye West

The clean version, of course. The good ol' days before Kanye became a douche :)

11. "Complicated" - Avril Lavigne

If this isn't nostalgic enough on it's own, just know I sang it at my first grade talent show.

12. "Hollaback Girl" - Gwen Stefani

The only reason that every time you spell bananas you have to sing B...A-N-A-N-A-S

13. "DONTTRUSTME" - 3OH!3

Weirdest song ever, but for some reason it was on everyone's Myspace profile.

14. "No Air" - Jordan Sparks & Chris Brown

The awkward song you danced to with your crush in middle school.

15. "Toxic" - Britney Spears

Classic. Still don't really understand all the words, though.

16. "Get Low" - Ying Yang Twins

This song is over 14 years old and can still get any party hype. Bravo.

17. "Drop It Like It's Hot" - Snoop Dogg

Still creepy, just like Snoop.

18. "Crank That (Souljia Boy)" - Souljia Boy

Knowing this dance was like a rite of passage in your pre-teen years.

19. "I Want It That Way" - Backstreet Boys

Never gets old.

20. "Leave" - JoJo

That song every girl sang in the mirror to their non-existent boyfriend.


The funniest part is that one day, our kids will judge us for singing every word to these when their friends are in the car. To this day, I still laugh at my parents for the songs they love that defined their adolescent years. (Sorry Mom!) Hopefully my kids will appreciate my taste in music. ;-)

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
