10 Throwback Jams You Forgot Existed, But Will Instantly Ear-Worm Back Into Your Brain

Interscope Records

Who let 6ix9ine and Lil Baby take over our radios and where did the real music go? Regardless of what you're listening to now, it's undeniably so that music in the 2000s/early 2010s was poppin'. But I think sometimes we focus too much on old party songs and forget the other bops that were around. 3OH!3, Jesse McCartney, The Black Eyed Peas, and so many others gave us a plethora of tunes that we neglect to remember a decade later.

Here are 10 songs from yesteryear that you maybe wouldn't hear on your average throwback playlist.

1. "Impossible" by Shontelle

I can't be the only one who belted this on low-quality YouTube karaoke. I lived for the drama in this song and could've very easily been found humming this passionately in my fifth-grade lunch line.

2. "Carry On" by fun.

My ability to move on from my middle school drama is owed to this song.

3. "Boom Boom Pow" by Black Eyed Peas

Busting out Fergie's solo in this was like a religious experience.

4. "Feel So Close" by Calvin Harris

This song may have been a bit overplayed on the radio, but man oh man, it was a bop.

5. "Gives You Hell" by All-American Rejects

Nothing like the dirty looks your mom would shoot you while this played in the car.

6. "Don't Trust Me" by 3OH!3

SHUSH, GIRL, SHUT YA LIPS. DO THE HELEN KELLER AND TALK WITH YOUR HIPS.

7. "Battlefield" by Jordin Sparks

This song had my 9-year-old self armoring up for a boyfriend I had yet to find.

8. "She Wolf" by Shakira

Not one of Shakira's bigger hits, but definitely worth mentioning.

9. "If U Seek Amy" by Britney Spears

Perhaps I didn't understand the real meaning of this song when it was playing on the radio, but that sure didn't stop me from belting it in the shower.

10. "How Do You Sleep" by Jesse McCartney ft. Ludacris

No comments needed. A CLASSIC.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
