"It Wasn't Me"

2000's Song Throwbacks

The 2000's were a music era that many cannot forget, but then again, why would you even want to try? Here are some songs that most likely were your "most-listened to" during the 2000's. And do not even try to pretend you do not belt out all the lyrics flawlessly every time these come back on. Who doesn't love a good throwback?

1. "Say My Name" – Destiny's Child

"Say my name, say my name, when no one is around you, say baby I love you," should bring back some very sassy memories. If you did not pretend to be Destiny's Child dissing your good-for-nothing man, you did not do your childhood correctly.

2. "The Middle" – Jimmy Eat World

This song perfectly described your angsty adolescent feelings, and you can not even begin to deny it. Chances are you may have been singing this song so intensely that you ripped the gel off of your hairbrush microphone.

3. "Beverly Hills" – Weezer

"Beverly Hills" is the song that every tourist still to this very day quotes when they actually travel to Beverly Hills. But in the 2000's, not only did this song make you want to be part of 90210, but it also made you realize you cannot locate Beverly Hills on a map.


4. "Stacy's Mom" – Fountains of Wayne

If you spent hours wondering what made Stacy's Mom so great, you are probably part of the majority. We all sympathized with Stacy and then began to wonder if our middle-school boyfriends secretly only came over to see our mom.

5. "Irreplaceable" – Beyonce

"You must not know 'bout me" was the ultimate line to throw shade back in the 2000's, and if you didn't use it, you clearly missed out. You knew exactly what to do if you ever caught your man cheating, but at this point, your entire romantic life involved passing notes that said, "Check yes if you like me."

6. "Hollaback Girl" – Gwen Stefani

If you didn't make a music video to this with your best friend, chances are your parents put a content restriction on your iTunes account. "B-A-N-A-N-A-S"

7. "1985" – Bowling for Soup

This was the song everyone knew all the words to but completely missed every single reference, because it was about a time that happened a decade before I was even born. "When did Motley Crue become classic rock?" I wouldn't know; I wasn't even alive.

8. "In Da Club" – 50 Cent

"We gonna party like it's your birthday, sip Bacardi like it's your birthday." Shoutout to everyone who had no idea what Bacardi was, even though you went all out to this song at every single seventh-grade dance.

9. "Bye Bye Bye" – N Sync

Not only did you know the dance to this song, but you also imagined doing that dance with your favorite member of N Sync--Justin (if it wasn't Justin you were just wrong; okay, maybe Joey, but anyone else and you are just unjustified.)

10. "Milkshake" – Kelis

Where is the yard? And was the milkshake chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry? Those are my only questions.

11. "Hips Don't Lie" – Shakira

This song was the one that your mom wasn't sure she wanted you to listen to because it was just "a little too sexy," but you would secretly lock your door and try to learn how to move your hips like Shakira does.

12. "Kiss Me Thru The Phone" – Soulja Boy

"678-999-8212"--stop lying and acting like you didn't call that number and get the Soulja Boy Hotline. Also, throwback to when they created an iPhone app based off this song.

13. "Hey Ya!" – OutKast

"Heyyyyy yaaaaaaaa"

14. "Since U Been Gone" – Kelly Clarkson

This song is what developed your love for the "American Idol" winner. This was another angsty song that you couldn't help but belt out when it came on the radio (aux cords were not a thing back then – think about it).

15. "Forever" – Chris Brown

When this song came on at the middle-school dance, you stood there awkwardly in your hot-pink zebra-print dress waiting for your crush to come uncomfortably slow dance with you--oh, just me?

16. "Who Let the Dog's Out" – Baha Men

This song was on at every single basketball, football, soccer, and baseball game you ever attended. How someone made so much money on a song about opening up a dog crate, I will never know.

17. "Kryptonite" – 3 Doors Down

Another song that you knew all the words to but had no idea of the meaning behind. "If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?"

18. "Ignition (Remix)" – R. Kelly

"Must be a football coach the way you got me playing the field." Because absolutely none of us had any idea this song was inappropriate at the time. Innocence is bliss, apparently.

19. "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" – Eiffel 65

While this song may be incredibly annoying, you cannot help but sing along even when it is played today. Also, if this does not make you think about "Big Fat Liar," you were clearly not raised on the right Disney Channel movies.

20. "It Wasn’t Me" – Shaggy

If you had any idea what the Jamaican man was saying, then you deserve a medal.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

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.

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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
