21 Guilty Pleasure Throwbacks You May Need A Refresher On

While today's radio is great, they play the same 10 songs that just came out as top hits and quickly push last month's and maybe even the previous years' number ones to the back of the closet with the skeletons. I'm here to rescue those songs you all know and love, you may just need a refresher that they exist!

1. Wannabe - Spice Girls

I may or may not be guilty of this being my go-to karaoke song of choice

2. Ice Ice Baby - Vanilla Ice

A classic everyone knows

3. Come on Eileen - Dexys Midnight Runners

Don't lie, this is a feel good that everyone tends to sing along together!

4. Wobble - V.I.C

The ultimate club line dance song

5. I want it that way - Backstreet Boys

Really anything from the backstreet boys honestly

6. Low - T-Pain

Apple bottom jeans anyone?

7. Something just like this - Chainsmokers

Not as much as a throwback, but still a winner that should have never left the radio

8. Jessie's Girl - Rick Springfield

Many renditions have been attempted, but this will forever be the best Jessie's girl

9. Single Ladies - Beyonce

Now put ya hands up!

10. Turn Down For What - Lil Jon

Nothing

11. Bulletproof - La Roux

12. Marvin Gaye - Charlie Puth

13. In Da Club - 50 Cent

Go shorty, it's your birthday...

14. Hot n Cold - Katy Perry

15. SexyBack - Justin Timberlake

16. What A Girl Wants - Christina Augilera

I can vividly remember listening to this one on my walkman

17. Say My Name - Destiny's Child

"Livia"

18. Amazed - Lonestar

19. Unwell - Matchbox Twenty

20. Good Riddance (Time of your Life) - Green Day

This one's always a slight tear jerker

21. All American Girl - Carrie Underwood

My personal favorite

So now that you are singing along in your head, and maybe even out loud — hopefully, you're a good singer if that's the case, go give these oldies but goodies some love and create a new playlist.

25 Thoughts Everyone Has When Registering For Classes

May the odds be ever in your favor.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

University of Kentucky

pointsincase.com

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

17 Times "Friends" Accurately Described Life

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

"I don't want to do things. I want to do not things."

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

Freedom vs. Curfew

No one cares if you wear pajamas to class

You don't live with mommy anymore, say hello to cereal and Ramen Noodles

Curfew? Never heard of her.

Everything said in class is most likely posted online

Sundays are now for hangovers and homework

The realization that you need your pet now more than ever

High school parties are nothing compared to college

Exams are worth way more than participation points

The library is now your new best friend

You don't live with your mom anymore... call her
