Middle school dances are often the prime example of an awkward event among pre-teens, but sometimes even high school dances suffer the same fate.

Depending on the kind of high school it is, the music can vary from one heavy other either techno or hip-hop, maybe with some line dances in between. High School dances require more effort than middle school ones, but even when people dress well during Prom Season, there will always be those instances of guys ripping their suit pants after a dance-off. There is a certain set of songs that are very familiar with being the kind of songs you will only hear in these dances, that it can bring back memories for a lot of young adults now. Looking back at the high school dances can be nostalgic as you hear a familiar tune as you listen to a Throwback Thursday playlist. It can bring back the time you killed it on the dance floor or possibly become the highlight of Prom Night. These tracks are what you will always hear at high school dances.

1.Chris Brown- "Yeah 3X"


2.Enrique Iglesias- "I Like It "


3. Sean Kingston Ft. Justin Bieber- "Eeenie Meenie"


4.Usher- "DJ Got Us Falling In Love"

5.Taoi Cruz- "Dynamite"


6.Far East Movement- "Like A G6"


7.Dev- "Bass Down Low"


8.Cobra Starship- "You Make Me Feel...."


9.Metro Station "Shake It"


10.The Wanted- "Glad You Came"


11.Skrillex- "Bangarang"

31.Caballo Dorado- "Payaso De Rodeo"


32.Rednex- "Cotton Eye Joe"


33.PSY- "Gangnam Style"


34.Darude- "Sandstorm"


Some of these songs are still considered a banger now, while other tracks make you want to cringe about how popular they were. High school dances always provided a different variety of music genres to help please everybody. It's no surprised that not everybody is pleased with the dance playlist, which makes room for those attending the dance who think they're too cool to bust a move. Overall it is safe to say that just like middle school dances, high school dances are a hit or miss depending on the community among students. Sometimes people get sick of the music, while it can grow on your for the rest of your adulthood.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
