50 Songs Played At Your Middle School Dances

Ticket Fly

Middle school was such a great time to be alive. We had Tamagotchis, sleepovers, crocs, nachos for lunch, acne, easy homework, trampolines, Gameboys, flip phones, and middle parts, but best of all, we had middle school dances. Do you remember dancing to Akon with your gauchos, braces, and Air Forces on? Me too, and it was the best. Those songs we danced to have a very special place in my heart. Here is a list of just a few of those songs to help refresh your memory (Disclaimer: I graduated middle school in 2010 to give you an idea of the time period)...

1. Lipgloss - Lil Mama

2. Crank That - Soulja Boy

3. Work It - Missy Elliot

4. My Goodies - Ciara

5. Lean Wit it Rock Wit it - Franchize Boys

6. We Fly High - Jim Jones

7. Party in the USA - Miley Cyrus

8. My Humps - The Black Eyed Peas

9. 1, 2 Step - Ciara featuring Missy Elliot

10. Hot in Here - Nelly

11. Run It - Chris Brown featuring Juelz Santana

46. Promiscuous - Nelly Furtado featuring Timbaland

47. Sexy Back - Justin Timberlake

48. Ice Box - Omarion

49. The Great Escape - Boys Like Girls

50. Hey Ya - Outkast

Of course, there are many other hits from the 2000s that we jammed to when we were "like 12" but, these are some of the best (and no one has time to read over 50 songs anyway). So listen to these in the shower, in the car, while you're walking your dog (or cat if you're a weirdo), in "da club," or wherever you feel like it. We all need a little Akon or Avril in our lives once in awhile.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more
