Who could ever forget the music that went along with possibly the most cringe-worthy phases of our lives. Whether you danced along to these songs in a school gym packed with sweaty preteens fearing their first slow dances, or listened to them on your MP3 player/iPod Nano-- downloaded straight from limewire, of course-- these early 2000’s hits won’t fail to bring you back to the golden age of pre-pubescent middle school.

  50. “Baby” - Justin Bieber

Now, we may not have known the actual meanings of half these songs at the time, and we might even be horrified at the thought of our twelve and thirteen year-old selves dancing and singing along to them back then-- but these songs will never fail to remind us to party like it’s 2007.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part.

However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
