If you know me, you're aware of the sheer love I have for r&b music. As a 90's kid, I believe it's my civic duty to be a fan of the great tunes produced in the '90s. The soft, love-songs that tear your heart into pieces, the female empowerment, or the tunes that'll bring you back to that nostalgic period in your life, dancing away. I hope you can appreciate these eight 90's r&b songs as much as I do.

1. "The Boy Is Mine" by Brandy & Monica

A duo match made in heaven, Brandy and Monica were meant to sing this wonderful tune together. This begins with the two talking to each other, asking if they knew the same man that their both dating. The song is a vocal battle, competing for the attention of the same guy, in my opinion, I sing both parts while listening to this song.

2. "Back At One" by Brian McKnight

Brian McKnight's gentle voice makes you want to fall in love with the perfect man. Throughout the song, McKnight lists the characteristics of his "lover" or "girlfriend", making you want to be that woman. This song will make your heart melt on the floor because of its beauty.

3. "Doo Wop(That Thing)" by Lauryn Hill

The great Lauryn Hill, a woman that leads the race in producing several of the best songs in the '90s. We all wish that Lauryn Hill comes back to the music industry and bless us with another amazing album. "Doo Wop(That Thing)" is from her self-titled album "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill", and infuses rap and soulful vocals into a song that is so iconic.

4. "Fantasy" by Mariah Carey

Mariah freaking Carey, an actual living legend and vocal goddess! If you don't know Mariah Carey or haven't heard of her than we can't talk right now. "Fantasy" embodies the 90's in a nutshell with the pop sounds and her beautiful voice, the song will make you dance nonstop.

5. "No Scrubs" by TLC

The female empowerment song of the 1990s, with the three women of TLC, they produced a song that women can sing in frustration of the men. "No Scrubs" is a song that lets you know that you should never accept anything less than the best. When you find a man, remember to listen to "No Scrubs" to know if you're dating the right man.

6. "All My Life" by K-Ci and JoJo

K-Ci and JoJo really had to drop this romantic song on all us like that in the 90's. "All my life" embodies that '90s r&b sound of love and romance, that'll make you want to fall in love.

7. "Don't Take It Personal(Just One Of Dem Days)" by Monica

"Don't Take It Personal(Just One of Dem Days)" is the song I can dance to in my room endlessly. No shame, just the vocals of Monica and the nostalgic 90's vibes.

8. "Say My Name" by Destiny's Child

How could I ever forget to add a Destiny's Child song on the list of timeless 90's r&b songs?? As a child, I dreamed of being a member of Destiny's Child, but sadly I couldn't. "Say My Name" is about the realization of your boyfriend cheating and with Beyoncé's empowering voice, this song will make you want to break up with the boyfriend you don't have.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

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.
