9 Of The Best '00s Songs To Give You Nostalgia
indianonlineview.blogspot.com

Every decade comes with its own unique set of music and genres. For those of us born in the mid-to-late 1990s, we were blessed with some amazing music to grow up listening to in the 2000s. Here are just some of the many songs you probably can still sing along to this day.

1. "Beautiful Soul" by Jesse McCartney, 2004

You may not have heard this one in a long time but you could probably still sing it with just as much enthusiasm. That long blonde hair "swooshed" to the side had all of swooning back in the day.

2. "Hollaback Girl" by Gwen Stefani, 2005

Not only is this song super catchy, but Gwen's repetition of the spelling of "bananas" helped us never get it wrong on spelling tests.

3. "Year 3000" by Jonas Brothers, 2006

Everyone's favorite trio of the 2000s started out with a bit of an unconventional hit song but it was still well loved. While the trio has since pursued their own individual careers, these brothers made some great music that still gives us nostalgia to this day.

4. "What Dreams Are Made Of" by Hillary Duff (a.k.a. Lizzie McGuire), 2003

Ending the Lizzie McGuire era with a movie was the best way to end it, and a dream come true to feature an amazing song at the end of the movie. It featured Hilary as "Lizzie" and her brunette doppelgänger "Isabella" singing this empowering ballad after embarrassing the bad guy, Paolo, after he tried to ruin Isabella's career. It can't get any better than that.

5. "Umbrella" by Rihanna, 2007

After this, we never walked in the rain with an umbrella without singing this song a little in our head.

6. "Bye Bye Bye" by NSYNC, 2000

This one by NSYNC, featuring Justin Timberlake with curly hair, said "Bye Bye Bye" to the 1990s and that "ain't no lie."

7. "Fergalicious" by Fergie, 2006

If you are ever having a bad day and not feeling confident about yourself, sing the lyrics to this song. While she is singing about herself, it can help you feel "Fergalicious" too.

8. "Crazy In Love" by Beyonce, 2003

While trying out her solo career apart from Destiny's Child, Beyonce made us "Crazy In Love" with her with this song. It even featured her then-boyfriend and now-husband, Jay-Z.

9. "Hot In Herre" by Nelly, 2002

This probably was not the most appropriate song to be singing as a kid, but we all knew it regardless. We probably sang and danced to it more times than we can count, both back then and today.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
