A Definitive Ranking Of The "High School Musical" Songs

"High School Musical" came out 12 years ago in 2006. Yeah, 12 years ago. Since then, it has been a constant staple in my throwback playlists.

But we all know some of the songs are better than others, and one of the movies is the best out of all three. I tend to butt heads with friends over which songs are the best, and now I am settling it once and for all.

1. "Breaking Free"

The end all, be all. I will scream this at the top of my lungs whenever it comes on.

2. "Start of Something New"

The song that started it all, also a bop if there ever was one.

3. "When There Was Me and You"

If you didn't dramatically sing this to yourself when you were younger, you're lying.

4. "Get'cha Head in the Game"

The irony of the song makes it that much better. You don't want your basketball team to know you love singing, so you sing an entire song about it at basketball practice with your team singing backup. Makes perfect sense.

5. "What I've Been Looking For" (Sharpay/Ryan or Troy/Gabriella)

The Sharpay and Ryan version was a little incesty, so that's why it's #5.

6. "We're All in this Together"

It's a great song but after the first chorus, I'm over it. It's the best cumulative song for the movie, but it ends the movie on a high note and that's about it.

7. "Stick to the Status Quo"

This is only because the song should have been an anthem for empowerment. But Sharpay comes in and ruins it all with her tyranny.

8. "Bop to the Top"

I will be 110% honest, this is the last one because I absolutely hated the song as a child solely. Ryan and Sharpay were trying to ruin Troy and Gabriella's lives; no reason other than that.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
