Oh, middle school. Not necessarily the greatest of memories, but the music was totally wicked cool. My personal taste in music has always been diverse. But in my preteen years, my favorites were angsty tunes, a la Avril Lavigne and Evanescence. I also enjoyed all the female powered pop songs that were all over the charts.

I had a white iPod shuffle that was a Christmas gift from my aunts. You know the one, it was shaped like a middle finger and could only hold 99 songs (Why 99 and not 100, we will never know).

So close your eyes and let this list of songs take you back to the days of Paul Frank, Aeropostale polos, those weird rubber 'sex' bracelets.

1. Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado feat. Timbaland

Somehow, this song was played at the 8th grade dance and it's still my go-to karaoke song. I still know all the words, and yes, I sing as both Timbaland and Nelly Furtado.

2. Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield

This song was just the ultimate pop bop and was featured in so many movie soundtracks.

3. SexyBack by Justin Timberlake feat. Timbaland

This song was on fire when it first came out.

4. Don't Cha by the Pussycat Dolls feat. Busta Rhymes

I have vivid memories of listening to this in 8th grade health class.

5. SOS by Rihanna

Rihanna was still very new to the music scene and putting out the ultimate dance songs.

6. Move Along by The All-American Rejects

The All-American Rejects were super popular and this song was on so many movie soundtracks.

7. London Bridge by Fergie

I still remember the day I bought The Dutchess album, because my dad was really concerned about the album cover.

8. Everytime We Touch by Cascada

I went through a really intense Cascada phase.

9. Dance, Dance by Fall Out Boy

Fall Out Boy definitely had a lot of great songs in the early 2000's.

10. Too Little, Too Late by JoJo

An iconic middle school break-up track.

11. Bring Me To Life by Evanescence

I don't care how emo it is, this song is still one of the best. I would listen to it while rollerblading or before swim practice.

12. Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani

What you'd listen to on the bus as if you were about to have a real fight in the schoolyard.

13. Hot in Herre by Nelly

Yeah, this song was already a bit old but it was so fun to sing along to. Also, they (questionably) played it at school dances.

14. Complicated by Avril Lavigne

It always felt like this song was really deep.

15. She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5

For looking out the window and watching the raindrops fall.

16. So Yesterday by Hilary Duff

Still not over the Metamorphosis album.

17. Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood

Because of Carrie Underwood, I only shoot whiskey.

18. Lose My Breath - Destiny's Child

Before Beyonce went solo, she was putting out bangers with Destiny's Child.

19. I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman by Britney Spears

The perfect song to describe puberty, honestly.

20. Barbie Girl by Aqua

This song came out when I was in elementary school, but it definitely was one of the first ringtones I chose for my Virgin Mobile flip phone.

21. Hips Don't Lie by Shakira feat. Wyclef Jean

Everyone taking middle school Spanish felt cool when they could sing along to this song.

22. Hey Ya! by OutKast

Man, I miss OutKast and the days of 'shaking it like a Polaroid picture'.

22. Smile by Lily Allen

Lily Allen with her infectious pop beats and cheeky lyrics really shaped most of my formative years.

24. My Happy Ending by Avril Lavigne

I miss the old Avril.

25. Can't Hold Us Down by Christina Aguilera feat. Lil' Kim

I was obsessed with the whole Stripped album.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
