50 Throwback Songs For Your Late-2000s Middle School Nostalgia Playlist

For most people in college or recently graduated, middle school can be as far as 10 years ago. The times have changed, the music has definitely changed, but the love of your favorite throwback hits will always stay the same. Although it's been quite a while since you listened to these songs with your iPod nano or shuffle (if you were lucky) on the ride home from school, it's never too late to enjoy some of your own middle school classics.

For me, middle school brought some amazing artists now like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Kesha, and Miley Cyrus and any song that was remotely catchy. So the next time you're in the car or on the bus, throw on these songs for a blast from the past.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
