We’ve gotten to the time when reboots/remakes are at large because nobody else has any more new ideas, and the same could be said for music. With some exceptions, everything worthwhile has already been written about in a song, so it’s good to look back and remember the music we listened to when we were younger, and hey if we still secretly jam out to Disney Channel songs in our twenties--well no one needs to know, do they? Here are songs to add to the throwback playlist you tell yourself that you don't have!

10 Car Sing-alongs

These include upbeat songs that you can’t help but bop your head to or the ones that, even when you haven’t heard them in years, you know all the lyrics to it when it comes on. These bops are definitely a sure fire way to jam with your friends, whether you're looking for quick one jam session or enough for an impromptu road trip.

  • Some Call it Magic By Raven Symoné (That’s So Raven)
  • Rush by Aly & AJ (Twitches)
  • What Dreams Are Made of by Hilary Duff (The Lizzie McGuire Movie)
  • Something About the Sunshine by Anna Margaret (Starstruck)
  • Year 3000/Burnin’ Up by Jonas Brothers
  • One and the Same by Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez (Princess Protection Program)

  • Get A Clue by Simon and Milo (Get a Clue)
  • Tell Me Something I Don’t Know by Selena Gomez and the Scene (Another Cinderella Story)
  • Girl Power by the Cheetah Girls (The Cheetah Girls)

10 Totally Relatable Tunes

My favorite group of the bunch, these songs packed a punch, hitting us in the feels before fandoms took over. These songs were either provide insight too real topics (for teens, anyway) or was a full on empowerment bop, either way, we all loved songs that could relate to our lives and feelings.
  • Over it by Anneliese Van Der Pol (Stuck in the Suburbs)
  • Push It to the Limit by Corbin Blue (Jump In!)
  • Outside Looking In by Jordan Pruitt

  • That Girl by Lindsay Lohan (Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen)
  • The Climb by Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana The Movie)
  • Go Figure by Everlife (Go Figure)
  • Cinderella by The Cheetah Girls (The Cheetah Girls)

5 Lovely Dove-y Jams

While love may be a foreign concept to us back then, we all thought that these bops were relationship goals before we created the term. These songs either played during a iconic romantic movie moment or they were a duo from our childhood otps, either way, we always have a special scene in mind when they come on.
  • Could it be by Christy Carlson Ramano (Kim Possible Movie: So the Drama)
  • Do You Believe In Magic by Aly & AJ (Now You See It)
  • Open Your Eyes to Love by LMNT (The Lizzie McGuire Movie)
  • Beautiful Soul by Jesse McCartney (Featured on That’s so Raven/Suite Life of Zack and Cody/ A Cinderella Story)
  • You Are the Music in Me/Everyday by Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical 2)

5 Breakup Bops

Even though most of us were too young to experience a real breakup, we all could jam out to these songs to make us feel like a rock-star. Whether a crush would never see us or we let go of a “relationship” that might have been, we all rocked out to these songs-- giving out imaginary fuck yous before we knew what those were.
  • Potential Break Up Song by Aly &AJ
  • It’s Over by The Cheetah Girls (Cheetah Girls 2)
  • She’s So Gone by Naomi Scott (Lemonade Mouth)
  • 7 Things by Miley Cyrus
  • Gotta Go My Own Way by Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical 2)

5 Catchy Songs From Imaginary “Bands"

Back before the time when every Disney Channel star was also a singer in the making, sometimes music from our favorite artists wasn’t enough. But where there was tv shows, there was a universe that included a fictional band ready with a basic but popular beat that most of us couldn’t get out of head if we tried, not that we really wanted to anyway.
  • Supernova by Proto Zoa and Microbe (Zenon: Girl of the 21st Cent)
  • Devotion by Boyz N Motion (That’s So Raven)
  • School’s Out by Rock Squared (Suite Life of Zack and Cody)
  • Nothings Wrong with Me by The Zetta Bytes (Pixel Perfect)
  • Can You Feel The Love by Cory and the Boys (That’s so Raven)

5 Songs that add Dancing in the Mix

Sometimes singing just doesn’t cut it, these tunes are ones to move to. Whether by video tutorial or self teaching, this choreography is as easy to remember as riding a bike- and twice as much fun. And if you have two left feet, these songs will make you want to dance like nobody’s watching (and hopefully, they’re not!)
  • We’re All in This Together (High School Musical)
  • Hoedown Throwdown by Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana The Movie)
  • Dance Me If You Can (The Cheetah Girls)
  • What Time Is It (High School Musical 2)
  • Can’t Back Down by Demi Lovato (Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam)

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
