16 Guilty Pleasure Songs We Hate To Love
Tumblr

We all have guilty pleasure songs. You know, the songs we secretly love but don't want to openly admit to. Or the songs we give a loud 'ugh' to every time we hear the opening note, yet end up belting out the lyrics as soon as they start playing. Many also just so happen to be featured in various movies. Yes, you know exactly what songs I'm talking about. If not, let me jog your memory a little.

1. "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton

Did the piano intro sound as soon as you read that title? Or Terry Crews belting out the song emotionally in White Chicks? It's a classic.

2. "Bye Bye Bye" by NSYNC

I feel like everyone and their mother knows this song. No literally, your mom is probably the reason you know this song. But it's so great... and a relevant meme for many occasions.

3. "Beautiful Soul" by Jesse McCartney

... Unless it's Jesse McCartney's. Right?

4. "Wannabe" by Spice Girls

If you wanna be my lover, you have to know this song. Just don't get with my friends. Please.

5. "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol


What a one-hit wonder.

6. "Livin' la Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin

You remember this? That fabulous performance in Shrek 2? That Spanish song on mainstream radio before Pitbull?

7. "Pocketful of Sunshine" by Natasha Bedingfield

These gifs are literally me with every guilty pleasure song of mine. Especially this song.

8. "Too Little Too Late" by JoJo

The ultimate breakup song pre "The Potential Breakup Song" by Aly & AJ.

9. "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen

This song is the definition of bubblegum bliss that you want to hate but can't help but love... or at least sing along.

10. "What Makes You Beautiful" by One Direction

This is the song that got them started, and even though it is incredibly cheesy, it's an incredible song to act out dramatically.

11. "Pieces of Me" by Ashlee Simpson

Well this one is quite the throwback to the early 2000s, when her and Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy's relationship was all the rage and Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray were on the J-14 magazine covers.


12. "It Wasn't Me" by Shaggy


I guess I can't blame Shaggy for my problems.

13. "I Want It That Way" by Backstreet Boys


Tell me why... we don't have boybands with coordinated dance moves still?

14. "Baby" by Justin Bieber


The song name is ironic. Look how young he was. Fun fact: This music video became the most viewed (over 1 Billion views) and 'disliked' video on Youtube, too.

15. "Barbie Girl" by Aqua

I really thought this song was a joke growing up; turns out it was really real.

16. "Oops!... I Did It Again" by Britney Spears

I played with your emotions, you got lost in these songs. Hopefully some of these songs are on your personal guilty pleasure list. If you feel like reminiscing, a Spotify playlist with these songs can be found here.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
