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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
