Even though our microphones were hairbrushes, we could rock along with the best of them.

Picture this: You're back in middle school. You've just gotten off the school bus and have kicked off your turquoise Vans to the corner of your bedroom. "Tiger Beat Magazine" posters cover every inch of your boring, beige walls and you collapse on your tousled twin bed. Digging out your iPod Nano from the depths of your backpack, you plug in and set your imaginary stage.

If you're like me, this was a very real daily routine back in the golden years of youth. These are six 2000's songs that could turn anyone into a bedroom rockstar.

1. "This Is Me" - Demi Lovato

The anthem of middle schoolers everywhere, "This Is Me" by Demi Lovato in the beloved movie, "Camp Rock," always lifted the spirits as well as the self-esteem while you lip-synced into your hairbrush and imagined singing alongside Joe Jonas *swoon*.

2. "7 Things" - Miley Cyrus

You're a scorned girl; the boy you have a crush on didn't admit to his forbidden feelings for you when you *67-ed him at the sleepover with your friends last weekend. In retaliation, you blast this classic Miley hit and get all of your feelings out... at least until you see him in homeroom again and start all over.

3. "Burnin' Up" - Jonas Brothers

This lovely number never failed to cheer up a dragging youngster and enhance their rockstar imagination. Include two of your very best friends in the fun and your trio could have taken over the world. Or at least the after-school snack session.

4. "We're All In This Together" - East High

Don't try and deny it; we've all known the dance moves to this song at one point or another. Whether in the school gymnasium or alone in your room, this anthem to teen unity brings all the feels.

5. "Nobody's Perfect" - Hannah Montana**

This song always came in handy after a bad haircut or a nasty breakout reared its ugly blackheads. Even as a fictional character, Hannah gave us the perfect song to blast on the boom box when you were feeling the need for a pick-me-up.

6. "Play My Music" - Connect 3**

Being a big-time [bedroom] rockstar means we need a song to describe our absolute and pure love for music, a love that reaches down deep into our soul. Luckily, our favorite 2000s trio provided the perfect anthem to sing to the family cat as he lounges in your bedroom.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. 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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
