10 Songs That Take Me Back To My Childhood

Judah Pemble

Sometimes nothing can beat taking some time to unplug from the present and playback the past. Up next are 10 songs that belong on my childhood soundtrack.

1. "Two Princes" by Spin Doctors

Perhaps more than any other song, "Two Princes" captures '90s pop-rock at its best in my book.

2. "Float On" by Modest Mouse

The catchy rhythm of this "Modest Mouse" success was good enough to leave on repeat.

3. "Semi-Charmed Life" by Third Eye Blind

Listening to this '90s staple group was the only thing that got me through biology class.

4. "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia

All my fantasized emotional struggles as a kid usually started with this song.

5. "Complicated" by Avril Lavigne

My favorite childhood song definitely deserves a spot on this list.

6. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana

No rebellious, "nobody understands me" phase is complete without some '90s grunge.

7. "All Star" by Smash Mouth

Whether it was because of "Shrek" or the many parodies of the lyrics, everyone knew the tune of this alternative hit.

8. "This Love" by Maroon 5

Before "Overexposed," "V," and "Hands All Over," there was "Songs About Jane."

9. "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson

Watching Kelly Clarkson go from the screen on "American Idol" to the radio was something I'm happy to say I witnessed.

10. "Upside Down" by Jack Johnson

The sing along acoustic style of the "Curious George" movie soundtrack was a bus-ride favorite back in the day, with "Upside Down" topping the album.

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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.
