20 Songs That Fueled Our Teen Years That Will Always Bring Us Crazy Nostalgia When We Hear Them

Music as a Gen Z teen was epic and brought us some songs that will be apart of our lives forever.

These 20 songs will really take you back to the good old days and have you jamming out for hours.

1. “Somebody That I Used to Know” - Gotye

I just know these lyrics are carved into everyone's minds.

2. “Wildest Dreams” -Taylor Swift

These. Lyrics. Still. Hit.

3. “Riptide” - Vance joy

Flashback to 2013 and this was the only thing the radio was playing...

4. “One Last Time” - Ariana Grande

I just know we've heard this song at least 500 times.

5. “Take Me to Church” - Hozier

This will be classic in the years to come.

6. “Latch” - Disclosure & Sam Smith

338 million hits, need I say more?

7. "You & I” - One Direction

Anything One Direction, ruled my teen years.

8. “This Is Gospel” - Panic! At The Disco

Brendon Urie's vocals. That's it, that's all that needs to be said.

9. “Happier” - Bastille & Marshmello

Anyone shed a tear over the puppy? Just me? Okay...

10. “Young and Beautiful” - Lana Del Rey

Just the voice of an angel, c'mon.

11. “We are Young” - fun. & Janelle Monáe

May have been my ringtone circa 2013-2016...

12. “Young Dumb & Broke” - Khalid

American Teen. The album that ruled 2016.

13. “Cigarette Daydreams” - Cage the Elephant

This song just plays on my mind in loop.

14. “Feeling Whitney” - Post Malone

Stoney > beerbongs & bentleys. I said what i said.

15. “Be Alright” - Dean Lewis

We all listened to this song and pretended we were in a sad coming-of-age movie while looking out the car window..

16. "Blonde" - Frank Ocean

There's very few albums I can listen to from start to finish but this is definitely the one that ruled the late 2010s.

17. “Pour It Up” - Rihanna

Rihanna, I know you're busy being a bada** businesswoman with Fenty Beauty & SAVAGE X FENTY, but when will you release more bangers?

- Love,

The World

18. “Losers” - The Weeknd

Beauty Behind The Madness > Starboy

19. "LEMONADE" - Beyonce

I am convinced the world was never the same since Beyonce dropped this one.

20. “Malibu” - Miley Cyrus

Just a beautiful tune.

Peace out teen years, onto the next decade of music to appreciate and rave about.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

Does anybody know how to study

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
