Throwback Songs To Bring Back Into Your Life
WP content

I'm on my computer writing an essay, and I have my iTunes library which I haven't updated since sixth grade playing in the background. All of a sudden, I hear a song from eighth grade, and I flashback to my first dance where I slow danced with that guy with glasses and we had at least a foot in between us. While the memory may not be the fondest, those throwback songs will always have a special place in my heart. They bring back memories and moments in a way very few senses can. So as I create a whole new Spotify dedicated to the golden years of my elementary and middle-school life, here are a few of my personal favorite that I would love to hear on the radio again:

"Say My Name" by Destiny's Child

Come on, this song needs to come back on the radio. It is legendary and ageless, and we need to educate the next generation of Beyoncé's past. We also need to petition for a Destiny's Child reunion tour. Please...


"Hot in Here" by Nelly

If your parents were like mine, you could only listen to this song at your friends' houses. But this was song was and always will be a staple for the AUX cord


"Complicated" by Avril Lavigne

The amount of angst a seven year old could have with this song is unbelievable. And Avril Lavigne was my muse for rejecting all "preppy clothes" and hoping to one day meet my very own...


"Sk8er Boi" by Avril Lavigne

This. Was. My. Jam. I thought I was so punk and I immediately went to Hot Topic to replicate the exact outfit she was wearing in the music vide.


"Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson

This was the song you played in your room and danced around like a maniac too. And you always listened to this song when you broke up with your boyfriend of three days on Myspace and just needed someone like Kelly to know what you were going through


"Beautiful Soul" by Jesse McCartney

If Jesse McCartney wasn't your first crush you're lying. Those blonde tips could make any eighth grader swoon, and you know you bought all of the J-14 magazines with his picture on the cover so you could cut it out and paste it on your way (nope, just me?)


"One, Two Step" by Ciara

Automatic, supersonic, hypnotic, funky fresh


"Temperature" by Sean Paul

You may not have been able to sing along, but this was the best song


"Fergalicious" by Fergie

Fer-ga-li-cious def-i-ni-tion make them boys go loco


"Thnks Fr Th Mmrs" by Fall Out Boy


Throwback to when Kim Kardashian was an irrelevant extra in a music video


And lastly, one of the greatest jams of them all...


"Beautiful Girls" by Sean Kingston

There has never been a jam in my life as amazing as this one


Happy listening!

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.

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.
