In This Article:

Flashback to 2009. You're back in middle school. It's 10 p.m. on a school night and you're listening to music on your iPod Nano (or iPod Shuffle/iPod Touch). You're laying in bed, screaming your heart out. You're sad, and your heart is broken... or is it?

I can't count how many times back then I listened to songs, pretending as though I related to the artists. I don't even know how many times I sat there, angry at boys or the world, belting my whole heart and soul into songs by Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne, and Jordin Sparks.

It's funny looking back, actually having experienced real heartbreak and feeling bitter at the world for outcomes beyond my control. Back then, it was just little ol' me, experiencing some false big feelings. Now, it's still me, experiencing big feelings I wish I didn't have to feel.

Here are 15 songs I screamed my heart and soul into, and I bet you did too.

"Impossible" - Shontelle

"Unfaithful" - Rihanna

"What Hurts The Most" - Rascal Flats

"Pocketful of Sunshine" - Natasha Bedingfield

"One Step At a Time" - Jordin Sparks

"If I Die Young" - The Band Perry

"Rolling in the Deep" - Adele

"Too Little Too Late" - JoJo

"Fucking Perfect" - P!nk

"Breakaway" - Kelly Clarkson

"Sk8er Boi" - Avril Lavigne

"Tattoo" - Jordin Sparks

"I Never Told You" - Colbie Caillat

"Girlfriend" - Avril Lavigne

"Behind These Hazel Eyes" - Kelly Clarkson

"No Air" - Jordin Sparks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
