lesson planning: an ode

or alternatively, "songs that make me hate thinking of differentiation a little less." teachers are humans, too. this teacher needs some grooves to think straight, so she thought she'd share her current jammy jams. is it too uncool to call them eargasms? am i dating myself?

this list is a no holds barred look at the fact that i'm over thirty and am desperately holding on to my middle school/high school days. i can distinctly remember hanging out in my parents basement, blasting a bootlegged copy of nelly's hot in herrr and dancing like some ratchet hoes well before the concept of being ratchet existed. ahh, the aughts-- what a wonderful time to have existed alongside pre-meltdown britney, slutty xtina, nelly and a generationally confused will smith. anyone remember gettin' jiggy with it? 

of course you do. it's only a masterpiece

anyways, put these on blast, but not in the way you air dirty laundry. i found most of these songs in a throwback party playlist on spotify but i've added some of my own choices because i personally cannot abide by having whitney houston anywhere
