50 Monumental Pop Culture Moments That All College Girls Will Remember

Britney Spears circa 2007. Justin Timberlake's highlighted curls and Paris Hilton's sex tape were just some of the pop culture nonsense we lived through. There are some moments which stand out more than others, moments of romance, humour and public downfall. Time to reminisce on a time where wearing metallic clothing was in and R Kelly's 'Ignition' ruled the charts; here are 50 monumental moments that all college girls will remember.

50. When Sabrina & Harvey Drove On Off On His Motorbike Into Eternal Love

If they can make it, anyone can...

49. That Time Britney Spears Shaved Her Head

And attacked a car with an umbrella teaching us an important lesson; the only way is up.

48. And Zoey 101 Got Knocked Up

It wasn't a good time for the Spears family...

47. WHEN WESTLIFE BROKE UP </3

Hearts broke across the nation as it was announced that the lads were breaking up. No more Childline concerts, matching tracksuits or intense camera eye contact. I don't know how we've survived since.

46. When Beyoncè Announced She Was Preggers At The VMA's

Don't pretend you weren't excited!

45. Shuffling All, Day Errday

... I've hung my high-top sneakers since.

44. The World's Most Ridiculous Song Was Realised

There are no words... basically.

43. When Scott Lost His Sh*t On KUWTK

I used to hate this douche. But he's actually become one of the only reasons I watch the show now. No one cares about the Jenner kids, Lord Disick for life.

42. Polytonic Ringtones

Ding Ding.

41. A Time When Uggs & Denim Shorts Were Sexy

A simpler time.

40. When Mike Was Shot In Desperate Housewives

Lawl.

I just love how she's just like "No, not again, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!".

37. When Kayne Did This...

In all fairness, Beyoncè did have the better music video.

36. When Big Fucked Up Bit Time In SATC The Movie

I wish she had a knife instead of that bouquet of flowers.

35. When Bey & Jay Dropped 'Crazy In Love' & Blew Us The Fuck Away

After D.C broke up I didn't know if I would ever be ready to accept Bey as a solo artist, until this banger came out. Little did we know she was gonna take over the pop world and reign as Queen Bey.

34. Spencer Pratt Being A Dickhead All The Way Through The 00's

Do you remember how much he would make your blood boil? Ugh! He still pisses me off. Too many painful memories of thinking "YOU CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER THAN HIM HEIDI". Oh well...

33. And Lauren Conrad Being Our Teenage Voice Of Reason

She gave the best advice when it came to boys, friends and she always took her career seriously. Once a hero, always a hero.

32. The Ting Tings

'That's Not My Name' was the summer song of 2008. It was played at every single disco, party, at the back of the school bus, everywhere!

31. Madonna & Britney Wearing The Face Off One Another At The VMA's 2002

Nobody saw this coming. I still feel bad for Chirstina being a third wheel, I mean she did get a kiss from Madonna... but after Britney.

30. Double-Fucking-Rainbow

Those Songnify guys on Youtube produced the best remixes of random video's there are on the internet. Not to mention they were horribly catchy.

29. Fuck It For Chris

As a teenager 'Skins' wasn't just my salvation but my guide to being a party girl, safe to say I had a good time.

28. When We Found Out Who Gossip Girl Was

I'll never tell...

I don't who's side you were on but I'm Team Jen 4 life.

La La la, La La La Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

24. Nikki & Big Brother

I have no idea where or what Nikki is doing with herself now, but she's probably still orange and still incredibly entertaining.

23. When Katy Perry Conquered Russell Brand's Heart

Before it all went to shit.

22. The Size 0 Epidemic

The mid-00's, a time in Hollywood where if you weren't just skin and bone you weren't attractive. Not to say Hollywood doesn't pressure women into a skeleton thin body type, but at least society is embracing curves now.

21. That Beehive

I heard her hair is so big it's full of secrets... and cocaine.

20. When Mr.Darcy Proposed to Bridget Jones

There is hope for all of us ladies.

19. Amy Winehouse, Your Man From Baby Shambles & Those Baby Rats

Taking out of it to a entire new level.

For the sake of night terrors it's a sight I never want to see again.

No doubt you grew up watching Toy Story. If you were an avid fan then you, like me, were sobbing uncontrollably at the end of Toy story 3. I can talk about it without my eyes welling up, so moving swiftly on...

11. WHENEVER, WHEREVER

We're meant to be together...

10. Jeremy Kyle Got Whacked With An Envelope, And It was HILARIOUS

9. Peter Andre & Katie Price's Wedding

Cringe cringe cringe....

I gotta say I'm really digging the Elvis look he's been rocking lately.

4. When Everyone Wanted Rihanna's Red Hair

Only the lucky girls with cool parents let them dye their hair this beautiful colour.

3. Pete Wentz Rocking Guy-liner & It Was Totally Acceptable

It's 2014 and it's still totally acceptable.

2. Jessica Simpson "Chicken or Fish" dilemma

On reflection I don't know why this was such a big deal. But it was a massive deal in 2003 and food packaging has improved, or our generation is just smarter. Let's go with the latter.

1. Miley Cyrus Grinding All Over Robin Thicke's D & We Were All Like

And then it got weirder when Billy Ray Cyrus realised a new version of 'Achy Breaky Heart'. So so weird...
