Flashback Friday: My High School Grad Mix CD From 2003

I recently dusted off my old CD cases and took a trip down musical memory lane by listening to the many mixes I made in my teen years circa late '90s, early '00s. And as it's graduation season, I thought it'd be fun to share my high school grad mix from 2003, which I've now converted to a Spotify playlist for your listening convenience. It includes such classics as "Graduation" by Vitamin C, "Here's to the Night" by Eve 6," and "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" by Green Day. Keep in mind, I was supersingle and angsty in high school, so there are some sappy songs thrown in there as well. Listen to the playlist below, and share your favorite songs from high school in the comments!
