10 Albums To Get You Through The Rest Of The Summer

As the end of the summer gets closer and closer, I find that music soothes me and brings me enjoyment more anything else. I enjoy long walks with my headphones with the sounds of my favorite songs blasting into my ears. As an avid music lover, I've changed my music listening habits and listened to whole albums from start to finish. It's created more of a love and admiration for certain artists because I can hear the differences in certain songs.

I highly recommend that you find an artist that you love and listen to any albums they have from start to finish. On that note, here are ten albums to get you through the rest of the summer with genres varying...

10. Heartthrob- Tegan and Sara

This album came out in 2013 and is perfect if you are in the mood for indie pop. The best place to play this album would be beachside or at a rooftop gathering or party. Notable songs include "Goodbye, Goodbye," "Drove Me Wild," and "Closer."

9. Talking is Hard- Walk The Moon

Another highly recommendable indie album from the year 2014. The song "Shut Up and Dance" was a Top 40 hit but the song "Work This Body" has become a favorite of mine.

8. Calvin Harris- Funk Wav Bounces Vol.1

Calvin Harris is always a summer go to and every song he releases is guaranteed to be a smash hit record. His new album, released this past June, offers a whole new batch of summer ready songs. They are the perfect songs to blast in your car speakers and take a drive to.

7. Coloring Book- Chance The Rapper

Chance is without a doubt one of the most talked about artists of the past two years and his success is hard to miss or observe. The perfect album for a beach day or a couple of hours spent in a hammock.

6. Oh My My- OneRepublic

OneRepublic always deliver smash hits and this latest record delivers that. The perfect album to blast on a long drive or the soundtrack to your next party/gathering.

5. Gone Now- Bleachers

Every Bleachers song sounds like it came out of a John Hughes' movies from the 1980s and its the perfect vibe for summertime. Take a listen to "Everybody Lost Somebody," it's my favorite.

4. Everybody- Logic

This summer I became a huge fan of Logic's and this album had 100% to do with that. This is an album for all occasions and it's definitely been the most played on my Spotify.

3. Starboy- The Weeknd

I'm definitely late on this one but I can't stop listening to this album. Every song is good. That's all I have to say.

2. Strange Desire- Bleachers

A further reiteration on the John Hughes feelings. This is my favorite album of all time and I will listen to it no matter the season.

1. American Teen- Khalid

I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO KHALID. Sorry for the screaming. This guy's voice is so good and the music just puts you in an amazing mood. I highly recommend "American Teen, "Let's Go," "Saved" and "Winter."

Happy listening!

11 College Misconceptions Every Incoming Freshman Needs To Know

Think of everything that you've heard about college... and completely forget it.

Helen Horton

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

9 Things Only Girls With Bleached Hair Will Understand

Blonde hair, don't care!

Endicott College

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

10 Little White Lies You Tell Your Parents In College

"Uh? Eating? Am I Eating? Yeah..."

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
