10 Song Playlist: Summer Adventures
crookedwillow

For most of us, it's summer! And a lot of us have exciting plans. Whether you're going to be going away on vacation, camping with friends and family, or doing a major road trip. Here's a playlist that will get us all hype for the memorable, lively adventures that the summer season brings us, and that you can play on the way to your destination!

1. Good Vibrations - The Beach Boys

The Beach Boys for decades defined a genre dedicated to summer. The 1966 hit summarizes the good vibes and good times we all have in the summer, and summer love. This poppy, upbeat song is a classic that will bring everyone into a cheery mood.

2. Raging Fire - Phillip Phillips

Phillip Phillips, who won American Idol in 2012, is won all of the world over with “Raging Fire.” Composed of a happy, upbeat tune and unforgettable lyrics, this song was a must for our playlist. Phillips’ most recent album, Behind the Light, was released earlier last year, and the musicianship is perfect for traveling or sitting by a raging fire.

The Golden Age - Beck

Off the Sea Changes album, this Beck classic reminds us all of the lazy Sundays we all get to enjoy in the summertime. This album and his most recent album, Morning Phase, have a lot of songs that are perfect for laying on a hammock and relaxing on sunny days.

4. Hot in Herre - Nelly

Throwback! This classic early 2000's hip hop track makes us all want to take our clothes off. It's a catchy track everyone has to have heard of. Play it at your next pool party.

5. Best Day of My Life - American Authors


Winner of the Radio Disney Best Road trip Song, it is apparent that this hit by American Authors is great for on the road. This motivating, optimistic track gives us that feeling of bliss and zen we all get when we're having a really great time with friends.

6. Summer Nights - Grease the Musical

This quirky, classic from Grease says it all. And who doesn't love musicals? From a boy's and a girl's perspective, we are all suckers for young, summer love on those summer nights.

7. Champagne Supernova - Oasis

Although Oasis doesn't even know what this song is truly about, it can be used for missing those we can't see during the summer, like our room mates that are home now, and how they missing from the good times we're having. But the hopefulness, and the wave effects give us that summer feel, but in a bittersweet way.

8. Here Comes The Sun - The Beatles

One of George Harrison's most known songs, this track by the legendary Beatles is peaceful, loving, and is appreciative towards the sun and all it's warm glory. It's a simple, therapeutic that makes us all want to go outside!

9. Life is a Highway - Tom Cochrane

For the country lovers. After everything is jammed in the back of your friend’s pickup truck, you very quickly lose at a game of shotgun and are forced to sit in the backseat…in the middle…figures! But even though the sun has only started to rise and you haven’t completely risen yourself, this early morning kicks off to a great start when the newly appointed front seat passenger DJ’s and plays this classic.

10. The Campfire Song Song - Spongebob Squarepants

Of course, the best for last! Do I even have to explain myself? The ultimate camping song for all ages. Don't forget to draw those seabear circles.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
