10 Songs To Get You Through The Rest Of Summer
Happy Black Woman

With summer break racing to an end, it’s important that everyone has songs to get them through these final weeks and make them count.

1. "One Dance" by Drake

There’s no way anyone can deny this song has been a hit since Drake’s latest album, VIEWS, dropped back in late April. But somehow the track has managed to continue to stay on the radio throughout summer and is currently number one on Billboards Hot 100. "One Dance" definitely has some summer vibes from having a bottle of Hennessy in one hand to needing to get that last dance before you have to go.


2. "Gold" by Kiiara

When I first heard this song, I thought it was in another language, until I realized that the intro to the song is meant to sound like that. Kiiara is a 21-year-old pop singer from Wilmington which is a small town about an hour from Chicago, Illinois. Warning: the song is extremely catchy! One listen will definitely have you playing it for the rest of summer.

3. "This is What You Came For" by Calvin Harris ft. Rihanna

This song currently sits at number four on Billboard’s Hot 100, and it will get stuck in your head. "This is What You Came For" has undoubtedly been dominating your local pop radio show since it came out and it probably won’t be stopping any time soon.


4. "Cheap Thrills" by Sia ft. Sean Paul

I personally like the remix of "Cheap Thrills" more than the original-- not saying that Sia didn’t make a hit already, just that the addition of Sean Paul makes the song even better than it was before. The song is a good one for a girl’s night out, even when you aren’t planning to do anything special with your friends.

The main point of the song emphasizes how having a good time doesn’t have to involve spending a lot of money.

5. "Summertime" by LOLAWOLF

While you may not recognize LOLAWOLF, I’m sure you’ve heard of Zoë Kravtiz daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet. While her original fame might come from her parents, she’s definitely making her own spotlight with not only her acting (as seen in her role as Nakia in "Dope") and modeling career, but with her music as well. "Summertime" is the kind of song you’d probably be blasting while having a road trip to the beach.

6. "Caroline" by Amine

Portland rapper, Aminé, released this contagious track back in mid-March and just in time for summer break. The melody of the song positively will have you dancing along by the end of the first listen.


7. "Boy You Knock Me Out" by Tatyana Ali

"Boy You Knock Me Out" is a throwback and a perfect one for some summer romance. Many of you probably recognize Tatyana Ali from her roles as Ashley Banks on Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Probably didn’t know her skills included singing, did you?


8. "Get Lit" by A$AP Rocky ft Fat Tony

Many of you probably wonder where “lit” originated from and I would have to say from "Get Lit," which was released almost 5 years ago. For anyone who’s heard this song they probably play it once every summer. It’s a great song for when you’re kicking it back with your friends.


9. "Good Life" by Kanye West ft. T-Pain

Anyone who’s a fan of Kanye can agree that "Good Life" is one of his best songs. Even though it was released almost 8 years ago, it is always a good song to help you enjoy your summer to the fullest.

10. "This Is How We Do It" by Montell Jordan

Of course, I saved the best for last. If you’ve never heard "This How We Do It," click the link immediately.

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.
