10 Songs To Add To Your April Playlist

From the newest hits, to the old jams that will make us sentimental, and even the "borrowed" songs remade into spectacular covers by today's top artists, enjoy this roundup of some of the songs you need to get you through the month of April.

1. "Lost in Japan"- Shawn Mendes

Shawn has been hinting to a new album release with his social media posts, and this only makes sense after the release of two new singles within the past two weeks. First, he released "In My Blood" and then this song, "Lost In Japan". Both songs are incredible, and are perfect for a long car ride.

2. "Contra"- Logic

Bobby Tarantino II is an ode to "mixtape Logic" and his culture as Bobby rose to fame. Shortly after releasing this album, him and his wife (Jessica Andrea, pictured on the album cover) announced their separation after two years of marriage. While the whole album features feel-good songs, "Contra" has proven to be the perfect song to workout to.

3. "Walk on Water"- Thirty Seconds To Mars

Although I've never been an entirely huge Thirty Seconds to Mars fan, this album won me over. Jared Leto and his band decided to make an album about the American dream and the concept of our country today, and "America" is the product of just that. ("Walk on Water" is controversial, empowering, and pure greatness.)

4. "Your Song"- Lady Gaga

Revamp: The Songs of Elton John & Bernie Taupin is one of the best things we've received in April so far. Some of our favorite artists collaborated on a reimagining album of Elton John & Bernie Taupin's greatest works. My personal favorite is Lady Gaga's rendition of "Your Song", but you can catch Coldplay, Florence + The Machine, Sam Smith, and Miley Cyrus on the album too.

5. "Pray"- Sam Smith (feat. Logic)

Everybody needs a little (or a lot, if you're me) Sam Smith in their lives. This collaboration remix with Logic features the rapper singing over a bluesy-guitar as opposed to his traditional beats, which adds an interesting twist to Sam Smith's emotional ballad.

6. "Vincent"- Ellie Goulding

Released at the beginning of February 2018, Ellie Goulding's newest single gives us a beautiful cover of Don McLean's iconic song tribute to Vincent van Gough, "Vincent". Her beautiful acoustic-guitar accompanied rendition is exactly what you need before you go to bed, or just to unwind after a stressful day.

7. "Want You Back"- 5 Seconds of Summer

This song has our inner middle-school-girl personality coming out in full force. This boyband has us in our feels and dancing in the kitchen at the same time. A job well done, 5SOS.

8. "Knock You Down"- Keri Wilson, Kanye West, Ne-Yo

Obviously there has to be a throwback (or two, or three?) on your playlist, and this song is one of them. It makes for a perfect pick-me-up on days when you just need to jam in the shower or the car.

9. "Gravity"- Sara Bareilles

There's always that one song on the playlist that makes you want to cry your eyes out (in a good way?)... and Sara Bareilles does just that with her song "Gravity". Again, another classic song that just gets better with time.

10. "When Love Takes Over"- David Guetta (feat. Kelly Rowland)

Since the latter of this list has consisted of some serious sentimental vibes, it only makes sense to reminisce on the iconic Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child. 8 years later, and this song is just as good as the first time I've heard it. Play it while you workout or clean the house to make things a little more fun!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
