Let's face it, it's summertime and no one wants to be stuck inside at work all week when plenty of other fun things could be happening - road trips, bonfires with friends, and trips to the cottage. While I can't give you a get out of jail free card, these songs will help you last until the weekend.


1. "I'm Alive (Life Sounds Like)" - Michael Franti & Spearhead

Ever heard that song that goes "Say heyyyy, I'll be gone today....I love you, I love you, I love you"? The guy who sings that song also sings this one, called "I'm Alive," and it's just as catchy. I honestly can't remember how I found it but it's become one of my all-time favorites.

2. "Get Out - Casey Abrams"

Another one that I don't know how I found but it's become one of my favorites. You might recognize the artist- yes, it's that Casey Abrams from season 10 of American Idol. It's a breakup song, but it's very upbeat and you'll be humming it all day long.

3. "Keep Your Head Up - Andy Grammer"

Classic, upbeat pop song that just about everyone knows. It's cliche because it's such a good pick-me-up song.

4. "Brand New - Ben Rector"

I've heard this on the radio recently, and like "Keep Your Head Up," it's another upbeat pop song that will have you singing along.

5. "Good Life - OneRepublic"

Disney used this song in one of their TV commercials for Disney World, and now whenever I hear this song, all I can think about is Disney World.

6. "Ophelia - The Lumineers"

I got my little sister hooked on this catchy tune from The Lumineers' most recent album. "O-Ophelia, heaven help the fool who falls in love."

7. "Pencil Full of Lead" - Paolo Nutini

I love one of Paolo Nutini's other songs called "New Shoes," but this one's got an old-fashioned big band sound that I'm obsessed with.

8. "Bibia Be Ye Ye" - Ed Sheeran

After Divide came out, I was curious as to what "Bibia Be Ye Ye" meant. According to the internet, this phrase means "everything will be alright" in a language called Twi, spoken by the Ashanti people in South Ghana.

9. "Something That I Want" - Grace Potter

This song is on the Tangled soundtrack, which is one of my all-time favorite Disney movies. I used to listen to some of Grace Potter's music, and I still love this song.

10. "Celeste" - Ezra Vine

I discovered this song quite recently and it's become my new favorite song. It just makes me smile when I hear the opening few bars.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
