Summer is full of brunch, sun rays, and hopefully hot new songs you can plan a vacation too. So far, there has been a variety of releases that already leave me missing summer. Here are a few of my personal favorites:

1. Best Friend - Rex Orange County

Best Friend is a groovy California vibe that you can take on any road trip. This fun song is something that you will find yourself immediately singing along to. Lead singer, Alex O'Connor, has a wholesome voice that makes you feel like he is "your favorite boy".

2. Uh Huh - Julia Michaels

If you're looking for a flirty girl's anthem, then look no further. By the time school starts, you and your girls will have this tune stuck in the back of your heads (while leaving flirty winks for the cutie walking past you in the Quad).

3. Everything Now - Arcade Fire

If there was ever a song that would make you reminisce of a time full of billowy peasant blouses and unkempt beards, then this would be it. Even though you probably weren't alive during the "Summer of Love", this song will transport you back in time. Make sure you have a flower crown on your head and a meadow to prance through.

4. Heatstroke - Calvin Harris feat. Young Thug, Pharrell Williams, and Ariana Grande

I mean, we all expected a banger from The King Of Summer, Calvin Harris, but we never expected a collab like this. This song is for when you and you're friends are working on your tan at Quinn's Pond (when it's open, that is).

5. Gravity - River Tiber

I am going to be straight with you. Gravity is one of those slow jams that instantly makes you want to swing your hips and snap your fingers, simple as that. Just listen to it now.


6. Cruel Intentions - JMSN

JMSN will leave you feeling like you have cruel intentions of your own. If you ever need to take over the world or just make an entrance, this song will give you all the confidence to do so. Play it in the background while you're buffing out your smoky eye, and don't forget the red lipstick.


7. GIRLS GIRLS - Icona Pop

Remember the summer anthem "I Love It"? Well Icona Pop is back at it with another hot jam to get you pumped. Feel free to sing to this song in the shower or at a rave. My advice...start thinking of a dance routine now!


8. Hipster Girl - Falcxne & Naji

If the title isn't enough, then give these lyrics a laugh while you're dancing at the Mochi Bar in Whole Foods.

"She got her jeans from 1993
Copped the Reeboks before Yeezy
Brought AOL back from the dead
But she still don't use it cause it's not cool yet"

9. Moonlight - Grace VanderWall

Remember that ukulele sweetheart that debuted on America's Got Talent? Well, she has a killer single out now! Her sweet yet raspy voice, and killer strumming skills, will leave you wanting to learn to play the uke and sing like this child prodigy.


10. Love Less - R.LUM.R

Okay, I will be honest...I am biased about R.LUM.R. His voice is amazing, and I firmly believe that anything he puts out is fantastic! In Love Less, his lyrics pull out some tender feelings of heartbreak and leaves you wanting more. Be careful when listening to this song when you're going to brunch, because it may just leave you crying over your french toast.



Considering that it's only June, I am looking forward to all of the bangers that have yet to be released.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.
