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.

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.
