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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
