I've always found that some of my favorite music are from artists that I don't hear much of on mainstream radio stations. Part of the fun of exploring new or old places in the summer are the anthems that accompany the road trip.

1. "Back Again" - Flor

This song will definitely hit you in your nostalgic feels.

2. "Something About You" - Hayden James, ODESZA Remix

This indie-electronic remix is the song to listen to during those midnight adventures out of town.

3. "Ocean Eyes" - Billie Eilish

Because who doesn't connect to a song of adoration featuring lyrics that compare the love interest's eyes to those of the ocean.

4. "Midnight City" - M83

This song may be half a decade old, but the feelings the French band captured of driving through LA at 2 am are never out of touch.

5. "Kids" - MGMT

While we were actually kids when MGMT released their album, Oracular Spectacular, the feel of this song is perfect for Summer Sixteen.

6. "Princess of China" -Coldplay, Rihanna

You can't really go wrong with anything of Coldplay's, remix or not, regardless of the season.

7. "Hope" -Tim Legend, featuring BR/\VE

A sensual and upbeat song of infatuation is always appropriate.

8. "Electrified" -Sam Wills

You'll definitely want to listen to this as you're getting ready to go out.

9. "Hello, Hello" -Mari Ferrari

Mari Ferrari is basically a really cool indie-pop blend of Cascada and Ellie Goulding.

10. "Out of My League"- Fitz and The Tantrums

This song, and all of FTT's albums.

11. "Love Me" -The 1975

Favorite song. Favorite band.

12. "Sleep On The Floor" -The Lumineers

Other favorite song from my tied-for-first favorite band. Pack your bags and listen to this song on your way out of town.

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
