16 Songs You Need For A Real Summer Experience
Dimitrios Kambouris

I have heard time and time again that music is a lifestyle. I myself am a firm believer that music curates the imagination and inspires people. Music may aid you in times of need, and this summer you may need some help in the form of "sick tunes." So without further ado, here are 16 songs for every ocassion of your Summer '16!

1. When finals were over

"Free" – Broods

"Hallelujah - I'm free"

2. Feeling good about yourself because Macklemore failed too

"Let's Eat (feat. Xperience)" – Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, X-Perience

"I never knew what a carbohydrate was
Turns out that it's all the snacks I love"

3. Trying to convince your parents you should not be at summer school

"Creep" – Radiohead

"I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo,
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here."

4. Mourning for yourself after your first embarrassing incident of the summer

"The Funeral" – Band of Horses

"At every occasion I'll be ready for the funeral"

5. Needing poetic inspiration

"Kung Fu" – Baauer, Pusha T, Future

"Whip it up (whip, whip), whip it up (whip, whip)"

6. To make the world in front of you appear as an array of muted, indie-esque colors

"Electric Love" – BØRNS

"You make my heart beat like the rain"

7. Pretending you are in Cabo (and not your bed) for vacation

"Feel The Love - Sam Feldt Edit" – Janieck, Sam Feldt

"When the air is filled with summer rain
I could feel the love"

8. When you've reached a new level of Candy Crush, so you have to spend some time to cool off

"Sometimes" – Heems

"Made enough friends, ain't no room in the Benz"

9. Writing an article so you need a song in a different language to concentrate

"Hyperparadise - Flume Remix" – Flume

10. For a true confidence boost

"A+E (feat. Kandaka Moore & Nikki Cislyn)" – Clean Bandit, Kandaka Moore, Nikki Cislyn

"I’m a snake, I’m a tricky little freak,
I’m a killer you won’t see me as I slither down the street"

11. To put you in the mood for a long drive

12. Reminiscing about peaking in middle school and being the dancing queen

"Electropop" – Jupiter Rising

"Electropop hot
Funk friction when it's getting hot"

13. Feeling antsy for a feel-good bass drop

"Feel Good Mad Citizens" -- Blonde X Khrebto

14. Needing some good advice or inspiration

"Time" – Yuna

"I was too young for rejection
Never too young for a passion"

15. Believing that you could be Matthew Koma's Taylor Swift

"I Wish (My Taylor Swift)" – The Knocks, Matthew Koma

"It's summertime in Los Angeles
Breathing easy on the sand 'til the sunburn hits"

(Story of my life, if we're being honest here.)

16. Embracing your inner trashy queen

Listen to this one at your own discretion.

"21st Century Digital Girl - Radio Version" – Groove Coverage

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.

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.
