20 Songs For The Summer
The Imaginative Conservative

I'm sharing 20 of the songs that I've had on repeat pretty much all summer. Some are more recent, but some are throw backs and will always be my favorites. If something peaks your interest, definitely go check it out (the songs are in no particular order).

1. "NO" by Meghan Trainor

I love this song simply because it's just so catchy and on top of that it pretty much explains what every girl feels like when a guy tries to chase her and she isn't feeling him at all.


2. "Dope" by Fifth Harmony

I just came across this song while watching YouTuber, Andrea Russett's, snap story. Once I heard the whole song, I've been obsessed ever since.


3. "Say It" (featuring Tove Lo) by Flume

I've recently become a fan of Flume, and this song is one of my favorites from their album, "Skin."


4. "Nothing Is Promised" by Rihanna


This song is great if you're looking for a song with a good beat. It is quite repetitive, but I still can't stop listening to the song.


5. "Hold Up" by Beyoncé

I have probably overplayed the "Lemonade" album, but this is my favorite song from the album so, naturally, I continue to listen to it over and over again.


6. "Touch It" by Ariana Grande

I'm in love with the album, "Dangerous Woman," this is probably my number one favorite song.


7. "One Dance" by Drake

Even though this is probably one of the most overplayed songs on the radio, I still can't help but dance when this song comes on.


8. "Bad Decisions" by Ariana Grande

Another one of my favorites from the "Dangerous Woman" album.


9. "Smoke Break" by Chance the Rapper

I usually don't care for Chance the Rapper, but this album certainly changed my mind, and I have a new appreciation for him. This is my favorite song from the album, "Coloring Book."

10. "Don't Hurt Yourself" by Beyoncé

I can't help myself, I seriously loved this album.

11. "Make Me" by Britney Spears

Britney Spears making a new song is probably the most exciting thing ever. The fact that someone I was obsessed with listening to when I was younger is still making music is amazing.

12. "Home" by Sebastian Kole

I love this man's voice. I don't think he is very well known, but I'm glad I was discovered Sebastian Kole.

13. "For Free" by DJ Khaled (featuring Drake)

This song is the new summer anthem. With a great beat, Drake, and of course the major key, DJ Khaled, this song is a hit.

14. "Needed Me" by Rihanna

This song is another one of those overplayed songs on the radio. I actually loved this song back when "ANTi" first came out, but I'm still not over it!

15. "Never Be Like You" (featuring Kai) by Flume

This song has become popular on the radio, and I found this song a while ago on SoundCloud, and feel in love.

16. "Nobody Love" by Tori Kelly

I love love love Tori Kelly. Her voice is amazingly powerful, and melodic, I just can't get enough. She is one of my favorite artists to sing along to, and I will always be obsessed with this song.

17. "Rise Up" by Andra Day

Andra Day is another artist that I love to sing along to. Her voice is powerful yet unique.

18. "This is What You Came For" (featuring Rihanna) by Calvin Harris

I've always been a fan of Calvin Harris, and now it's Rihanna and Calvin Harris combined?! I listen to this song almost everyday.

19. "Liquor" by Chris Brown

I definitely do miss the old Chris Brown, back to the times of "Run It" and "Forever," but I can honestly say I have loved this song for a long time.

20. "Sorry" by Beyoncé

And to top the list off, I have yet another Beyoncé song. There's just something about this song that gets me hyped up. It's just such a great song to dance to and not to mention it's fun to sing along to.

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
