Best Summer 2016 Playlist

New Evolution Designs

It's the time of year we have all been waiting for, summertime! Personally, I am always ecstatic when break finally arrives. I spend my semesters in constant overdrive, running on little to no sleep and too much caffeine. Gone are the paper deadlines and stressful tests for now. The break won't last forever, though. Time to make the best of our summer while we have it.

Whether you are bored at your apartment or traveling or drinking a beer on the beach, these are some of the best tunes to add to your slammin' summer playlist. It's time to sit back, relax and enjoy some rock 'n roll, pop or country.

For those who enjoy the latest hits...

1. The Chainsmokers "Don't Let Me Down ft. Days"

I have always loved this group, and I particularly like this feature.

2. Fifth Harmony "Work from Home ft. Ty Dolla $ign"

What is working? (Actually, you should probably not take this song's advice.)

3. Mike Posner "I Took a Pill in Ibiza (Seeb Remix)"

I don't recommend taking a pill in Ibiza, or you'll end up wearing a weird mask.

4. Nick Jonas "Close ft. Tove Lo"

I never got into the Jonas Brothers, but, wow, how things have changed!

And for those who prefer country music...

5. Dierks Bentley "Somewhere on a Beach"

I wish I could be somewhere on a beach too, Dierks.

6. Dustin Lynch "Mind Reader"

I got to see him perform live about three years ago. He was super sweet!

7. Tim McGraw "Humble and Kind"

An old favorite of mine. The message in this song is so sweet.

8. Luke Bryan "Huntin', Fishin', and Lovin' Every Day"

Sounds like a pretty great life if you ask me!

Or for those who dig rock music...

9. Disturbed "The Sound of Silence"

I have to admit I was blown away. I thought only Simon & Garfunkel could ever do this song right.

10. blink-182 "Bored to Death"

Yes. So much yes. That is all.

11. Radiohead "Burn the Witch"

This song is a little strange (the video, too), but it is Radiohead. What else did you expect?

12. Foals "Mountain at My Gates"

This song has been a favorite of mine for a while. We will be playing it when we spot our first mountain on our road trip this summer.

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
