The sun beats down on my bare shoulders as my convertible zooms down the desolate highway. My boyfriend is behind the wheel, grinning. Summer is about great memories, great people, and, for me, crippling fear that my car is going to break down. In three days, I will be racing across the country on a 26-hour road trip to my dad's house.

I have compiled a playlist of 50 songs for my enjoyment, a mixture that spans almost all genres, and I thought I'd share it with you. Warning: You do not have to be on a cross-country road trip to enjoy these songs. They are good songs and can be enjoyed everywhere.
