It's summertime! Nothing but clear skies, sleepless nights hanging out with friends, and, of course, no schoolwork. What better use of your time than to make the most fire Summer 2016 playlist of the top songs of the summer?

1. Major Lazer - Cold Water (ft. Justin Bieber & MØ)

Although it hasn't been out for long, it's safe to say that this song will be a summer classic. Don't believe me? Just remember the last time Justin Bieber and Diplo (1/3 of Major Lazer) collaborated.

2. Snakehips - All My Friends (ft. Tinashe & Chance The Rapper)

A song that focuses on the negatives of the party lifestyle, but with an uptight beat that’ll still make you feel happy and relaxed.

3. D.R.A.M. - Broccoli (ft. Lil Yachty)

Both up-and-coming artists, D.R.A.M. and Lil Boat team up for this piano-heavy hit.

4. The Chainsmokers - Don't Let Me Down

The Chainsmokers are back with another summer hit after 2015’s Roses instantly became a classic. This time, they switched it up with a trap-heavy banger.

5. Desiigner - Panda

Everyone has a love/hate relationship with this song. You probably hear this song everyday, whether you choose to or not.

6. DJ Khaled - For Free (ft. Drake)

The first single from DJ Khaled's highly anticipated upcoming album, Major Key, the song quickly blew up towards the end of June as a "Summer anthem."

7. Chance The Rapper - No Problem (ft. 2 Chainz & Lil Wayne)

Chance has been a popular name this year since releasing his third mixtape Coloring Book. Continuing to be an independent and label-less artist, this song is a response to labels trying to pressure him to sign.

8. Calvin Harris - This Is What You Came For (ft. Rihanna)

Rihanna has been pretty busy this year by providing us with many gems from her recent album Anti as well as other features such as Famous by Kanye West. This happy-feeling house beat is sure to get you on your feet and feel yourself this summer.

9. DJ Snake - Middle (ft. Bipolar Sunshine)

DJ Snake back with yet another upbeat song to dance to throughout the summer. With melodic vocals provided by Bipolar Sunshine, this track will make any summer playlist lit.

10. Drake - One Dance

You have to had seen this one coming. I mean, who doesn't want to start dancing whenever this song comes on?

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
