How I get myself to feel motivated and have great background music for a party with friends or a solo dance party in the shower (try it, you'll thank me).

11 Songs I Can't Stop Listening To This Summer
Hanny Naibaho

To me, music makes everything better - parties, studying, hanging out, showering, working out, cooking, literally everything. Sometimes I run out of new songs to listen to because I listen to so much daily, so I thought I would share some of my recent summer favorites and hopefully some will make it onto your playlist.

1. "Rise" By Jonas Blue feat. Jack & Jack

One of my best friends sent me this song and I loved it right after I heard it (shoutout to Priscilla). It is super upbeat and has a happy, carefree tone that's perfect for waking up in the morning or a little energy.

2. "Cross My Mind" By A R I Z O N A

I love this artist, they're definitely worth looking into and they don't have a single bad song. "Cross My Mind" is perfect for summer, when you're missing all your friends from school or thinking of that special person when you're apart.

3. "'Til It's Over" By Anderson .Paak

This song has a perfect blend of calm and energy. It provides a great few minutes in your morning, on the way to the gym, or while hanging out.

4. "Feel It" By GTA & "What So Not" feat. Tunji Ige

Getting a little more into the EDM section, this song makes me feel motivated and is great for background music at a party with your friends or your solo dance party in the shower (try it, you'll thank me).

5. "Like I Do" By David Guetta, Martin Garrix, & Brooks

Without a doubt, one of my favorite working out songs. If you like this one, check out more David Guetta and Martin Garrix.

6. "Without You" By Avicii feat. Sandro Cavazza

This song makes me want to cry but dance and scream the words all at the same time. Rest in peace Avicii.

7. "OTW" By Khalid, 6LACK, & Ty Dolla $ign

A much more calm song, with amazing vocals by Khalid. Such a perfect one for taking a bath or a calm day.

8. "Answerphone" By Banx & Ranx, & Ella Eyre feat. Yxing Bane

"Answerphone" offers a jam with some energy. The artist provides a smooth voice backed by a fun background.

9. "Vertigo" By DOLF & Yellow Claw feat. Caroline Pennell

Yellow Claw has recently been one of the artists I've been keeping an eye on. The DJs never fail to create upbeat music, perfect for parties or providing energy.

10. "Pretender" By Steve Aoki feat. Lil Yachty & AJR

When I listen to this I feel so much energy. This one is a personal favorite to play in the car while I'm on my way to something fun. Steve Aoki and AJR each have so many fun songs.

11. "no tears left to cry" By Ariana Grande

Ariana's voice is always amazing, but in this song, she tones the high notes back a little and picks up the motivation and gives it to the listener.

This short list of songs has been some of my favorites to listen to over and over recently. Music is perfect to always have to play, so why not try out some of my favorites and see if that playlist you always play will have some new additions.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
