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've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
