15 Songs You Need To Add To Your Summer Playlist Right Now

In This Article:

I think it's safe to say that in the summer, there is just a certain type of music that becomes prevalent in all of our playlists. You want something that you can bop to at the beach, in the car (hopefully on the way to the beach, let's be honest), or at that family cookout you're bound to be dragged to whether you like it or not. Maybe you'll get lucky and they'll put you on DJ post.

Just in case, I've done some research into some sick songs that are floating around out there right now. I've found all kinds of songs from many different genres, because hey, we're not all interested in the same thing. One thing I have tried to do though, is find music that the average Joe might not necessarily be familiar with.

We all have our own taste in music, and while I think a lot of us enjoy what's popular and what plays on the radio, sometimes it can be fun to step outside of that comfort zone and check out something knew. This is how I've managed to find most of my favorite songs; venturing into my music-unknown.

Keep reading for an awesome list of songs that will impress your friends and your beautiful brain (trust me, you'll love these tunes).

1. Bloom by Trove Sivan

Let us not forget to talk about how incredible this music video is. I mean, wow.

2. Better not by Louis The Child ft. Wafia

One of the best electronic beats I've heard in a while.

3. Cigarette by RAYE, Mabel, Stefflon Don

WHAT A BOP.

4. Familiar by Liam Payne & J Balvin

Liam is really stepping up his game. This is one of my favorite songs right now, 100%.

5. Dura by Daddy Yankee

I've always loved Daddy Yankee.

6. Beachin' by Jake Owen

7. Banjo by Rascal Flatts

I just saw them in concert. What a good time.

8. Summer Nights by Rascal Flatts

I couldn't not include this.

9. Summer Bummer by Lana Del Ray

10. Tip Toe by Jason Derulo ft. French Montana

11. Got It Bad by LEISURE

If you haven't heard of LEISURE yet, it's time that you do.

12. Motion by Emotional Oranges

13. Ball For Me by Post Malone ft Nicki Minaj

Can we just talk about how much everyone is loving Post Malone right now? What an icon. Love you, Posty.

14. ILYSB by LANY

15. In My Head by Shawn Mendez

The entirety of this album is phenomenal

Hopefully you've found some new songs that you're interested in and want to add to your summer playlist! There are definitely some good songs on here (in my humble opinion). Remember to occasionally step outside of your comfort zone when it comes to listening to music because you never know what new stuff you will find!

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.

"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.
