These are the songs I've been digging the past month.

Dancing Shoes- Cherub

I discovered this electro-indie duo last Fall with their single "Doses and Mimosas", and fell in love with them when I saw them live in the Spring. Their latest release, "Dancing Shoes" instantly became one of my favorited by them. A true bop.

Girls Like You- Maroon 5

Maroon 5. Need I say more? Since "Sunday Morning" and "She Will Be Loved", I've loved this group. Unpopular opinion: I'm not the biggest Cardi B fan, but I do like her feature on this song.

Sunflower Seeds- Bryce Vine

Sunflower seeds is a song from 2016, shown to me by my 14 year old brother. As soon as I heard the opening chorus, I was hooked. It's really just a feel good rap jam, and Vine's voice is so soothing.

Funeral- Lukas Graham

Funeral, another song from 2016 (a little late to the game with these last two) is a song my brother and sister have been playing around the house for about a year, and I finally hopped on the family band wagon. This pop/soul band gives you definite windows-down-wolume-up-screaming-the-lyrics vibes.

The Mountain- Dierks Bently

While this isn't my favorite song of this playlist, I can't resist Dierks Bently. In this song and his other recent single, "Woman, Amen" he seems to be experimenting with a new sound, and I'm excited to delve into his entire new album.

Reason To Drink- Cole Swindell

Another long-time favorite: Cole Swindell. This song honestly just makes me smile. Cole just makes you feel good. Check it out.

Back To You- Selena Gomez

"Took you like a shot, thought I could chase you with a cold evening, let a couple years water down how I'm feeling about you."

"I've got to convince myself I don't want it even though I do."

"You could break my heart in two, but when it heals it beats for you."

Just a couple of the lyrics that had me yelling "YESSSS girl" back at the radio the first time I heard this new Selena song.

Drunk Me- Mitchell Tenpenny

Mitchell Tenpenny is sn artist that's new to me, but this song has me quickly infatuated with him. The chorus says, "'Baby can you come over?' I always find those words at the bottom of a hundred proof," and I think that's something we've all felt.

Dig Your Roots- Florida Georgia Line

I've always had mixed feelings about Florida Georgia Line. Some of their songs I find myself singing along to, and some I find myself skipping every time, but this one I really like. It's just a beat you can jam and sing along to.

Dan + Shay- Dan + Shay

Previewed in my last playlist article, Dan + Shay's self titled album did nothing less than blow me away. I can't get enough of it. I would list my favorite songs, but I can't even pick. Please do yourself a favor and check it out.

These Days- Rudimental

Rounding out my June 2018 playlist is "These Days". I've been in love with Macklemore since middle school, so anything his name is on is worth listening to (for me). I had never heard of rudimental before my little brother showed me this song, but I really like their sound.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
