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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
