A soundtrack for the mid 2010s

I used my own personal favorites and the charts to compile this “playlist" so to speak. I hope these songs bring back memories and a smile to your face.


1. "Adorn" by Miguel

2. "Pop That" by French Montana 

3. "Mercy" by Kanye West

Kanye West solidified himself as one of the best producers with this song. The beat change on his verse is spectacular, to say the least.

4. "Bandz a Make Her Dance" by Juicy J

5. "Girl on Fire" by Alicia Keys

6. "Thinkin’ Bout You" by Frank Ocean

You played this when your crush sat next to someone else on the bus.

7. "Gangnam Style" by Psy

3.67 BILLION views on YouTube, enough said.

8. "Starships" by Nicki Minaj 

9. "Royals" by Lorde

10. "Stay" by Rihanna

11. "Started From the Bottom" by Drake

Even with people saying “He was on Degrassi! He never struggled! He didn’t come from the bottom!” Drake still topped charts with this song.

12. "Wake Up" by Avicii

13. "Summertime Sadness" by Lana Del Rey 

The moody beat, the low vocals, what more can you ask for on a Lana song?

14. "Love Me" by Lil’ Wayne

This is a great addition to the long list of perfection that is a Lil Wayne and Drake song.

15. "F**ckin Problems" by A$AP Rocky

With verses from Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and 2 Chain; this song had me whispering the f-bomb in my room while it was playing on my iPod.

16. "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons

Imagine Dragons started their ascension to the top of the alt rock charts with this song.

17. "Rico Story" by Speaker Knockerz (RIP)

Proof that new school “mumble rappers” can tell stories.

18. "Fancy" by Iggy Azalea 

This introduced American listeners to “the thunder from down under” that was Iggy Azalea.

19. "Rude" by MAGIC!

20. "Bang Bang" by Jessie J

The remix? The original? Whichever you prefer, Jessie J did not come here to play when she made this song.

21. "Turn Down for What" by DJ Snake

I still have no idea what Lil Jon says before the beat drops.

22. "Take Me to Church" by Hozier 

All the discussions over this song’s, and its music video’s, meaning.

23. "Drunk in Love" by Beyoncé 

Cigars on ice? Surfboard? Beyoncé had me on urban dictionary at a young age.

24. "Latch" by Disclosure 

25. "Antidote" by Travis Scott

Two rules:
1. Don’t you open up that window.
2. Don’t you let out that antidote.

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.
