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.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
