This summer has been far from normal, but the one thing that I find is getting me through all of the ups and downs is music. The past few months have been full of amazing new music releases. Along with that, I have found myself shuffling back through some old playlists during all of my freetime. Here are ten of my go to songs, soundtracks, and artists this summer!

Summer Feelings by Lennon Stella featuring Charlie Puth
Blue Collar Boys by Luke Combs
Cigarettes on Patios by Baby Jake
Sour Patch Kids by Bryce Vine
Love Me Now by John Legend, and All Day Long by Chance the Rapper featuring John Legend
Juice Wrld Legends Never Die Album
Harry Styles Fine Line Album
Pop Smoke
Lil Uzi Eternal Atake Album
Khalid

Each of these songs, albums and artists are definitely worth adding to your playlists this summer for the best vibes no matter what you are doing. I find that music has the ability to calm me down and brighten my day despite the stress or uncertainty surrounding me. Some honorable mentions I want to mention outside of this list are Tongue Tied by Grouplove, a song I forgot about but that never gets old. Another must listen, for history or broadway nerds like myself, is the Hamilton album. This album has been so fun to get back into with the movie coming out on Disney Plus. One more honorable mention is the artist Meg the Stallion. My girlfriends and I have been blasting her music in the car every chance we get, without fail we always get out of the car in a better mood than we all got in.

I hope you listen to some of these songs and add them to your queue! Step out of your comfort zone with your music and listen to some new or maybe old songs, it is a fun way to express yourself and find some light during these times! Happy listening!

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

1689

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

6. When you have a perfectly planned out schedule, and one class ruins it.

7. Carefully moving things around to accommodate a different class/section.

8. Waking up at 6:00 a.m. for your enrollment time.

9. Concocting a new schedule at your enrollment time after your original plan gets changed.

10. Getting into a class and filling the last available seat.

11. When all of your classes finally go through.

12. Realizing that you forgot a class that was a pre-requisite for everything else.

When your capability of "adulting" is put to the test

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

"Nobody living in one of the most influential nations in the world should be worried about making ends meet."

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
