In honor of my beach vacation with the amazing girls in my Girl Scout troop this week, I have compiled a list of 15 songs for any 2016 summer beach trips. These are some of the songs that I have been enjoying on the radio lately, and some of them are ones that the kids at my summer camp insisted should be included in my current top songs list. I hope you guys enjoy my picks!!

15. "Stone Cold" by Demi Lovato.

I decided to begin with two songs from an artist, whose voice I absolutely adore: Demi Lovato. Both of these songs are not exactly from this year, but I like them. It is my list, and I can include some throwbacks. "Stone Cold" is just hauntingly beautiful, and I can picture myself now belting out the high notes watching the waves come in and out.

14. "Heart Attack" by Demi Lovato.

This is my second Demi song, and it's just so catchy it had to be included in my list for this summer beach trip.

13. "Bad Blood" by Taylor Swift ft. Kendrick Lamar.

Next, I thought I would check and see what was on the charts this time last year. Last summer, these next four songs were very popular. Even today, I don't think anyone will be upset that I've brought these four songs back for this summer. To start with, "Bad Blood" is a great jam, and it will be perfect for the car ride.

12. "Cheerleader" by OMI.

I thought that Cheerleader was catchy last summer, and that opinion still holds. I will definitely enjoy dancing to this song.

11. �"Shut Up and Dance" by Walk the Moon.

I rocked out to this song with the kids at my summer camp last summer, and I had to bring it along for this beach trip.

10. "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran.

My last throwback is this amazing Ed Sheeran song. Let's face it. Like the soul of the one you love, this song will never grow old.

9. "Stitches" by Shawn Mendes.

I guess that this song could be considered a throwback, but it still gets played on the radio all the time. Therefore, I will be counting it as 2016 summer favorite. It's just so catchy; you can't help but love Shawn's 17-year-old voice.

8. "Wherever I Go" by One Republic.

I've really been enjoying hearing this new One Republic song on the radio. I think it has the perfect tempo and melody to be a great beach song.

7. "No" by Meghan Trainor.

This is one of the songs that my summer camp kids are absolutely obsessed with. They love Meghan Trainor, and they adore this song. Some of my third grade girls have even performed the rap for me. I think this song will be great for the car ride and on the beach.

6. "Unsteady" by X Ambassadors.


I have definitely enjoyed hearing this hauntingly beautiful song on the radio, but I didn't know the artist until I began researching for this article. I really enjoy this tune, and I think it will be great for lounging on the beach.

5. "Let It Go" by James Bay.


This is another romantic and pretty song that I'm really enjoying at the moment. I think this song will also be wonderful for singing while lying on the beach or at the pool.

4. "Lost Boy" by Ruth B.

This is another song that all of the kids at summer camp love! Every time it comes on the radio while we are in the bus, we have to turn it all the way up so that everyone can sing along. I really love Ruth B.'s voice in this song, and I think it is a perfect addition to this list.

3. "Send My Love" (To Your New Lover) by Adele.


This new Adele song is very upbeat and catchy, and it seems to be a new and interesting style for her. I think this one will be perfect for all of us to sing along with on the beach.

2. "7 Years" by Lukas Graham.


This song seems to be on the radio every time I turn it on. It is very catchy, and it gets stuck in my head so easily. It has been popular for a little while now (just ask the kids at summer camp who know every word), so I think we will all definitely be able to sing along to this one.

1. "Can't Stop the Feeling" by Justin Timberlake.

My number one song for this 2016 beach trip is this incredible new song by Justin Timberlake. It is so fun, and all of the kids at camp heartily approve of this song. It'll be great for us to dance to, sing with, and just jam out to on our beach trip.

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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
