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.

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.
