I like to roll the windows down and turn up the radio on most days but after hearing the same ten songs over and over again, I like to mix it up a little bit.

Here's the perfect punk playlist to blast while driving to the beach with your friends that will have you chucking all your stress and responsibilities from the school year out the window and onto the turnpike.

1. "Dizzy on the Comedown" - Turnover​

With Austin Getz's light and airy voice, Turnover will transport you to your own little dreamland that will have you calmly swaying back and forth getting you into the ultimate chill beach day attitude. This tune is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face, even if you are sitting in beach day traffic.

2. "Parking Lots" - Light Years

You haven't heard a band like this since Blink 182 was in their prime. This band and this song leave you wanting more and more. Thankfully they have three albums on Spotify you'll want to jam to after listening to this hit.

3. "No Blood, No Foul" - With the Punches

Early 2000s pop punk comes back to haunt you with this track that leaves you wanting to spend all night out driving and laughing with your best friends parking somewhere sweet to watch the sunrise overheard.

4. "Second to Right" - Transit

A song about love and letting go and getting lost up in the starry night sky.

5. "Live Together, Die Alone" - Keep Flying

To keep it simple, Keep Flying is sick. This song focuses on letting go of what once was to make room for bigger and better things to come.

6. "Lula on the Beach" - Seaway

Canadian band Seaway put out their LP "Vacation" fall 2017, and I was so disappointed, not because the album is bad (it was my album of the year in 2017!!!), but because the whole thing could have been my summer anthem if it had only come out four months earlier!

7. "Heart Tattoo" - Joyce Manor

This tune will have you reminiscing about all of the awesome summer nights of the past and leave you filled with joy and anticipation for all the new summer memories that are soon to be made.

8. "Grand Finale" - The Front Bottoms

If you're like me, you'll have this song on repeat and still never become tired of it. If you happen to see a girl screaming these lyrics out of her sunroof on the Garden State Parkway, there's a 110% chance that it's me.

9. "Timberwolves At New Jersey" - Taking Back Sunday

Let's be real here, guys, it was never a competition between TBS and Brand New because TBS was always the best. Blast this and finger point at your windshield along with the best band the pop punk scene has ever seen.

10. "Work in Progress" - Set Your Goals

Summer is all about bettering yourself, right? The better body, the better attitude, the better bank account. Yeah we know, it's hard to actually achieve any of these goals. But the ending to this playlist ties all of these songs and all of your goals and feelings together. It's a helpful reminder to keep your head on straight and to just take it all one day at a time.


There are plenty more tunes that didn't make this list but that doesn't mean you shouldn't get out there and keep on searching. Meanwhile, you can find me out there on the Parkway stuck in Jersey traffic jamming out to these songs and so many more. After all the summer time just wouldn't be complete without the ultimate playlist.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
