11 Songs To Put On Your Playlist For The Summer

Ah yes — the time has come of bathing suites, fruity cocktails and sweet, sweet sunshine. Those memorable summer nights are paired well with great music. Here is a list of songs that not only inspires individuals but also triggers wondrous memories.


1. Lana Del Rey - "West Coast"


Well, to be completely honest, all seasons become better with Lana Del Rey. Her mesmerizing, mystic, antique voice can bring chills to most.

2. J.Rabbit - "Tequila! Remix"

This song pairs well with, you guessed it, tequila! But if you're not a margarita and salt kind of person, this song is just as all around great song to get down to.

3. Sublime - "Badfish"


Bradley Nowell and his sweet pup are the definition of nice beach music. Everyone can sing a long will swaying to, really, any of their songs.

4. Flume feat. Kai - "Never Be Like You"

This song has been on repeat on my playlist! After a hard day's work laying out, this song goes great with a glass of wine and relaxing.

5. 311 - "Beautiful Disaster"


When I was younger, 311 was the epitome of Summer. Their yearly tour was always a go to for many of all ages. 311's older music doesn't seem to ever get old.

6. Damian Marley - "Welcome to Jamrock"


You can't ever go wrong with Bob Marley. And with that said, you can't go wrong with Marley's son, Damian Marley, either. A song about opening your eyes to what's happening in Jamaica. Quite the story telling song with quite a good vibe.

7. Passafire - "Kilo"


Passafire, a band from Savannah, Georgia, sends out positive vibes — a great mix for a day of just being calm and one. A band that definitely let you unwind with an amazing bass line.

8. Modest Mouse - "Ocean Breathes Salty"


There is not a single bad thing I can say about Modest Mouse — I absolutely love this band. Their songs are so unique along with the videos. This band is great for those long road trips.

9. Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Can't Stop"


Another band that never gets old and everyone knows and everyone can sing all lyrics to. And if you ever get the chance to see them live, do so — you won't regret it. Classic.

10. Arctic Monkeys - "When The Sun Goes Down"

Personally, Arctic Monkeys is one of my most favorite bands ever. Likewise to the rest of this list, there really isn't a bad time to play Arctic Monkeys. Alex Turner's voice is pure gold.

11. Snoop Dogg - "Lodi Dodi"


Maybe it's Long Beach in mind. Maybe it's him going on tour with 311 and Slightly Stoopid. Maybe it's Snoop Lion. But Snoop Dogg always reminds me of summer. Old school rap is always great to listen to.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
