11 Songs That Should Be On Your Summer Playlist
Huffington Post

Road trips are one of the best parts of any vacation, in my opinion. My favorite part of taking road trips with friends is creating our playlist that we'll belt out on the open road, without hesitation.

So whether it's for a road trip or just a playlist you'll keep with you to belt out in the car when you're having a bad day, here's a list of my 11 top favorite songs to belt out in the car on any given day, and you should put on your playlist:

1. "Hello" - Adele

While it's not the most upbeat song, it's a pretty fun one to belt out no matter how well you can sing.

2. "N***as in Paris" - Jay Z and Kanye West

While some people can't rap like Jay Z or Yeezy, at least trying is fun. My favorite part of this song is listening intently to the ridiculous lyrics.

3. "Work" - Rihanna

There's only like 10 words in this song, which makes it easy to sing along, plus it's just a fun upbeat song, whether you like Rihanna or not.

4. "Perfect" - One Direction

One Direction just wasn't the same after Zayn betrayed us all and left the group, but their post-Zayn songs are actually pretty good. This one, like "Hello," isn't super upbeat, but sometimes the ballads are the best ones to belt out.

5. "Pillow Talk" - Zayn

Speaking of Zayn, while most Directioners can't get over the fact that he blindsided us all and left One Direction, you have to admit he sounds pretty good solo.

6. "My House" - Flo Rida

The perfect party song! It's a really good song to get you pumped for anything!

7. "Cake By The Ocean" - DNCE

If you can get past the fact that the Jonas Brothers all went their separate ways and Joe created this band, it's a pretty good song. Sure, it's an acquired taste in regards to sound, but either way, it's a silly song, to say the least.

8. "Lemonade" - Beyoncé (just the whole album, because Beyoncé is queen)

Beyoncé, need I say more?

9. "Countdown" - Beyoncé

This is hands down my favorite Beyonce song. Sure, it's one of her older songs, but will you ever forget the words?

10. "Fergalicious" - Fergie

I think all girls know this song as their middle school go-to song that they requested at school dances. You'll never be able to forget the lyrics to this song due to the fact that you constantly had it on repeat growing up.

11. "Get Low" - Lil Jon

Another middle school go-to song at the dances, but you have to admit it will always be a classic. No matter what, this song will always get you pumped up.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
