Finally. The infamous crazy Ohio winter is now over and the weather is steady and warm. We can now all rejoice in the fact that we no longer will freeze into human popsicles. It's also the best time of the year to go outside, restock on that good old vitamin D and appreciate nature. A great accompaniment to relaxing outside after months of being prisoners to the inside is music. Here are some great songs to listen to for just relaxing and enjoying the newly warm outside:

"Finally Moving" - Pretty Lights

If you're looking for a song that is great for any kind of warm day, look no further than this song from the album Taking Up Your Precious Time released back in 2006. Its soothing electronic beats and sound are perfect for both chilling out at home and on a cruise in the car.

"Gun Shy" - Widowspeak

This song by the Brooklyn-based indie rock duo is really just a mellow track. The melody is very relaxing and the soothing nature of it creates a fantastic ambiance combined with the fresh air.

"Here Comes The Sun" - The Beatles

Classic rock never ceases to make people feel good. The Beatles were notorious for making not only songs with deep material and significance, but also for their happy and relaxing songs. "Here Comes The Sun" discusses the end of the cold winter and the welcoming of the warm weather. It is featured on Abbey Road, one of the most popular albums in rock and roll history. The album was released in 1969.

"Doin' Time" - Sublime

The three-musician group from Long Beach, California, released their third self-titled album featuring "Doin' Time" July 30, 1996. The first line of lyrics is "Summertime and the living's easy." There's your anticipation for a chill, warm summer right there!

"Mr. Blue Sky" - Electric Light Orchestra

The pop-rock band released "Mr. Blue Sky" to the United States in June of 1978. Award winning radio broadcaster Dominic King said about the song, "It was dark and misty for 2 weeks, and I didn't come up with a thing. Suddenly the sun shone and it was, 'Wow, look at those beautiful Alps.' I wrote Mr. Blue Sky and 13 other songs in the next 2 weeks." The song has been featured in many feature films including Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Game Plan.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.
