Songs of Summer

They'll always take me back.

Songs of Summer
Madalaina D'Angelo

If you're like me, summer is your most anticipated and favorite time of year (aside from the holidays) and its filled to the brim with endless laughs and memories and vacation and friends. Even work can be a good time in the summer months. My friends and I always pick a song of summer, a song we hear on country radio that makes us want to jam and also captures the feeling of being down the shore. Our summer soundtrack consists of country music, and isn't the beauty and power of music that one song can make you remember and take you back immediately to a certain place, a specific time, and make you miss everything it brings up.

I'm not happy summer is coming to a close, even a little bit-- it seems to go by faster every year, and every time I get in my car and put my music on shuffle and hear one of these songs, I get a little teary eyed, a lot sentimental, and then I start to blast it. Here are my songs of summer that no matter where or when I am when I hear them, never fail to take me back to the sun, surf, and shenanigans of summer in Sea Isle (and wherever your Sea Isle is, I've hope you've had a great a summer as mine)!

1) American Kids, Kenny Chesney


2) Saltwater Gospel, Eli Young Band

3) Real Life, Jake Owen

4) Snapback, Old Dominion

5) Leave the Night On, Sam Hunt

6) Everybody Dies Young, Jake Owen

7) John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16, Keith Urban

8) House Party, Sam Hunt

9) Talladega, Eric Church

10) All Summer Long, Kid Rock

11) Raised On It, Sam Hunt

12) Barefoot Blue Jean Night, Jake Owen

13) Vacation, Thomas Rhett

I recommend adding them to your playlist if you're a country fan. And if not, give them a listen -- its nice to remember summer in the dead of winter!

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
