Here's some of the songs I've been listening to throughout this summer. I tried to compile a variety of music genres on this list, so hopefully you can find something you would add to your own playlist!

10. One Kiss - Calvin Harris ft. Dua Lipa

This is one of the songs I can't seem to stop playing in my car this summer. This track by Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa has been extremely popular in the UK, charting at number 1, and has started to become really popular here in the US. Out of all the songs on this list, this one sounds the most like summertime to me.

9. Up All Night - Beck

Beck's 'Up All Night' is an upbeat banger that you can run or just hang out and listen to. If you are unfamiliar with Beck, he won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year back in 2015 for his album 'Morning Phase', beating out Beyonce and receiving harsh criticism from the always opinionated and outspoken Kanye West. His music is definitely worth a listen, and 'Up All Night' is one of my favorite songs by him.

8. Guru - Coast Modern

This song by Coast Modern will take you to the beach during your morning commute. The relatively new duo, formed in 2015, have a full-length album full of songs with a sound as unique as this one. The visuals that accompany the song in the music video are also really cool.

7. Chun-Li - Nicki Minaj

The Queen of Rap is back this summer with a highly anticipated new album, aptly titled 'Queen', which is set to be released in August, and has a slew of new music out already. Her new single 'Chun-Li' is a lot different than what we have heard from her before, and sounds super badass.

6. Campfire - Amine ft. Injury Reserve

Amine has to be one of the most underrated rappers of today. He consistently puts out great songs with interesting lyrics and a fresh sound. His latest release, 'Campfire', is no exception and has been on repeat on my playlist throughout the summer.

5. Small Foreign Faction - Haley Blais

Haley Blais is a newer artist who recently released her second EP, titled 'Let Yourself Go'. Originally I found Haley through her hilarious Youtube channel, where she posts vlogs and ramblings that document her daily life in addition to her music. I encourage you to check both out, because neither disappoint.

4. Sit Next to Me - Foster the People

Most people know Foster the People for their signature song 'Pumped Up Kicks' from their 2011 album 'Torches'. 'Sit Next to Me' is another hit produced by the band that sounds like a soundtrack to the summertime. If you like the song 'Pumped Up Kicks', theres no doubt that you will enjoy this song.

3. Done for Me - Charlie Puth ft. Kehlani

I love this new song by Charlie Puth and Kehlani, and the retro 70's style video makes it 10 times better. The back-and-forth nature of the song between the duo is fun to listen to, with both harboring impressive vocals.

2. Say Amen (Saturday Night) - Panic! At the Disco

Panic! At the Disco is back this summer with a new album, titled 'Pray for the Wicked', which debuted at #1 on the US Billboard 200 chart, becoming the band's second #1 album in the country. 'Say Amen' is bound to become your summer anthem, a song anyone can belt along with

1. New Light - John Mayer

John Mayer has always been one of the artists I listen to the most, and his new song 'New Light' is another tune I can add to my favorites by him. The song diverges a lot from his other works or anything else out today, as does the video. Mayer claims that after being frustrated with budgeting problems for the video, he decided to make it himself. What resulted is a goofy almost 4 minutes of stock footage and corny transitions... and people are loving every second.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
