Now that it's August, it doesn't mean summer is over quite yet. Many colleges don't start classes for another three or four weeks! Don't worry, I won't talk about school any more in this article. Whether you're working, traveling, or lounging by a pool, these are some songs from various genres you should be listening to right now!

1. "Don't Let Me Down" by The Chainsmokers feat. Daya.

This song is perfect for driving with the windows down because it's upbeat and catchy.

2. "Ride" by Twenty One Pilots.

Another catchy song. I think this one is perfect for hanging out with friends because who doesn't love Twenty One Pilots?

3. "Lush Life" by Zara Larsson.

This song is perfect for an evening get-together with friends. It even talks about summer!

4. "Cheap Thrills" by Sia.

Since this has been many people's summer anthem, I had to include it here.

5. "ILYSB - STRIPPED" by LANY.

This is the perfect summer chill song. I love this stripped version!

6. "Spirits" by The Strumbellas.

I have been listening to this song on repeat recently. I first heard it on the ALT Nation Sirius XM station, but I have a feeling this song will be everywhere before the end of summer.

7. "YOUTH" by Troye Sivan.

This song is perfect for singing along in the car!

8. "Lover Come Back" by City And Colour.

This is another song I've been listening to on repeat this summer. Although it came out in 2015, I hadn't heard it until this summer. It's a great chill song. I can just imagine someone with a guitar performing an acoustic version around a campfire.

9. "From The Ground Up" by Dan + Shay.

This is the perfect song to play for that very special someone. The lyrics tell a beautiful story of a couple's journey through life. I could see this song being played at a beautiful summer wedding.

10. "Wasn't That Drunk" by Josh Abbott Band feat. Carly Pearce.

This is a country song that's growing more popular. It's really catchy and a great song to jam to when driving around on a summer evening.

11. "Castaway" by Zac Brown Band.

I couldn't think of a better song to listen to while laying out by the pool or in a warm summery place. This upbeat country song is perfect for all those country vibes you want to soak up.

12. "All These Things That I've Done" by The Killers.

Ever since I saw The Killers at Bunbury Music Festival, this song has been on my summer playlist. Although the song was released in 2004, I still think it's a perfect for a playlist in 2016. This is another great song to sing along to during an evening get-together with friends.

13. "On My Mind" by Ellie Goulding.

Like the previous song, this one is also great for evening festivities with friends.

14. "Rollercoaster" by Bleachers.

Rollercoaster is about a summer romance and it's catchy, which makes it perfect for your summer playlist.

15. "Said No One Ever" by Jana Kramer.

It's a great song if you like girl-power songs and it's also super catchy!

Bonus: Jana Kramer will be performing in the Dayton area on August 14th!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
