Songs That Should Be On Your Summer Playlist

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!

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
