We just can't get enough of these songs.

Summer Jams, 2016 Version

We all know that you are jamming to the same popular song everyone else is listening to also. Even if you try avoiding the pop hits, somehow, you find yourself humming along with it. Every summer, the same thing happens, and you end up joining the crowd, listening to songs that become part of your summer. Your own summer playlist could consist of many songs, but the most well know and popular summer hits as of now include the following.

1. "One Dance" - Drake

Definitely named and applauded as the song of the summer, at any time of the day, in any mood, this song can cheer you up no matter what. It was an instant hit from the release of this song, and not long after Drake’s hit, more singles continue to inspire our summer mornings, days, and of course nights too. Even after summer is over, I'm sure we will all be coming back to this song as if it was brand new.

2. "This Is What You Came For" - Calvin Harris ft. Rihanna

It's the classic DJ dance song for nights when you need some uplifting. Of course, with the addition of Rihanna, we seem to love the song even more. Great beats and better vibes -- this song is the classic night going out jam.

3. "Controlla" - Drake

This song is in the running with Drake’s "One Dance" for summer hit spot No. 1. Being released soon after "One Dance," this song is just as good and popular. With a great beat and relatable lyrics, this song is always on the hit playlist for your car and basically on whenever you can play it.

4. "Don't Mind" - Kent Jones

This is an up-and-coming hot summer song, another song that is constantly playing on the radio this summer. Kent Jones is rising in popularity with his new hit and easily getting recognition.

5. "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)" - Adele

The ultimate summer love song. Another song to play at any time of the day, a great mood booster. Adele wows us again with an album that still produces hits. This song is easily one of Adele's top hits.

6. "Sorry" - Beyoncé

What's a summer without a great Beyoncé song? You could compare this song with Drake's top hits, because it easily is one of the best summer songs yet.

Of course, there are more songs that constantly pop up on our radar that are included in our summer jams, and this list only makes up a small portion of that category.

Let's hope that this isn't the end of summer jams for this summer. There's still plenty of time left for a few more hits. Whether it's Drake, Beyoncé or a new artist completely, we are ready for whatever is coming. We will wait for whatever is released. Keep them coming, Summer '16!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

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.
