The 10 Songs I Discovered In May That You Need To Kick Off Your Summer Playlist

I'm a country girl at heart, and despite the "I hate country music" phase 13-year-old me went through, I always manage to find my way back. I enjoy the genre year 'round, but when summertime rolls in, I find it to be the only thing coming put of my car speakers. So, here are my top 10 songs of May 2018 to get you in the summer spirit.

All To Myself - Dan + Shay

Dan + Shay, who I've followed for a few years now, are killing it with their new singles. With their self-titled album set to release June 22, their latest songs have me feeling all sorts of emotions, and 'All To Myself' is no exception.

Heaven - Kane Brown

A perfect song to sing in the car to the one you love - or by yourself about that special someone that's not actually quite in the picture. I love this blend of country music and pop vibes.

New Light -John Mayer

This is the only non-country song to make my May 2018 playlist, but I can't resist some John Mayer. 'New Light' brings good vibes accompanied by John's beautiful voice. No complaints here!

Everything's Gonna Be Alright -David Lee Murphy & Kenny Chesney

While having one of the worst days I've had in a longtime, I was flipping through radio stations in my car. I think this song played about 4 times across 3 stations in the 30 minutes that I drove home that day. Maybe it was the radio station DJ's trying to promote a new song, but I think it was also a gentle pat on the back from the universe, telling me "Hang in there, everything's gonna be alright." Another feel great song for when your down in the dumps - or when you're looking to make a good day great.

Speechless - Dan + Shay

Another Dan + Shay hit, and definitely my most played song this month. Written about watching their brides walk down the aisle, this one will give you all the good feels. Bonus: the music video will make you cry.

Drunk Girl - Chris Janson

'Drunk Girl' is written from the perspective of the gentleman every girl wants to meet on a night they've had one two many. It's a sweet reminder that there is some good left in the world.

Drowns The Whiskey - Jason Aldean & Miranda Lambert

Jason Aldean is another long time favorite of mine that has been killing it lately. Written about a place most of us have been (hoping to drown out a memory with a bottle of liquor), this song is perfect to help you get over that breakup last month.

Get Along - Kenny Chesney

Kenny is pretty much the king of care-free-feel-good country music, and 'Get Along' is no exception. Similar to 'Everything's Gonna Be Alright', get along is a good reminder to keep, well, gettin' along.

For The First Time - Darius Rucker

Another feel good country jam (are we sensing a theme?), 'For The First Time' makes you wanna go out and let your hair down - yunno, live a little. I was raised on Darius Rucker and, for me, its fun to see an old favorite become a new favorite.

Hotel Key - Old Dominion

Rounding out my list is a song released in August 2017. Not sure how I overlooked it, but I'm glad I rediscovered it a year later. Another fun song that will have you feeling a little rebellious, but then again, summertime country music has a way of doing that.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
