Best Songs For Summer 2016

With summer already started or starting for most students, it's time for a playlist update. During May, there are always new songs released that could possibly be the song of the summer. Whether you're traveling the world, lounging at the beach or commuting to an internship, these songs will no doubt remind you of this summer when you listen to them later on in the year. Mostly dance tracks and feel good songs, summer songs should be upbeat for long car rides and endless partying. Below are just a few of those songs in no particular order.

"This Is What You Came For," Calvin Harris, Rihanna.

Between Calvin Harris's DJ skills and Rihanna's amazing voice this is no doubt one of the best songs to be released this past month.

"One Dance," Drake.

While almost all of the songs on Views are somewhat sad and soulful, this song is more upbeat- reminding you of the song that gets you back on the dance floor even though you should be heading home.

"Needed Me," Rihanna.

This is definitely a good year for Rihanna and she's never afraid to show off. This badass song is a car anthem.

"Say It," Flume ft. Tove Lo.

A late night song with Tove Lo's soothing voice and Flume enchanting rhythm.

"Raging," Kygo (ft. Kodaline).

Unlike the title, this song isn't really for raging but the unlikely collaboration of a tropical house DJ and an indie band seems to fit perfectly.

"Kill the Lights," Alex Newell, Jess Glynne (Audien Remix).

Two amazing singers prove to be better than one on this track. If this doesn't make you want to dance, nothing will.

"How to Love," Cash Cash.


Cash Cash brings a different style than their normal tracks with clear influence from tropical and deep house. Like rosé, it was made for warm weather.

"Can't Stop The Feeling," Justin Timberlake.

After a three year hiatus this Justin also decided to make a comeback and it won't disappoint,

"Into the Sunset," Mako.

One of those tracks about feeling invincible, which is what summer break is all about.

"No Money," Galantis.


Galantis wants to remind every college kid of their current finances with a really good beat.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
