After this dreadful "spring", it's time to roll your windows down & turn your volume up in your car. Therefore I'm going to do you a favor and give you ten songs that always have & always will be bangers.

Disclaimer - There will be no J. Cole...at all.

1. Chance the Rapper - Good Ass Intro

A song I am willing to petition to be played throughout downtown Chicago on Saturdays mornings. When Chance says, "And we back, and we back" I feel that on a personal level. It's time to get back to your drunk alter ego & your non-remorseful degeneracy.

2. Bruno Mars (ft. Gucci Mane) - That's What I Like

This is the perfect song to play for that special guy or girl when they get in your car for that first summer ice cream date just for appreciation purposes. It's not strawberry champagne, but I'm sure she'll appreciate the strawberry milkshake from Andy's! Also, with Gucci Mane featuring it's the added "Brr!" needed on a hot, summer date.

3. Rihanna (ft. Drake) - Work

I know you don't need another reminder that you actually have to get up off your ass this summer and work but Rihanna's voice should be enough motivation to at least start the day. Honestly, I would recommend listening to this song in the mirror so you can attempt to bring out your inner Aubrey Graham and reassure yourself.

4. Frank Ocean - Sweet Life

Just read the title, play the song & tell me you don't want to live life just as freely as Frank. While the lyrics' meaning are a mystery, the beat in the song is so melodic it brings the purity to your summer debauchery.

5. R. Kelly - Ignition (Remix)

I will no longer tolerate anyone who disrespects this song when it's played at any function. If you don't immediately start singing along when he says "This the remix to Ignition, hot and fresh out the kitchen", you're either too busy chasing a drink or have terrible music taste.

6. Quavo, Chance the Rapper, Justin Bieber - I'm The One

While may Bieber Fever never lasted long, my appreciation for Quavo's ad-libs will never cease.

7. The Notorious B.I.G - Mo Money Mo Problems

The chorus of this song is Top 10 of all time. After listening to the song 4 times in a row, you'll find it very hard to resist screaming "THE MORE MONEY WE COME ACROSS, THE MORE PROBLEMS WE SEEEEEEE!" Even if your bank account says you already have enough problems as it is.

8. Lil Yachty - Priorities

Lil Boat had some bad news for you, me & all of our friends last summer and we're bringing his prophecy to summer 2k18:

Our priorities are ______ ___

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
