We must appreciate throwbacks when the sun is out.

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 ______ ___

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
