The floor of my bedroom no longer is visible as clothes and empty suitcases are scattered around the floor, this it can only mean one thing: The end of the school year and the beginning of summer. And the future is as endless as the clothes: bonfires, day trips to the shore, late night hammock talks, you name it, it's possible. But for all these shenanigans, you have to have a playlist. But not just any playlist that you can find on any top hits radio station or on someone's amateur playlist. I'm talking about a good old playlist. Don't get me wrong, you can never go wrong with some Chainsmokers or even some Taylor Swift, but sometimes you just need to go back to your embarrassing middle school days just for once. That's right, all your favorites from the 2000's or even before because why not reminisce just a little? So next time you're sitting by the fire with marshmallow fluff dripping down your lip, throw on this playlist...you're welcome.

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
