A Playlist For Warm Weather
Isla Pearl

March is the beginning of warmer weather and a new season. Spring means new flowers, more colors, sunny skies, and spring in California means beach days are back. Here's a list of 10 songs that you may or may not have heard of for your next trip to the beach, lounging in the sun, or just getting ready for the day.

1. Kidnap Me by CRUISR

CRUISR is an indie-pop band based in Philadelphia, and this song will remind of you of good times. The upbeat yet chill nature of the song is perfect for when the sun is in your face and you're with people you love.

2. T-Shirt Weather by Circa Waves

"I can't sleep while the sun's awake." Whenever I think of warm weather, I think of this song. Not only is the title perfect for warm weather, the lyrics reminisce on the little things that define 't-shirt weather'. This song is definitely perfect for a dance party or driving to the beach or another spring/summer destination.

3. What Do I Know? by Ed Sheeran

This song is one of many new sounds from Sheeran's new album '÷'. Along with the famous voice and perfect harmonies, the relaxing tune about the power of music will free you from stress and anxiety for at least 3 minutes and 57 seconds.

4. Everything by Kaptan

"Keep your head up... Everything's gonna be alright." From downtown Nashville, Andrew de Torres encourages listeners that it really is all going to be okay with a happy shimmer. A perfect reminder for when you're running late or stuck in insane traffic.

5. Hey Lady by Stephen Day

A sweet, guitar-filled love song with an even sweeter voice. Like John Mayer, Day knows how to work the guitar and mix it with a little piano while swooning his love. If anything, this song will do nothing but make your morning a bit more cheerful.

6. Happy With Me by HOLYCHILD

Self-defined genre of "brat pop", Liz Nistico and Louie Diller bring the strong beats to indie-pop. Formed at George Washington University in 2012, the duo without a doubt encapsulate a young sound that all teens and college students can enjoy. This particular song was featured on the 'Me Before You' movie soundtrack.

7. Daft Pretty Boys by Bad Suns

Inspired by 1970-80's post-punk musicians like The Cure, Bad Suns' sound can even be enjoyed by anti-rock listeners. Daft Pretty Boys is perfect for your road trip playlist or if you need to wake up from a long night, this won't be nearly as obnoxious as your alarm clock.

8. Absolutely by Ra Ra Riot

For those days when the heat of the sun takes away your energy and you just want to do nothing. This song will half-support the idea of doing nothing, and half-get you pumped to keep going. The violin (played by Rebecca Zeller) adds a flair to the indie sound that most don't typically integrate.

9. With Love by Harbour

If catchy things are your catharsis, definitely give this one a listen. This song tells the story of a guy realizing he might be in love, and the feelings going through his mind. Without being cheesy, the pop/rock sound from Ohio will get you in the mood for a day in the sun or motivate you to keep on going on those rough days.

10. The Sound by The 1975

The fresh and cheery sounds from The 1975's pink sophomore album is perfect for a dance party. Whether you're dancing by yourself, in the car, or with friends, the beats and melody will have you tapping your foot or bobbing your head.

All these songs and artists bring different sounds that aren't typically played on the radio stations, so if you're tired of hearing the same five songs over and over again, try these songs out and enjoy the happy feels they bring.

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.

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.
