If you are like me, then it is hard for you to get out of bed in the morning. It is also hard for you to get out of your room. I think it is also safe to say that it is hard to leave your house as a whole. I have spent my previous summers taking shelter in my air conditioned room and clinging to my laptop. To that I say, "Enough! That ends here and now!" Summer is all about going out and having the time of your life and going on new adventures. As exciting as it all sounds, it is still rather difficult to make that first step of actually getting up and going. Sometimes, all you need is a little motivation. Here are my top 10 songs to help get you motivated to go out and make the most of your summer!
1. Campfire - Satellite Stories
Grab your best buddies and go camping! This song is catchy and uplifting and will have you packing up your backpack in no time. Grab a sleeping bag and ingredients for some s'mores and you're all set. Happy camping!
2. Sunshine - Tigerweather
If you're looking for a song to give you hardcore happy vibes then look no further. When I listen to this song, I immediately have the sudden urge to get up and go for a walk at the park or around the lake. Pop in some earbuds and play this little diddy to get you springing on your feet. Take in the fresh air and go explore the neighborhood!
