For some Summer is just around the corner, and for others, Summer has already arrived. Mine and many others' favorite thing to do in the summertime is to drive around town with my besties, blaring our favorite songs, with all of the car windows down. Here are 15 more than blare-worthy songs that will get you and your besties super excited for summer!

1. "Capital Letters" By Hailee Steinfeld & Bloodpop

Famous for being from the soundtrack of the popular movie Fifty Shades Freed, this song is a crowd favorite. One of my favorite sayings is, “Live today in all caps," and when I hear this song I want to do just that. What exactly does this mean you may ask? Well, I interpret it as just living life to the fullest, which is a must during the summertime

2. "Freaky Friday" By Lil Dicky feat. Chris Brown

We all know the Sunday scaries are real, so we can't forget about those freaky Fridays. A comical song (I mean what by Lil Dicky isn't funny) they are sure to include many satirical lyrics that playoff both Chris Brown and Lil Dicky's pasts.

3. "Friends" By Anne-Marie & Marshmello

This song is crucial to play for that boy you're looking to friend zone this summer. A catchy beat and it literally spells out for them that you want to be just friends, so you don't have to. How much easier can it get!?

4. "Home With You" By Madison Beer

Another important song to play for that boy you just are not vibing with. All you have to tell them is to make sure they actually listen to the words, and they'll get the memo.

5. "The Middle" By Zedd, Marren Morris & Grey

Commonly liked by many, fans were shocked when Marren Morris was chosen to be the main vocalist for this song. She is mostly known to be more of a country singer, but her vocal quality mixed with the EDM beat makes for a killer pop hit.

6. "I Wanna Know" By NOTD feat. Bea Miller

Recently released and considered to be an electro-pop song, this song is basically about getting replaced and wondering if the new girl compares to what the other relationship was like. Infectiously catchy, it melds the fun beat with Miller's hypnotic vocals.

7. "God's Plan" By Drake

Name one song by Drake that isn't a hit... I'll wait. Also, name one person who hasn't heard this song, I can guarantee it's not possible. Screaming song lyrics is crucial for summer and if you don't scream the lyrics

"she said do you love me, I tell her only partly. I only love my bed and my momma, I'm sorry,"

then well yeah, you're lame I'm sorry.

8. "Mistakes" By Tove Styrke

Let's be honest, summer is the time to make mistakes and this song encourages the heck out of it.If you are wondering if you should do something risky, put this song on repeat and then just go for it.

9. "Mine" By Bazzi

Aw! For those of you out there who have significant others then this a cute relationship song. For those of you who do not have significant others (like myself) just pretend Bazzi is singing about/to you! Trust me, it works like a charm and feels very realistic.

10. "Never Be the Same" By Camilla Cabello

This pop song is about what falling in love sounds like, and how it can at times happen very quickly. It's both reckless and intoxicating and like many songwriters stems from her real experiences.

11. "Your Side of the Bed" By Loote

The dynamic New York-based duo Loote makes it very apparent they have replaced an ex in this song. Considered a celebratory song about moving on, if you're going through a breakup this song perfectly captures the feelings you go through. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

12. "Nice For What" By Drake

Drake is back at it again! Another recently released song put this on and you'll just want to dance. Making his music video a salute to numerous boss ladies in the world, the song itself is super empowering making it a game changer.

13. "Body" By Loud Luxury feat. Brando

With more of a catchy deep house vibe, this summer inspired tune keeps a chill pace and has a unique drop. The vocal of the drop has been chopped, but in a natural and elegant way only making the song better.

14. "Stay" By Post Malone

Beerbongs & Bentley's!! It is about time. Stay focuses on Post's struggle to keep a relationship together, and questions the entire nature of a relationship. With more of a slower tempo compared to his other tracks, this is for sure a soothing bop.

15. "You're Not Missing Me" By Chelsea Cutler

This song is vulnerability in a nutshell. Sometimes when we try to enter into relationships, we over analyze and second guess every little thing. This song celebrates our insecurities, and validates the fact that we are doing the best that we can.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
