Summer may be well underway for all my college peeps, but for high schoolers, the party's just begun. For every road trip, cookout, picnic, pool party, bonfire, and the like - you're going to need some summer tunes! Here are 15 of my favorite songs for your summertime playlist to perfectly accompany those hot summer months:

1. "Dirty Little Secret" by All-American Rejects

While this may be a pretty old song, it's always been a bop! The beat is sweet and the lyrics speak of a secret romance. What more could a girl want during summertime?!

2. "Twist Shake Shout" by Best of Friends

3. "Electric Love" by BORNS

This is the perfect song for a road trip. Play it when you're just leaving the house or when everyone seems to need a little pep in their step after the first 3 hours!

4. "Love Like This" by Kodaline

PERFECT for summer loving!

5. "March: Hills to Climb" by Tim Myers

6. "Portland, Maine" by Donovan Woods

I honestly have to give credit for finding this song to Spotify alone. One of my favorite shows also has some of the best folk music, so I created a playlist for it. After Spotify runs through the playlist on your queue, the app starts playing random songs that sound like the previous playlist. That's what happened when I stumbled upon this song! It's the perfect tune for the more quiet moments of your summer.

7. "It's Tricky" by Run-D.M.C.

While this is another oldie, it's sure to make you smile! The rhymes are just so fun and the style is awesome!

8. "Sugar, We're Going Down" by Fall Out Boy

9. "Hawk Eyes" by The Kicks

10. "Drift" by Forty Foot Echo

This is one of those fast-paced songs that'll make you want to speed down a long, narrow road. Without the speeding, it's a great bop to jam out to. I could even picture it at the start of a bonfire, when all the guests are still arriving.

11. "Kiss Me Darlin'" by Twin Forks

If you've ever seen the second Step Up movie, there's a scene where the main characters are at a cookout and there's a DJ there. Instead of the tango that they end up performing, this song would be cute for a slow dance under the lawn lights.

12. "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls

13. "From Now On" by The Features

14. "Sister Rosetta" by the Noisettes

The 2011 version that's in "Breaking Dawn: Part 1" is so much fun to dance around to!

15. "The Antidote" by St. Vincent

And there's 15 songs to add to your summer playlist!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
