Summer is coming and do you know what that means? That means it's time to drive with all your windows down, your sunroof open if you have one, your music blasting, and just relaxing! So, when you think about driving with your jams bumping and your hair flying in the wind - what songs come to mind? Oh no, you have to make the perfect playlist! Well, no fear! You can find 50 perfect songs to put on your playlist this summer! Both old and new songs, this playlist will DEFINITELY have you jamming out in the car!

1. "Hollaback Girl," Gwen Stefani

All the girls stomp your feet like this! This jam is a must for any summer-fun playlist! Released in 2005 as a diss track towards Courtney Love calling Gwen a a cheerleader type, Gwen definitely proves she's definitely the leader of the pack - and so are you!


2. "Me Too," Meghan Trainor

What's a good summer playlist without a song about really loving yourself? Well, Meghan Trainor has the one for you! With her new released song, "Me Too," Trainor will have you waking up thanking God everyday you woke up listening to this bumping jam that's sure to get stuck in your head.

3. "4 Minutes," Madonna ft. Justin Timberlake and Timbaland

Definitely a jam this will get you energized. I would definitely recommend you play this song 4 minutes before you have to be somewhere, it makes you feel like you're on some secret mission to save the world.

4. "Fergalicious," Fergie ft. Will.I.Am

Fergalicious, definition: Make your playlist go LOCO. Though we love the Black Eyed Peas, the few songs Fergie released by herself were KILLER - Fergalicious being one of them and will turn any playlist from "mehh" to epic.


5. "Jesus Freak," DC Talk

It's not every song where you can mix "a man with a tat on his big fat belly" and Jesus...this song is definitely one of kind and definitely needs to make its way to your playlist!

6. "I Wanna Dance With Somebody," Whitney Houston

Can you truly have a playlist with the queen of catchy songs? The answer is no.

7. "Work From Home," Fifth Harmony

Whether you're always on the night shift, actually working from home, or unemployed... this song will DEFINITELY make you feel like the boss of awesome tunes.

8. "Rock With You" Michael Jackson

Let that rhythm get into you, there ain't nothing that you can do. But really...you're going to want to ROCK to this amazing song by the King of Pop.

9. "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)," Adele

I'm sure some of you were wondering "was Adele going to make this list?" And the answer was YUP. You can't have a playlist without the QUEEN. Unlike most of her slow, heartbreak ballads - Send My Love is more fast-paced, though still about a break-up, it'll definitely have you jamming even if you didn't just break up with someone.

10. "Dangerous Woman," Ariana Grande

AMAZING song by Ariana that is a must have for all good playlists this summer. The song is a recent chart topper, so it'd be a surprise if it hasn't already found its way to your summer playlist!

11. "Single Ladies," Beyoncé

I don't care if I'm not a single lady, I always jam hard to this song when it comes on - and so should you! Whether you're single, taken, a lady, or a man ~ just jam!

12. "Since U Been Gone," Kelly Clarkson

And all you'd ever hear me say...is how you need to put on your playlist, yeah that's all you'd ever hear me say.

13. "I'm With You," Avril Lavigne

Any Avril throwback jam is a good jam - though I always recommend the cover of the song by The Voice winner, Cassadee Pope; she puts on little twists on the notes and it's flawless.

14. "Ignition (Remix)," R. Kelly

We all know this great jam, so why wouldn't you want it on your playlist? ESPECIALLY if it can pump you up for the freakin' weekend baby, cause you're about to have you some fun.

15. "This Is Gospel," Panic! At the Disco

If you love me, DON'T let this one go from your playlist!

16. "The Sweet Escape," Gwen Stefani ft. Akon

If you don't have this throwback jam on your playlist, you'll be acting like sour milk all on the floor, it's your fault, you didn't shut the refrigerator. Maybe that's the reason you'll be acting so cold.

17. "Bohemian Rhapsody," Queen

I'm sparing my life from the monstrosity of the idea that people DON'T have this classic on their playlists.

18. "This Is How We Do It," Montell Jordan

Arguably one of the best r&b songs to come out of the 90's.

19. "Dessert," Dawin

I'm addicted like it's wrong to this song - will DEFINITELY make you wanna dance in your seat.

20. "I Don't Wanna Dance," Hey Monday

Great if you're looking for a throwback!

21. "I'm Alright," Phil Vassar

Another throwback jam that is GUARANTEED to put you in a good mood!

22. "Die Young," Kesha

This up-beat jam will make you wanna dance around, which is perfect for a summer playlist.

23. "Fighter," Christina Aguilera

This is especially a must have for anyone who feels scorned by a former lover!

24. "Dog Days Are Over," Florence + The Machine

The school days are - the dog days are over! This upbeat song is a NEED for your playlist!

25. "Crazy Youngsters," Ester Dean

This song is definitely make your playlist pitch perfect!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
