25 Songs To Celebrate The End Of Summer

Summer break is wistfully coming to a close, and the upcoming academic term looms around the corner, confirming its unwelcome arrival through any means possible. The "back to school" section at Target has been up and running for at least a month, haunting people like me who simply want to buy groceries or check out the shoe sales. Brochures from Kohl's and Bed, Bath and Beyond have landed in hundreds of mailboxes to entice college students into buying items that will "spruce up" their dorm rooms. Many enthusiastic parents have swarmed the mall with their kids in tow for back-to-school shopping, as if everything they already own has gone out of style and is no longer acceptable for the next grade.

However, before summer slips from our clingy fingers, we want to treasure its fleeting moments by holding end-of-summer celebrations, whether they are in the form of a large house party, an intimate gathering, or a family BBQ. These celebrations provide a desperately needed sense of closure as students transition from reading for pleasure to reading for English class and from late nights partying to late nights studying. Such festivities often embrace an atmosphere of bliss, excitement and hints of nostalgia, an atmosphere reinforced by the type of music streaming through the speakers. Therefore, I have compiled an eclectic playlist of 25 songs that will be sure to generate those positive vibes and high spirits necessary for any end-of-summer celebration.

1. "Closer" by The Chainsmokers ft. Halsey

From the EDM duo that brought you the hit song "Don't Let Me Down" featuring Daya, "Closer" is their new release, this time spotlighting Halsey's angelic, sweet voice.

2. "Electric Love" by BØRNS

I recently saw "Nerve" and not only became obsessed with the movie but also its soundtrack, which includes this 2015 song by BØRNS and the next two songs I have listed by MØ and Melanie Martinez, respectively.

3. "Kamikaze" by MØ

4. "Soap" by Melanie Martinez

5. "Sit Still, Look Pretty" by Daya

6. "Cheap Thrills" by Sia

7. "Hurt Me" by Låpsley

8. "Roman Holiday" by Halsey

9. "Tikka" by Scott Helman

10. "Marvin Gaye" by Charlie Puth ft. Meghan Trainor

11. "The Sound" by The 1975

12. "Best Fake Smile" by James Bay

13. "Holding On To You" by twenty one pilots

14. "Technicolour Beat" by Oh Wonder

15. "4AM" by HUNTAR

16. "Cold Water" by Major Lazer ft. Justin Bieber and MØ

17. "Heathens" by twenty one pilots

18. "California" by Grimes

19. "Water Under the Bridge" by Adele

20. "A Sky Full Of Stars" by Coldplay

21. "End of the World" by Hunter Hunted

22. "Chocolate" by The 1975

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.

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.
