5 Songs For Summer

Lovethispic

It's summertime! Finals are done and you are excited to go on a road trip with your friends or spend a day at the beach. There is always that "Song of the Summer." From 2013's "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke, 2014's "Fancy" by Iggy Azalea and 2015's "Cheerleader" by Omi, there is always a song that stays at the top of the charts all summer. With some help from Billboard and Itunes, here are some songs that you might want to add to your summer playlist. They might just be that next summer hit!

"Work from Home:" Fifth Harmony ft Ty Dolla $ign

This song is currently number six on Billboards Hot 100 and is steadily climbing. It is a catchy song. I catch myself listening to it everytime it comes on the radio and I skip over songs to find it on my Spotify playlists.

"Cake by the Ocean:" DNCE

DNCE's first single. This song has been on the Billboard charts for the past 27 weeks. It still is getting as many plays on the radio as when it first came out. Besides, we get to relive our JoBro crushes from middle school since Joe Jonas is the lead singer.

"America's Sweetheart:" Elle King

Not currently on Billboard's hot 100, but this song is currently getting radio plays. This was Elle King's follow up single to "Ex's and Oh's." With it's folk and pop feel it is a catchy song and is sure to get stuck in your head.

"New Romantics:" Taylor Swift

While not high on Billboard's Hot 100, New Romantics is another catchy Taylor Swift song. It currently sits in the 48th spot, but this song is sure to climb. The last line of the chorus is, "The best people in life are free." So, grab your best friends and dance the night away!

"Don't Let Me Down:" The Chainsmokers ft. Daya

Currently sitting in the 14th spot on Billboard's hot 100, it is slowly climbing it's way to the top. It is a great song to dance to. It's a must have on your summer playlist.

These are just five songs that should be on your summer playlist. It is only May, the big song of the summer might not even be released yet. Keep your ears open, and you will find it. Have a great summer and enjoy the music.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.
