12 Jams That Embody 'Summer 16'
drake

Music is incredibly important. It is heard in every country around the world, and helps people self-express as well as exchange cultural identity. Music can make you feel happy or sad, and some songs even exude a seasonal vibe. This summer, 2016, there are some songs that absolutely need to be on your playlist.

One Dance - Drake

Not much to say here, this song is everything important right now.

No Money - Galantis

This song really resonates with the youth because most of us have "no money". It's a feel good song for a solid beach day, even if you're at work 6 out of 7 days a week.


This is What You Came For - Rihanna & Calvin Harris

A mix of Rihanna's voice of an angel and Calvin Harris' djing skills that some might describe as "lit". This song is in fact what I came for.


Spaceships - AREA21

This song is a prefect mix of some hard rap and edm. 10/10 would recommend


Cheap Thrills - Sia

Another song that truly resonates with me. "I love cheap thrills"!!


How To Love - Cash Cash, Sofia Reyes

Such a feel-good EDM piece. Are you driving around in a convertible on any coast line? This is the song for you


Sit Still, Look Pretty - Daya

This song exudes confidence and and a good attitude. Are you taking the LSAT and really need to ace it? Going to work or getting swamped by summer classes? This song will give you the boost to push through.


Summer on You - Sam Feldt, Lucas & Steve feat. Wulf

"We were in love with the sun" did I write these lyrics myself?? If when you extended family asks about your relationship status you're answer is "I like the beach" then this song is for you.


Fast Car - Jonas Blue feat. Dakota

DO NOT FORGET THAT THIS IS ORIGINALLY A SONG BY TRACY CHAPMAN, But very nicely re-done in a summery fun mix.


Ride - Twenty One Pilots

I am no Twenty One Pilots fan, but this song is a necessity for a drive to the beach. It's kind of west coast and not too main stream, but with the catchiest beat.


The Ocean - Mike Perry, Shy Martin

This one is obviously for a beach day. It takes a bit to build up but is certifiably a "jam" once it gets in full swing.


Once in a While - Timeflies

Another completely unexpected jam, this time from Timeflies. Great addition to your summer playlist for an afternoon run or a day with friends.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in 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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
