When the warm weather approaches us some songs seem more ubiquitous than others, and the only to celebrate these songs would be breaking out your speaker, getting your beach chair ready, and a few twisted teas, because how else do you celebrate summer? Here are my top summer anthems that make you feel nostalgic and forget about everyday troubles.

1. "Dani California" by Red Hot Chili Peppers

I first heard this song when I was 11 and have heard it blasting at Barbeques every summer since.

2. "Summertime" by Fresh Prince & DJ Jazzy Jeff

Fresh Prince gave us this summer classic that makes me want to sit on a beach somewhere in Miami with a spiked smoothie in my hand.

3. "Miami" by Will Smith

Speaking of the Fresh Prince and Miami, this song takes next place on the list. This was actually my summer anthem the summer I first turned 21. The '90s club vibes make this song more refreshing than the other choices on this list.

4. "No Scrubs" by TLC

This wouldn't be a completed playlist without the ultimate song fit for karaoke on a road trip with your closest friends.

5. "Island in the Sun" by Weezer

Honestly, this song was going to be my number one on the list due to the fact that it literally makes me want to move to Austria and join Aquamarine in her journey.

6. "I Took A Pill In Ibiza" by Mike Posner

This is one of the most refreshing songs on this playlist. It has more of a sad vibe than the rest but it's still enough to get the club going.

7. "Smooth" by Santana ft Rob Thomas


I often find myself listening to this when I'm at a bar that has cover bands playing that evening.

8. "Santeria" by Sublime

If you have never seen the vine of riff-raff singing this, then you won't understand why this is number one on this list.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
