10 Songs For Your Ultimate Summer Playlist
theodysseyonline

I find that the perfect playlist does not exist and that it often changes with the times and the mood of the listener. But there comes a time when the current playlist is just perfect and it is an everyday necessity.

Every summer brings on new music and new musical discovery. As a music junkie, I tend to discover new promising music throughout the year, but I find that the summer brings the opportunity to find even more.

As the summer comes to a close, I found that there have been a few songs that have managed to stay on my Spotify playlist for the past few months and they deserve to be applauded.

Before the list starts there are a few honorable mention artists that deserve their praise, including James Bay, Coldplay and Foy Vance. All who remain on the same playlist, but way too many of their songs are on there to just include one on the list.

1. "Hell of a Girl" by Grace

Most people know this girl from her song with G-Eazy and her remake of "You Don't Own Me." Her debut album dropped a few weeks ago and I found this tune completely addicting.

2. "How Not To" by Dan + Shay

Although country music can sometimes get a bad rep, I find it is perfect for the summer.

3. "Happiness" by NEEDTOBREATHE

I found this song a while back and added to my playlist and, to be honest, it has not left and it has been one of my absolute favorites. It's upbeat and inspirational with a unique rock sound!

4. "Something Real" by Blackbear

5. "Turn It Up" by The Wrecks

All I have to say, is check theese guys out!

6. "Horns" by Bryce Fox

7. "Ophelia" by The Lumineers

Even though I consider the Lumineers' album "Cleopatra" completely amazing, one song has remained on one playlist for the past few months. "Ophelia" is heartfelt and somewhat catchy, and as one of the band's first singles off of "Cleopatra," it really set the bar high for the rest of the album.

8. "Superstitious" by MKTO

9. "Change of Heart" by The 1975

10. "Doubt" by Twenty One Pilots


Now that summer is almost over, a new playlist will soon be created and new music will be released.

I find that music is perfect to express whatever. It is basically a soundtrack to your life, so make sure when you make a playlist or when you find a song, it can reflect your life, because maybe one day someone will look back and see it as a story.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
