10 Songs To Add To Your Ultimate Summer Playlist

These songs are ones that I belt out in the car with my windows down as I cruise down the street with friends, family, or even by myself. Plus, what better way to remember summer than through music?

1. I Think We're Alone Now- Tiffany

I know what you're thinking... "Cassie, this song is from the '80s..." BUT this song is one that can get all of my friends singing and dancing around the car (or room) no matter what. I mean c'mon how can you resist jamming out to a song with a synthesizer?

2. Talk- Khalid, Disclosure

Another synthesizer song... big surprise. But seriously, Khalid's voice in this song is the perfect encapsulation of summer vibes. Try and listen to this song without smiling and getting into a good mood, I dare you.

3. Sucker- Jonas Brothers

The comeback we ALL needed. This song is bound to turn into the ultimate carpool karaoke song as you drive down the street with your friends. Don't forget the air guitar!

4. Before I Let Go- Beyoncé

I'm a HUGE fan of marching bands so I had to include this song, plus it's not really an iconic playlist if the Queen Bee doesn't make the cut. But in all seriousness, this song goes SO hard and the fact that it's a live performance makes it even better.

5. Baby- Clean Bandit, MARINA, Luis Fonsi

Pop, reggae, electronic dance, and salsa... just a few of the musical genres these three amazing artists manage to fit into a song that only lasts 3 minutes and 25 seconds. This song will make you feel like you're dancing on the beach in a tropical island and honestly, what's better than that?

6. If I Can't Have You- Shawn Mendes

1) Shawn Mendes is the KING of summer jams

2) My sister would kill me if he didn't make this list

7. Summer Days- Martin Garrix, Macklemore, Fall Out Boy

The guitar riffs in this song are absolutely insane and may or may not be the reason my car speaker's blow out. Also, the word "summer" is in the song so...

8. Hey Julie- KYLE, Lil Yachty

I don't know who Julie is but apparently she has the drip.

9. Sunflower- Post Malone, Swae Lee

Every time this song comes on I find myself dancing like a New Balance tennis shoe wearing dad at the neighborhood barbecue. In other words, this song is the epitome of good vibes and that's what summer is all about.

10. Body- Loud Luxury, Brando

For when you and your friends wanna feel like the great YouTubers of our generation. Who has the vlog camera??

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.

2. “Tonight, we are young.”

3. “Cuz I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it.”

4. “Tell me how they got that pretty little face on that pretty little frame.”

15. “Let’s set each other’s lonely nights, Be each other’s paradise.”

16. “Trippin’ on skies, sippin’ waterfalls."

17. “Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days.”

18. “But you will remember me for centuries.”

19. “Something about you makes me feel like a dangerous woman."

20. “Don’t act like it’s a bad thing to fall in love with me.”

21. “Darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.”

22. “Find me where the wild things are.”

23. “I’m high on lovin’ you.”

24. “If you’re gonna be somebody’s heartbreak, somebody’s mistake, if you’re gonna be somebody’s first time, somebody’s last time, be mine.”

25. “Don’t be afraid to take the road less traveled on.”

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

2. "It's a town full of losers/ I'm pulling out of here to win" (Thunder Road)

3. "You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above" (Tunnel of Love)

4. "I got something in my heart/ I been waitin' to give/ I got a life I wanna start/ One I been waitin' to live" (Leah)

5. “God have mercy on the man/ Who doubts what he’s sure of” (Brilliant Disguise)

7. “Is a dream a lie when it don’t come true, or is it something worse?” (The River)

With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
