My Summer 2k16 Mixtape

Summer isn't summer if you don't have some killer tunes to jam out to! So I conjured up a list of some of my favorites this summer.

Summer is all about rolling the windows down, cranking up the radio and just embracing the warm weather. These are the perfect moments to lose our voices from singing along to the music at the top of our lungs as we're heading off to the beach for a perfect day of relaxation. Music plays a major role in anyone's summer. Whether you're in the car, at the beach, out at the pool or at a cookout, no summer event is complete without music.

I know for me personally, my summer tends to fill up with concert after concert, which I love! Who wouldn't want to spend countless summer nights with friends listening to music live and having a blast?! Concerts will forever be one of my favorite parts of my summers. Whether it's seeing Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean to Taylor Swift, Nick Jonas and Demi Lovato or even going to the Vans Warped Tour or the much anticipated Blink 182 tour (which I've been waiting for for eons!), I've been to many and I wouldn't trade it for the world. (And because some of these are concerts I've been to this summer, be prepared to see some of these artists filling up my playlist).

Now, I know everyone out there has some sort of playlist that they've got going on with their perfect summer go-tos and songs specifically for Summer 2016. I know I sure do, so I figured I might as well grace the world with my own personal Summer 2k16 Playlist (or Mixtape as the cool kids may call it).

(P.S. Yes, there will in fact be country music on this playlist because summer is all about country!)

#Summer2k16

1. "The Middle" - Jimmy Eat World

Of course, there will be some songs that should be on everyone's summer playlist every single year. This is one of my favorite songs of all time and will forever be a part of my summer playlists no matter what.

2. "Ocean Avenue" - Yellowcard

Same goes for this one. Everyone knows it. Everyone listens to it. And everyone should have it on their summer playlists. No questions asked. But wait, one question: Is it even summer without a little Yellowcard? No. So add it to your playlist ASAP.

As you can tell, I have a very very diverse music taste, and I'm totally OK with it. I love a good country song but also a good alternative song where I can feel a bit edgy. Summer is all about being adventurous and just having fun, so we should all to try to listen to some new music, share some new findings with our friends and make memories.

Music is powerful. It makes us feel alive and happy. So get out there, crank up the tunes and bust a move.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
