For the beach, adventuring, or just something to listen to.

The Perfect Summer Playlist
Favim

I have always been a music freak and creating playlists is just something that I love to do in my spare time. So I decided to share with you the PERFECT summer playlist for you people heading to the beaches, or going on adventures, or just want some fun upbeat music to listen too.


1. "Adventure" by Cheat Codes

This song is very upbeat, it’s one of those songs that’s perfect for listening too while relaxing at the beach or running to work on that “summer body.”


2. "Fast Car" (Jones Blue Ft. Dakota Remix – original song by Tracy Chapman)


I LOVE this song. It’s catchy and it’s the definition of summer. I’ll be honest, I’m a total sucker for the original song of it but hearing this version seriously brought back a true classic.

3. "Seeing Stars" by BORNS

I just started recently getting into BORNS and I have to admit, they have a perfect upbeat sound that you want to listen to with your windows down and sunglasses on, this song specifically.

4. "Freaks" by Timmy Trumpet ft. Savage


This was my song last summer, it was constantly on replay. No matter what, every time I played it I couldn't help but dance to it, constantly has a great vibe. And yet again, this song will be on repeat all summer.

5. "Polarize" by Twenty One Pilots

Of course I have to have a band that is from Columbus (aka where I live). If you haven't listened to Twenty One Pilots before, now is the perfect time! These two guys bring upbeat music with interesting lyrics. Their entire album Blurryface is great to listen to at any time of the day and any time of the year.

6. "Do or Die" by Flux Pavilion ft. Childish Gambino

A friend showed me this and at first, I was a little off about this song. However, I'm a sucker for Childish Gambino. After listening to it two more times, I started playing it non-stop. It has a catchy beat and it makes you want to get up and dance.

7. "Fix My Eyes" by For KINGS & COUNTRY

I just found this song a few weeks ago, and I couldn't even tell you how I came across it. Sometimes those just happen and to me they are blessings because now I found a song that I can put on my summer playlist. They kind of sound like American Authors, and if you've ever listened to them, you know that they have a generic pop sound. This song is good for relaxing on the beach, soaking in some Vitamin C.

8. "Cheap Sunglasses" by RAC


This song is the definition of summer. It's an usual beat, something I've never really heard before but it's catchy. I found this song awhile ago because it was the free song of the week on iTunes. This song actually was blasting in my headphones while I was hiking.

9. "All of Me" by Tanlines


I don't remember when I found this song but it's in a lot of movies. It's not that big, but if you've seen Endless Love that came out a few summers ago - you'll recognize in one of the scenes that it's this song! The perfect song for a pool party, or just casually lounging around outside getting some sun.

10. "The Sunshine of Your Youth" by Cheerleader


This song is a little bit slower. It's an Indie song that I found from an iTunes Song of the Week, just like "Cheap Sunglasses." I think this song is best for an end of the day, hang out with your friends. It's the perfect song to listen to with a campfire crackling in front of you, something to end the perfect day with.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
