Songs of Summer

They'll always take me back.

Songs of Summer
Madalaina D'Angelo

If you're like me, summer is your most anticipated and favorite time of year (aside from the holidays) and its filled to the brim with endless laughs and memories and vacation and friends. Even work can be a good time in the summer months. My friends and I always pick a song of summer, a song we hear on country radio that makes us want to jam and also captures the feeling of being down the shore. Our summer soundtrack consists of country music, and isn't the beauty and power of music that one song can make you remember and take you back immediately to a certain place, a specific time, and make you miss everything it brings up.

I'm not happy summer is coming to a close, even a little bit-- it seems to go by faster every year, and every time I get in my car and put my music on shuffle and hear one of these songs, I get a little teary eyed, a lot sentimental, and then I start to blast it. Here are my songs of summer that no matter where or when I am when I hear them, never fail to take me back to the sun, surf, and shenanigans of summer in Sea Isle (and wherever your Sea Isle is, I've hope you've had a great a summer as mine)!

1) American Kids, Kenny Chesney


2) Saltwater Gospel, Eli Young Band

3) Real Life, Jake Owen

4) Snapback, Old Dominion

5) Leave the Night On, Sam Hunt

6) Everybody Dies Young, Jake Owen

7) John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16, Keith Urban

8) House Party, Sam Hunt

9) Talladega, Eric Church

10) All Summer Long, Kid Rock

11) Raised On It, Sam Hunt

12) Barefoot Blue Jean Night, Jake Owen

13) Vacation, Thomas Rhett

I recommend adding them to your playlist if you're a country fan. And if not, give them a listen -- its nice to remember summer in the dead of winter!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
