5 Underrated songs to get you summer ready

Now, I know I'm not the only one who's tired of listening to the same ten songs replaying on the radio. Or, someone who keeps skipping songs on Spotify or Apple Music just to find the right song for the right mood. Thankfully, I have managed to put together a list of songs by underrated artists to get you pumped up for the summer!

1. "I can't focus when you're with me, I can't sleep when I'm alone" - Nightly, XO

This is a favorite of mine! I discovered this band while listening to my local Nash FM radio station when they debuted this song. It gives out a chill vibe, but at the same time, makes you want to get up and dance no matter where you are.

2. "For every kiss, you sent through the air I'd be rich, or love, be a billionaire" - Nobody, Todrick Hall feat. Jade Novah & Cynthia Ervio

A solid BOP! Plus, the music video is the cutest thing ever. It has a great representation of LGBT+ people of color. Todrick Hall is literally God sent! He started out on YouTube with the debut of Disney Dudez and all those cool flashmobs you see. But, the past 2 months he gifted us with his new album called 'Forbidden' and Nobody is seriously the most innocent song on this album to date.

3. "I cut my hands on the edge of the world, Holding on with all my might, Crawled to the depths to the diamonds and pearls, I made it to the other side" Silver Horizon - Trey Pearson

I picked this song specifically because of June being Pride Month. Trey Pearson (former Christian artist) came out a little over 2 years ago and has been on my LGBT+ playlist ever since! Trey is truly an inspiration to me and many other people of the LGBT+ community and the Christian world. Also, he recently came out with his first EP called 'Love Is Love' which is definitely worth the listen, especially if you're struggling with your faith and sexuality.

4. " Tired eyed kids playin' in a sprinkler, daddy drinkin' cold Bud Light" - American Spirit, Thomas Rhett

Thomas Rhett is my absolute go-to when I'm in the mood to listen to country and my summer SCREAMS country! American Spirit is an awesome song to have on a playlist when you decide to stay in with some friends, have a grill out around a bonfire. I also love to listen to this song on the 4th of July because it sets the theme big time.

5. "She don't care about my big screen, Or my collection of DVDs, Things like that just never mattered much to her" - Hey Leonardo (She Likes Me For Me), Blessed Union of Souls

One of my favorite 90s songs! Hey, Leonardo is the type of song you play at 9 pm on your way home from practice with your windows rolled down and volume up. Also, a great song to jam in the car to, either with friends or by yourself!


Check out all of these songs to get pumped for summer!

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.
