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!

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

Honorary Roommate

Rachel Zadeits

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
