Here's some of the songs I've been listening to throughout this summer. I tried to compile a variety of music genres on this list, so hopefully you can find something you would add to your own playlist!

10. One Kiss - Calvin Harris ft. Dua Lipa

This is one of the songs I can't seem to stop playing in my car this summer. This track by Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa has been extremely popular in the UK, charting at number 1, and has started to become really popular here in the US. Out of all the songs on this list, this one sounds the most like summertime to me.

9. Up All Night - Beck

Beck's 'Up All Night' is an upbeat banger that you can run or just hang out and listen to. If you are unfamiliar with Beck, he won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year back in 2015 for his album 'Morning Phase', beating out Beyonce and receiving harsh criticism from the always opinionated and outspoken Kanye West. His music is definitely worth a listen, and 'Up All Night' is one of my favorite songs by him.

8. Guru - Coast Modern

This song by Coast Modern will take you to the beach during your morning commute. The relatively new duo, formed in 2015, have a full-length album full of songs with a sound as unique as this one. The visuals that accompany the song in the music video are also really cool.

7. Chun-Li - Nicki Minaj

The Queen of Rap is back this summer with a highly anticipated new album, aptly titled 'Queen', which is set to be released in August, and has a slew of new music out already. Her new single 'Chun-Li' is a lot different than what we have heard from her before, and sounds super badass.

6. Campfire - Amine ft. Injury Reserve

Amine has to be one of the most underrated rappers of today. He consistently puts out great songs with interesting lyrics and a fresh sound. His latest release, 'Campfire', is no exception and has been on repeat on my playlist throughout the summer.

5. Small Foreign Faction - Haley Blais

Haley Blais is a newer artist who recently released her second EP, titled 'Let Yourself Go'. Originally I found Haley through her hilarious Youtube channel, where she posts vlogs and ramblings that document her daily life in addition to her music. I encourage you to check both out, because neither disappoint.

4. Sit Next to Me - Foster the People

Most people know Foster the People for their signature song 'Pumped Up Kicks' from their 2011 album 'Torches'. 'Sit Next to Me' is another hit produced by the band that sounds like a soundtrack to the summertime. If you like the song 'Pumped Up Kicks', theres no doubt that you will enjoy this song.

3. Done for Me - Charlie Puth ft. Kehlani

I love this new song by Charlie Puth and Kehlani, and the retro 70's style video makes it 10 times better. The back-and-forth nature of the song between the duo is fun to listen to, with both harboring impressive vocals.

2. Say Amen (Saturday Night) - Panic! At the Disco

Panic! At the Disco is back this summer with a new album, titled 'Pray for the Wicked', which debuted at #1 on the US Billboard 200 chart, becoming the band's second #1 album in the country. 'Say Amen' is bound to become your summer anthem, a song anyone can belt along with

1. New Light - John Mayer

John Mayer has always been one of the artists I listen to the most, and his new song 'New Light' is another tune I can add to my favorites by him. The song diverges a lot from his other works or anything else out today, as does the video. Mayer claims that after being frustrated with budgeting problems for the video, he decided to make it himself. What resulted is a goofy almost 4 minutes of stock footage and corny transitions... and people are loving every second.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
