15 Songs For Your Summer Roadtrip

P.C. Richard & Son Blog

Let's all collectively take a deep breath and appreciate the fact that it is finally SUMMER. Nothing celebrates this freedom quite like a roadtrip with good friends, but for full effect, you're going to need an incredible playlist. I've got your sing-alongs, your shameless pop songs, some throwbacks, a Drake track (duh), and more all with a hint of teen angst and some needed positivty.

1. Mr . Brightside - The Killers

Let's start this playlist off right. Kick out anyone that doesn't scream along, they can not be trusted.

2. Fat Lip - Sum 41

Keep the energy up, just keep your hands on the wheel unless you have cruise control.

3. Perfect - One Direction

A not so guilty pleasure. Embrace it.

4. Secrets - State Champs

Pop-punk is still very much a thing by the way. If this is news to you, it's good news. I promise, just listen to this song.

5. Motorcycle Drive By - Third Eye Blind

Okay I HAD to throw in at least one romantic / emotional powerhouse number...or two, stay tuned.

6. The Sound - The 1975

Remember that song Chocolate that become bittersweet with radio overplay? Well that band is phenomenal, channel your inner 80s vibe and get groovin'.

7. DONTTRUSTME - 3OH!3

More like don't trust me with the aux cord because I have no boundaries, apparently.

8. Na Na Na - My Chemical Romance

"The future is bulletproof The aftermath is secondary It's time to do it now and do it loud Killjoys Make some noise" *hits gas* RIP My Chemical Romance.

9. Forever - Drake

Quickly assign everyone with you a person: Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Eminem and of course Drake. Now get ready to go in.

10. but not often, - Microwave

New music isn't scary I promise! Also this band is so rock n roll, so turn up the speakers and enjoy.

11. Your Graduation - Modern Baseball

If you don't know this song, pull up the lyrics on your phone and get ready to get rid of all the anger you have towards your last crush. They probably suck. Also if you loved the first song (The Killers) I expect MoBo to be your new favorite band.

12. We Are Young - fun.

Somehow this song becomes a little less annoying in the summer, or maybe not, but hey, it fits.

13. Dammit - blink-182

Get out your air instruments and pretend you know what you're doing because this one is a JAM!

14. Inside Out - Eve 6

Please tell me you remember this song?!

15. The Great Escape - Boys Like Girls

I can't think of a better song to end on. This is the ultimate roadtrip song off of the ultimate summer album. "THROW IT AWAY, FORGET YESTERDAY, WE'LL MAKE THE GREAT ESCAPE!!"

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
