All different genres from country to top 40 have one thing in common; they all love a good summer jam. A good summer jam should have melodies and lyrics that describe the way people feel when they are with friends, at the beach or just soaking up the sun. Personally, a summer jam makes me want to dance or go on a road trip with a bunch of friends. No matter how you spend your summer, there should definitely be a song on your playlist that makes your happiness radiate and just have good vibes all around. Without further ado, here are my recommendations for what songs need to be on your summer playlist:

In My Feelings by Drake

Drake returned this summer with a brand new album and this song is taking over the world with the new dance craze challenge called the #InMyFeelingsChallenge or #DoTheShiggy. This song will sure be blasting in everyone's car stereo.

X by Nicky Jam & J Balvin

Everyone needs a little latin flavor in their playlist to spice up the summer. Jam and Balvin worked together to make sure that this song would be played globally and enjoyed by millions as it has over 300 million streams on Spotify. Go Latinos!

Youngblood by 5 Seconds Of Summer

5SOS is back and better than ever. With a new tour coming up soon and the new album breaking records, we sure do have a lot of anthems from the boys to listen to this summer.

One Kiss by Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa

This EDM bop is the perfect homage to 90's dance music. One Kiss is a song that everyone can enjoy, no matter what age or type of music you prefer.

Bed by Nicki Minaj (featuring Ariana Grande)

With Ariana & Nicki making major comebacks back into music this year, this collab was bound to be a huge hit. This song is different than what both woman usually sing but it is a risk that definitely paid off.

Focus by Charli XCX

Sure, Charli's type of music is basically unconventional pop but it sure fits the summer mood. The electric beats and simple lyrics will be sure to be stuck in your head.

Love Lies by Khalid & Normani

After the Fifth Harmony hiatus started, Normani was first to impress with her first solo song with teen pop wave superstar Khalid. This track is super romantic and definitely a great R&B bop for sitting around the campfire.

High Horse by Kacey Musgraves

Country isn't everyone's thing but Musgraves really shaped a new and modern version of country while including fun elements of pop music. It's interesting and refreshing for the country scene.

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.
