The Ultimate Summer Playlist

Summer; my personal favorite season! Summer means sunshine, lemonade, and driving with the top down! It means swimming pools, visiting family, and actually having some free time! The only thing better than the weather, in my opinion, is the music you play while going about all the best summer activities! I have done extensive research of my music library to select ten songs that I think set the mood for a fun summer. Enjoy!

1. Summer by Calvin Harris

This song manages to be chill and still gets me pumped up at the same time. It's perfect for whatever your pace may be this summer. That, and the fact that it's actually about summer!

2. Superbad by Jesse McCartney

A very catchy song that never fails to get my head bobbing, it's perfect to listen to while sunbathing or walking down the street! Just be sure you won't mind the funny looks you'll get dancing down the street listening to this song!

3. Backseat Driver (feat. Hollyn and TRU) by tobyMac

Another catchy song that's perfect for driving around with friends or on your own! It's also a reminder not to be a backseat driver! ;)

4. Live Easy by Colton Avery

My ABSOLUTE favorite lesser known artist on his way up, Colton Avery wrote the perfect song for the more laid back moments of summer. You won't be able to help but smile listening to it!

5. Carried Away by Passion Pit

Another song that's laid back and pumped up at the same time, it's perfect for anything that you might be doing this summer...it might even have you dancing!

6. Evil in the Night

This song is perfect for driving around by yourself this summer; it will undoubtedly bring out your inner rockstar and earn you some sideways glances from the car next to you, but jam on!

7. Like Woah by Aly and AJ

One of my all time favorite songs, this song is the perfect song for those lucky enough to have theme park adventures this summer! Go ride that rollercoaster!

8. Windows Down by Big Time Rush

I know, I know...why is some Nickelodeon boy band on this list? Give the song a listen! I've always wanted to blast this song driving around time with my friends...roll those windows down and play it!

9. Hurry Up and Save Me by Tiffany Giardina

This song is perfect for anything that needs a pumped up song! If you need a little motivation to do less-fun things like chores or working out, this is the song for you!

10. You're So True by Joseph Arthur

Another one of my all time favorite songs, it's another great song for laid back times you'll have this summer. Take a few deep breaths and let your mood match the melody!

Let me know what songs that you would add to the list and what you thought of mine, and don't forget to enjoy your summer, whatever you may be doing! :)

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.

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.
