IT'S SUMMER Y'ALL AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!

SUMMER. TIME. JAMS.

The following list is just some of my personal favorite songs that, for me, scream summer.

1. "Summertime" - DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince

Speaking of songs that literally scream "summertime", this song is all about summer and it radiates '90s vibes. This is a song that is perfect for any and all car rides you embark on this summer. (And every summer after.)

2. "Summertime" - New Kids On The Block

Did I just put two songs with the same name on this list? Yes. Right next to each other? Also, yes. And it's a song by a boy band? Oh, HELL yes. This song is about a summer love and it's really a bop that everyone can enjoy this summer.

3. "Angel (feat. Rayvon)" - Shaggy

Not entitled "Summertime", this song — like most Shaggy songs — has a very summery and tropical vibe. Plus, in this song, you can understand most of the words Shaggy says.

4. "Raspberry Beret" - Prince

A fun song about many firsts sang by one of the greatest artists of all time, "Raspberry Beret" is great for any summer situation or any situation in general.

5. "Laid" - James

A personal favorite of mine, this song is about a struggling relationship that is heavily based on sex. Beyond that, it's fun, catchy, and will be stuck in your head for hours to come. But the good kind of stuck in your head.

6. "Crocodile Rock" - Elton John

A fun and upbeat song about memories and the fun that goes with them, this is a song that anyone can dance to all the time. And trust me, I do.

7. "The Impression That I Get" - The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

If there is one genre of music that was made for the season of summer, I would argue that it's Ska. This song is bright without being overwhelming and is one of the greatest to come out of its genre.

"Sunday Morning" - No Doubt

More Ska? More ska. A catchy song with a very rebellious (even angry) message, perfect for picnics, car rides, or sitting in your room for extended periods of time.

9. "Sunflower" - Shoobies

A cute summer love song for any and all summer love you might experience by a band you've never heard of. This cute little number is by Shoobies, an alternative band out of New Jersey.

10. "Honey" - Kehlani

Speaking of cute love songs, this one is cute, soft, everything you could ever want, and so much more. Plus, it's Kehlani — a win all around.

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.
