40 Songs That Are Packed With Unlimited Summertime Vibes
Pixaby

Whether you are just getting out of school or you're working through the summer, these 40 songs can get you through it. So put your windows down, take a sip of water, and get ready to jam!


1. Summertime - DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince

Now I am a little bit bias because I am in love with Will Smith, but this is such a great song to get your summer day started!



2. It Was A Good Day - Ice Cube

Ice Cube wants us all to remember that there are always better days and to remember the good ones. How much better can that be for summer?



3. Can You Be My Friend? - Chief Keef

A good beat that might make you want to dance. Play by the pool and get the party started! A little modern twist too.



4. Free Fallin' - Tom Petty

You can't have a summer playlist without some of the late Tom Petty. Such a talented man. Enjoy the sunset car ride with this playing through your speakers.



5. All Night Long - Lionel Richie

If this song doesn't make you feel like you are on vacation than I am not sure what song will!


6. Blame It On The Boogie - The Jacksons

Yet again, another song that just makes you want to dance (how ironic in the name, right?). You just can't go wrong with it!


7. One Dance - Drake

I am not sure if you are catching the pattern here... but summer is a great time for dancing and this beat makes you want to dance just a little bit more!


8. Spoil My Night - Post Malone ft. Swae Lee

Off of Post Malone's new album, Beer Bongs and Bentleys (the entire album is fantastic, 10/10 recommend). Post Malone and Swae Lee put a beat together that makes you want to sing and dance, all night long!


9. Guatemala - Rae Sremmurd

A song based on a vacation... that makes you want to be on vacation. Instead, settle for a good beat and summertime vibes.


10. Do You Mind? - DJ Khaled, August Alsina, Chris Brown, Future, Jeremih, Nicki Minaj, & Rick Ross

With that line up, how can it not be a great song for the summer? I am not sure because it definitely is the perfect line up for summer.


11. A Good Night - John Legend

John Legend is great in all four seasons but this song is perfect for grabbing your man/woman and heading to the dance floor.


12. Hands On Me - BURNS

The beat to this song makes you want to listen to it over and over (or just a few times, up to you!)


13. Touchscreen Navigation - Rae Sremmurd

Ok, I think this is the last song with Swae Lee in it. But what can I say? His voice is unique and gives off sumertime vibes. How can I not use so many of his songs?


14. (What A) Wonderful World - Sam Cooke

Throwing it way back for this one. But the classics are never forgotten and this one makes summer with your person seem much warmer.


15. I Got You (I Feel Good) - James Brown

Whether you are talking about someone special or the fact that summer is finally here, let James Brown tell you how you're feeling and dance along.


16. Love On Top - Beyonce

Roll the windows down, get your girls in the car, and sing this one as loud as you can!


17. Margaritaville - Jimmy Buffett

I am not sure you can go a summer day on the lake without listening to Jimmy Buffett. Please, do yourself a favor and pour a margarita and play this. You might just feel like you're wasting away again...


18. It's Five O'Clock Somewhere - Alan Jackson & Jimmy Buffett

Did I mention that Jimmy Buffett makes summer complete? Play this when you're working your 9-5 on Wednesday and need to be reminded of how it can always be 5 o'clock somewhere.


19. Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing - John Legend

Another one that you can sing with the windows down and the wind blowing through oyour hair.


20. Young Dumb & Broke - Khalid

For us college kids, we are these things all year long. But let's act like this is just for the summer and sing it loud and proud.


21. Crawling - Chase & Status

A great song for dancing in the car and singing in the shower.


22. wonderful - Travis Scott

The Weeknd and Travis Scott come together to let us jam out to their wonderful time.


23. Dancing Queen - ABBA

I think the title says it all, do as you see fit!


24. Red Red Wine - UB40

Please, do yourself a favor and grab a bottle and let the song take you the rest of the way!


25. Best Love Song - T-Pain & Chris Brown

One of the best songs to sing to on a car ride with your friends or your boo. Keep those windows down and sing away!


26. Island Song - Zac Brown Band

If you're like me and stuck working most of this summer, let the Zac Brown Band take you away on a vacation that is well deserved (and maybe grab that wine from #24).


27. Turn Me On - Kevin Lyttle

One of my favorite songs that start the dancing gears!


28. Changes - Tupac

Maybe this might be a good time for a dose of reality (but with an awesome beat!). Let Tupac do his thing and let you know how it is, but also help you know it's just the way it is.


29. Senorita - Justin Timberlake

Nothing better then expressing your emotions for someone in an upbeat and vacation wanting way! Let Justin Timberlake talk to you like you're his Senorita!


30. Mo Money Mo Problems - The Notorious BIG

Remember that statement about being a broke college kid? Maybe we have it figured out!


31. Ms. Jackson - OutKast

What a great chorus to sing with those windows down again.


32. Shortie Like Mine - Bow Wow, Chris Brown

A classic one to sing and since it's summer, let's roll the windows down again!


33. I Wanna Dance With Somebody - Whitney Houston

I am not sure it's even possible to sing to Whitney Houston without having the windows down and other people in the car. But, to each their own!


34. Africa - Toto

Another song with a great beat that makes you think of warm weather.


35. Into The Night - Santana, Chad Kroger

A great song to dance and sing to. With warmer weather, this song gets 10x better!


36. La La La - Sam Smith & Naughty Boy

Let's block out the talk of summer coming to an end at some point with the song!


37. Runnin' Outta Moonlight - Randy Houser

A summer time playlist would not be complete without a little bit of country music and this one is perfect for it.


38. Summer Nights - Rascal Flatts

I had to put it towards the end because it is such a given. There's nothing like the summer nights that are coming our way. So prep for them with this song.


39. September - Earth, Wind & Fire

Summer has to come to an end at some point, but not necessarily in September. Keep on dancing with this classic hit.


40. Starships

Last but not least, a classic from Nicki. A perfect tune for getting your girls together and jamming out one last time before summer comes to an end (just like this playlist!)


Hopefully the playlist is what you're looking for and gives out plenty of summertimes vibes!

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
