We must appreciate throwbacks when the sun is out.

After this dreadful "spring", it's time to roll your windows down & turn your volume up in your car. Therefore I'm going to do you a favor and give you ten songs that always have & always will be bangers.

Disclaimer - There will be no J. Cole...at all.

1. Chance the Rapper - Good Ass Intro

A song I am willing to petition to be played throughout downtown Chicago on Saturdays mornings. When Chance says, "And we back, and we back" I feel that on a personal level. It's time to get back to your drunk alter ego & your non-remorseful degeneracy.

2. Bruno Mars (ft. Gucci Mane) - That's What I Like

This is the perfect song to play for that special guy or girl when they get in your car for that first summer ice cream date just for appreciation purposes. It's not strawberry champagne, but I'm sure she'll appreciate the strawberry milkshake from Andy's! Also, with Gucci Mane featuring it's the added "Brr!" needed on a hot, summer date.

3. Rihanna (ft. Drake) - Work

I know you don't need another reminder that you actually have to get up off your ass this summer and work but Rihanna's voice should be enough motivation to at least start the day. Honestly, I would recommend listening to this song in the mirror so you can attempt to bring out your inner Aubrey Graham and reassure yourself.

4. Frank Ocean - Sweet Life

Just read the title, play the song & tell me you don't want to live life just as freely as Frank. While the lyrics' meaning are a mystery, the beat in the song is so melodic it brings the purity to your summer debauchery.

5. R. Kelly - Ignition (Remix)

I will no longer tolerate anyone who disrespects this song when it's played at any function. If you don't immediately start singing along when he says "This the remix to Ignition, hot and fresh out the kitchen", you're either too busy chasing a drink or have terrible music taste.

6. Quavo, Chance the Rapper, Justin Bieber - I'm The One

While may Bieber Fever never lasted long, my appreciation for Quavo's ad-libs will never cease.

7. The Notorious B.I.G - Mo Money Mo Problems

The chorus of this song is Top 10 of all time. After listening to the song 4 times in a row, you'll find it very hard to resist screaming "THE MORE MONEY WE COME ACROSS, THE MORE PROBLEMS WE SEEEEEEE!" Even if your bank account says you already have enough problems as it is.

8. Lil Yachty - Priorities

Lil Boat had some bad news for you, me & all of our friends last summer and we're bringing his prophecy to summer 2k18:

Our priorities are ______ ___

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
