Spring Break has finally arrived and it's time to pack our bags, crank up the music and have a week of relaxation. Music is an essential element for Spring Break, whether it be for lounging on the beach, getting ready to go out with friends, or driving down the highway with your windows down. This being said, it’s time to finalize those playlists and get excited for the upcoming week.

Each part of the day has different musical needs, so I have split up the songs into smaller playlists for the numerous moods of the week.

Playlist 1: The Road Trip

These songs are perfect for driving down highways and backroads, and especially for jamming with friends. The key to a great road trip playlist is throw back songs, and some of these songs will take you back to your 8th grade dance.
