If you're like me, you HATE the majority of the songs on the radio. So, with the help of Spotify, I have been working to curate the perfect summer playlist. While it is still ever-growing, here are a few songs that are currently on my 2018 summer playlist:

1. La Luz by Coastal and Jackie Mendoza

Spotify

This song's bass and vocals is bound to get you moving. It's currently my dancing-in-the-shower song.

2. Biking by Krsraga

Spotify

This song is the perfect song for sitting around with friends on a late night.

3. Sum of My Cares by The Long Faces

Spotify

With such a jazzy feel, I love listening to this song with my windows rolled down when I'm running errands around town.

4. Cold Air by Fyfe

Spotify

This song is on the shorter side at 2:55, but it's still a bop!

5. Moments by JABS

Spotify

The guitar in this song gives such a beachy vibe that it's a must listen when you've got your toes in the sand.

6. Night Ride by The Growlers

Spotify

The chorus in this song is bound to get stuck in your head when lounging around your house.

7. Holiest by Glass Animals and Tei Shi

Spotify

This is my favorite song at the moment. It's my go-to song when I'm coming back from work late at night. It seems to take me to a different headspace, one where I'm hopelessly in love with some sultry stranger.

8. Being No One, Going Nowhere by STRFKR

Spotify

This is the perfect song for driving down empty roads on summer nights.

9. What's Your Secret by Jasper Bones

Spotify

THE perfect bubble bath/relaxing/you-day song. This song always calms me down. I can honestly listen to this song on repeat for hours.

10. Piledriver Waltz by Arctic Monkeys

Spotify

Every time I listen to this song, I feel like I'm in a movie and this is the soundtrack that plays in the background (am I the only one that does that?) Also a great song to listen to while lounging by the pool.

11. Swimming by Lunar Vacation

Spotify

This is a song to listen to when your summer crush breaks your heart, or anything of the sort happens. Even with the sunny weather, everyone needs a good sad song they can mope to every now and then.

12. Petals by Bibio

Spotify

This is the newest song I recently started to listen to. Yet another great song to listen to wrapped in a blanket, sipping tea or coffee, listening to the rain pelt the windowsill on a particularly wet day.

13. The Reservoir by Small Forward

Spotify

Here's a great coffee-in-the-morning type song--if you're up before the temperature hits eighty!

14. Colored Emotions by Night Moves

Spotify

For those lucky enough to have a screened-in porch, this is the song to unwind to after dinner while listening to the cicadas.

15. Runaway (U & I) - Yacht Club Remix by Galantis

Spotify

Are you on the way to a concert/music festival and want to be pumped up? This is the song for you! I think it is physically impossible not to dance to this song.

16. Million Miles Away by Washed Out

Spotify

This is such a lovely song for if you find yourself around a city.

17. Make Me Your Queen by Declan McKenna

Spotify

This uber cute song is perfect for when you find yourself relaxing by the lake with close friends or family.

18. Headphones by Walk the Moon

Spotify

Need a song that you can head-bang to? This is the one. Nic Petricca's vocals and insane guitar riffs are killer and will definitely get you bobbing your head.

19. King of the Clouds by Panic! at the Disco

Spotify

This song is from Panic!'s new album "Pray for the Wicked" and, like all of their songs on this album, this one is destined to be added to your playlist

20. I Fall in Love Too Easily by Caleb Belkin

Spotify

This song mixes my two favorite things: Chet Baker's velvet voice and a modern beat. I love when people find ways to fuse the old with the new, and this song is the perfect example of that.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
