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.

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.

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.
