Your Spring Break Playlist

Spring break has finally arrived, and students everywhere are celebrating being doing with school. Not having homework leaves plenty of times for activities such as going on trips, staying home and watching Netflix, and most importantly of all, listening to great music. So much incredible music has come out in recent times, and spring break is the perfect time to catch up on all that has been released. Here are some more recent songs to listen to, whether you're on a 16-hour flight or laying on your bed for the entierty of break.

"The Moment" - Tame Impala

Sure, Tame Impala may have connotations of "stoner music," but many of their songs are upbeat enough to dance to. "The Moment" is a fantastic song off of their relatively recent album, "Currents," and it features trippy vocals from Kevin Parker and wonderfully catchy electronic drum beat—ideal for those road trips you plan on taking this spring break.

"Dope Cloud" - Protomartyr


I'll be honest, I didn't love this band the first time I heard them. I supposed the post-punk movement isn't for everyone–at least not at first. But give this band a chance. Dark themes found throughout their lyrics are channelled by the lead singer, Joe Casey of Detroit, MI. Both his mother and his father have gone through severe health issues, and growing up with those deeply impacted Joe.

The song "Dope Cloud" off of their 2015 album "The Agent Intellect" features some of their more upbeat guitar—fans of Parquet Courts will love this song.

"The Way You’ve Love Her: - Mac Demarco


Mac Demarco's chill vibes are perfect for your spring break plans. His music sort of has that beachy, sunny, frisbee in one hand and cheap beer in the other vibe. Check out his most recent release, a mini-album titled "Another One" here.

"Come Home Now" - Day Wave


No matter what people say on the debate on music streaming, I think it's hard to deny how much more music discovery is available through online streaming. Services such as IndieShuffle.com and Pandora allow people to hear new songs all of the time. I discovered this song when it came up on Spotify's Music Discovery Playlist. The chill vibes from this song are perfect for your spring break, and perhaps an inspiration to go search for more music to listen to, too.

"I Love You So" - The Walters


With influences ranging from the Beach Boys to Steely Dan, The Walters are probably (hopefully) the coolest band that is about to make it big. Their most recent EP, released December of last year, manages to incorporate early-'60s harmonies into their music while still sounding totally unique. If the lead singer's voice and swoon-worthy background vocals don't make your heart melt, then you probably don't have a heart. Check out their wonderful albeit unconventional and odd music video for "I Love You So," and check out their music here.

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.
