I'm positive I am not the first person and will not be the last to say this, but college absolutely drains all of my time. Of course I work, go out with friends, and take time to live but many parts of my life get pushed to the back burner during the school months. One of these just so happens to unfortunately be music. This means that during the summer I spend a lot of my time just catching back up on new music, CD releases, and exploring the hidden parts of Youtube.
One of my best friends, Baylen, and I are both music junkies and have had an ongoing music swap since freshman year. I don't like to admit it but he gives me pretty great artists to listen to. Tonight I was feeling the restlessness of not going on a late night drive since being at school. Almost as if he could sense it, he sent me Cherry by Luna Shadows. Everything about it is so lovely and exactly what I needed for my anxiousness. I then got curious about the Youtube channel it's on and found Swim by Valley. Now spoiler alert: it has been a very long time since a song has made me laugh out loud. This isn't a funny song in the slightest, it just made me that happy. If you are looking for some extra songs for your summer playlist then I recommend these two songs and the Youtube channel "IndieAir". If you are looking for stars out, windows down, your love sitting in the passenger seat then get ready to be pleasantly surprised. Let summer commence.

Summer Playlists
At the beginning of every summer the first thing my sister and I do is make our summer playlist. For a song to make a cut it has to be perfect. A lot of scrutinizing and bantering goes into this playlist so by the time it's done it has a mix of everything we want. A little country, good road trip songs, one or two bubble gum pop, and mostly our favorite punk songs or songs that we're hoping to see on Warped Tour. Sometimes songs carry over from the previous year, but usually it is filled with songs that had recently come out or classic summer ballads. For the first week of summer this year, we spent it at our grandparents house in Florida. While there, summer songs were always playing and that is why the first song was on our list. It was playing on the radio almost every time we turned it on and so it became this summer's anthem.
Under the video are a few other random picks from the bucket list. Like I said, some country, bubble gum, and warped tour favorites are our go to songs. Making a playlist marks the beginning of the summer and so with the end coming in a week I figured I would share our summer routine.
What are your favorite summer songs? Do you prefer new or classic?
