Weekly Playlist: Summer Loving

Photo: Jennifer T. Alli

Music is a huge part of my life and I constantly am creating different playlists. I want to share some of my music choices with you and create weekly playlists. Some will be themed, some will be what I'm listening to at the moment. The goal is to publish a new playlist containing 10 - 20 songs every Thursday.

So with that in mind....

This is the first playlist I want to share with you guys!

After finishing our final tests and essays, packing up our dorm rooms (or cleaning out our lockers for high schoolers), and finally leaving school for the last time of the year, we all know one thing. Summer has started!! With the start of summer we can enjoy long nights outside with friends, stay up late because we want to, not because we have to, eat ice cream outside, or simply read a book, while sitting in the sun. Either or, summer is a cherished time amongst all students because it provides a small break from the craziness of a school year. 

While my summer started later than most because my  school got out mid- May, I am finally home and enjoying my time (and catching up on sleep)! However, the weather here has sucked a bit lately and I've been stuck inside because of colder weather and various thunderstorms.

I'm wishing next week will bring better weather and sunnier days! 

But hopefully you can enjoy these songs driving with the windows down or sitting in the sun.
