SPRING-BREAK-PLAYLIST.png

Spring break and spring brings many things...blooming flowers, singing birds, a bunny who inexplicably delivers baskets of candy. But most importantly, spring brings warmer weather...meaning boys take off their shirts more frequently and we get to pull out shorts and flip-flops. We commemorate these momentous events by giving you a spring break playlist. One Direction- Forever Young Great cover by some hot-hot-hotties.

Carly Rae Jepsen- Call Me Maybe Although we don't recommend handing your number out to strangers... dreaming is ok, right? Right? (And we love how the video ends. Epic.) Check out our FB page later today, we'll be posting a fun remake of this song!

Estelle- Do My Thing Have fun on Spring Break and do YOUR thang!

Jason Aldean- My Kinda Party Spring Break is just one big party no matter if it's a vacation or staycation. No school IS a party!

Noah and the Whale- First Days of Spring Here's to new beginnings...and English Indie Folk singers.

Summer Paradise (feat. Sean Paul)- Single "I remember every sunset"... isn't that what Spring Break is about too? ? A teaser for summer?

i hate valentine's day playlist

In a relationship? Single? It's complicated? Regardless of relationship status, there is a certain hip-ness to hatin' on Valentine's Day and we've got the "songs that are not love songs" playlist to prove it. These "not love songs" run the gamut of relationship grief...heartbreak, anger, the desire to kick someone...you know, the usual emotions. So put in your earbuds and crank up these tunes while you pelt those nasty conversation hearts at random couples. (But, if you can't decide to love or um, not love, check these out for our best teen love songs.)

Beyonce- Single Ladies This makes me want to wear a leotard and heels to school.

Outkast- Roses Wow. Andre's really mad.

India.Arie - Video Ok, it's a love song... but trust us, it's THE love song.

Taylor Swift- Another Picture to Burn The undisputed QUEEN of break-up songs
