Summer is only two weeks away for Miami University students. This means that along with the usual end-of-semester jitters many Miami students are also suffering from summer fever. This feeling comes from the hope and excitement that only summer can provide. Warm weather, no homework and endless possibilities are just a few reasons summer seems so promising and inviting. The perfect soundtrack for summer is key to prepare for those glorious few months and to make them even more enjoyable.
The first and most obvious choice for a summer playlist consists of songs that are so obviously about summer that they have the word somewhere in their titles. Some of these are familiar favorites and others may be less well-known. However, putting these on your summer playlist is guaranteed to give you a fantastic summer feeling.
The next option for your summer playlist is old favorites. These songs span from the 60s to the 80s and will all provide you with great summer vibes. Some of these are less explicitly about summer but they will still perfectly complement a summer evening drive or an outing to the beach.
The final option for your summer playlist is current songs that exude summer, even if they don't specifically say the word. This playlist covers a huge range of genres and the release dates of these songs span quite a few years. However, they will fit together cohesively to accompany the summer activity of your choice.
