Spring Break is within grasp.
Understandably, today’s classes may be some of the hardest lectures to get through. All eyes are on the clocks, but time is going to go at its normal speed, much to the disappointment of students. Cell phones are buzzing holes in pockets with text messages making plans for what the next nine classless days will bring. Daydreams of warm air, sandy beaches and margaritas in the moonlight are dancing in the minds of everyone.
But, it’s Friday. Spring Break is a close fantasy. To properly prepare for the time off, every student needs a pump-up music playlist. Pull out your iPods now.
“Hey, Soul Sister” by Train — The ukulele sends thoughts of summer to everyone’s minds; the romantic lyrics causes a desire for your significant other; and the sing-along feel of the tune makes for a perfect group night. It’s the perfect spring break song.
“Coconut Juice” by Tyga (featuring Travis McCoy) — For all of the students going to the Caribbean for the next week, the two things that should not be forgotten are limes and coconuts. If they are, you might as well have not left Bowling Green.
“Can’t Stop Partying” by Weezer (featuring Lil Wayne) — Going along with what was said above, no matter where a student finds themselves over break, make it as much of a party as Weezer and Weezy would.
“Shots” by LMFAO — This party song is equivalent to going to a convention for alcoholics and the motivational speaker wears grillz, braids and is known for getting crunk. He lists six different shots for your consideration. Do him proud.
“Say Hey” Michael Franti and Spearhead (featuring Cherine Anderson) — Grab whomever you love. This song is perfect for dancing with them. The tune revolves around love at first sight, and it celebrates it with an original, fun beat perfect for the island partying some will be up to this week.
“Telephone” by Lady GaGa (featuring Beyoncé) — I know it’s hard, but take it from GaGa and B, and leave your phone at home. Go to that party and forget about everything you left behind. Don’t take any calls. They’ll do nothing but add unneeded stress.
“Put Your Records On” by Corrine Bailey Rae — This song is the motto of what Spring Break should be. Pick songs for a playlist (and what do you know. Here’s seven already picked for you), play them loud and let your hair down. Spring break is about taking it easy, and you have no worries until March 15, so enjoy it.
