As summer approaches and school winds down, it isn’t unlikely that you and your friends have already begun to plan for the months ahead. A perfect blend of lazy days and sunshine creates such a unique, almost nostalgic feeling during this seemingly endless break. Feelings such as these are the kind that make living in a movie so appealing, wishing you had a constant underscore of the perfect soundtrack to accompany the memories you make and things that you do. Unfortunately, and as wonderful it’d be, no one is there to score your life like in the movies. Fortunately, you can create a mix that fits perfectly the mold of your summer days, and composes a soundtrack exclusive to you. To help you get started, here’s my own, personal, ultimate summer playlist.
