Summer is coming to an end which means school is starting but don’t worry, because I have made a Spotify playlist to get this semester off to the right start!
- Kids In America by Kim Wilde
-
You might have heard this song in the 90s movie Clueless. This classic 90s hit gives off such a happy vibe that anyone that listens to this will fall in love!
“The young ones are going
(Downtown) the young ones are growing
We’re the kids in America (whoa)”
- Teenage Dream by Katy Perry
-
Living our “Teenage Dream” this song describes all the feels!
“Let’s go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I will be young forever
Yea Um, (No caption needed).”
- I’m Just A Kid by Simple Plan
-
Another oldie but goodie “I’m Just A Kid” you might have heard this in another fantastic movie Cheaper By The Dozen. This song is a perfect fit especially because of the lyrics “I’m just a kid and life is a nightmare.” This song will forever be relevant no matter what grade and life moment you’re in.
- We Are Young by FUN
-
Listening to this takes me right back to my younger school years. Being with all my friends, blasting this song, it was always such a good vibe and great times for sure.
“Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun”
- Good Morning by Kanye West
-
In Kanye’s Graduation album, he shared some of his thoughts on the school system as well as his own experience while being a rapper and a producer. The song “Good Morning” instantly puts you in a good mood (trust me I know from experience).
“But you graduate when you make it up outta the streets
From the moments of pain
Look how far we done came
Haters saying’ ya changed
Now ya doin’ ya thang
Good morning
Good morning”
- KIDS by MGMT
-
MGMT is one of my favorite artists and the music they make is just unreal. I recommend listening to their music! But this particular song “Kids” is one of the songs on their top hits and it is one of those songs that takes you back. The beats and the instrumental plus the lyrics… it all hits the spot!
“Making mama so proud but your voice is too loud
“We like to watch you laughing
You pick the insects off plants,
no time to think of consequences”
[Chorus]
“Control yourself, take only what you need from it”
- Last Friday Night by Katy Perry
-
Listening to this song on a Friday night during the school year with all your friends after a long dreadful week of classes was the highlight of the week during my school years. Especially in those late-night car rides!
“Last Friday night
Yeah, I think we broke the law
Always say we’re gonna stop, whoa
But this Friday night, do it all again”
- All My Friends by Snakehips
-
Great throwback for getting back into the semester! Seeing all my friends again while blasting this in the car gives me so much serotonin! I love it.
“All my friends are wasted
And I hate this club
Man I drink too much
Another Friday night I waste
My eyes are black and red”

Hopefully, this perfect playlist will help ease back into the school year with all the right vibes and feels!
