Ahh, Spring! Finally we get to shed our Northfaces, Uggs, leggings and black on black ensembles for lighter garb, and start spending more time outside doing our favorite extracurricular activities—like soaking up some sun, spending time with friends and listening to our favorite new party jams on the Greenspace.
Spring time at Bentley is one of the best times of the year, so you need a playlist of the best tunes to keep up with your newfound outdoor freedom. Whether you’re taking a nice afternoon run, relaxing (or slip n’ sliding!) on the Greenspace, or celebrating the weekend, this playlist will put you in a good mood and put you in the spring semester mindset so put on your new candy-colored jeans, your favorite pair of Jack Rogers, put on this playlist, and have a blast this spring.
There are certainly some popular Billboard 100 favorites and some country jams, but I also included some fabulous remixes to keep things fresh, new and ready-to-party. Here are 25 of my favorite must-have songs for a fabulous spring semester:
