Looking for some new music to listen to over break, regardless of whether you’re jetting off to paradise or sitting on a train taking you back home? Look no further!
 

1.      Hello – Martin Solveig & Dragonette
Who wouldn’t want to start off break on a welcoming note! Scream along and let your finals stress slip away as you get ready for the most fun and relaxing week off of the entire academic year.

2.      Call Me Maybe – Carly Rae Jepsen
This party hit peaked recently, when Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber began to publicize it. The fast, upbeat nature and easy-to-learn lyrics make it a fun choice, regardless of whether you’re partying in the sun or resting at home.

3.      International Love – Pitbull feat. Chris Brown
If you did DM (or if you have friends who did), this song has probably been stuck in your head all week, but what could be better for an exciting break than the pumped-up beat!

4.      Good Feeling – Flo Rida
This one’s been around for a few months, but since you’re celebrating being done for the quarter, nothing feels better than screaming “oh, sometimes, I get a good feeling, yeah!” at the top of your lungs and dancing as the beat drops. 

5.       We Found Love – Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris
Rihanna’s single from the fall remains ever popular. Whenever it comes on, the electronic beat screams “good time!”

6.      Domino- Jessie J
 
Another upbeat, fun party anthem, this song guarantees is guaranteed to keep up the good mood while you’re enjoying your vacation!

7.      Marry the Night – Lady Gaga
Keep on jumping and dancing with more fast, fun party music to keep the mood light and the vacation fun!
8.      Super Bass – Nicki Minaj
Because who doesn’t want to attempt to rap all the lyrics along with Nicki? Sitting in the sun or sitting in the car, this song won’t fail to keep your spirits high and your mood good during your week off.

9.      Run the World (Girls) – Beyonce
If you’re away with your best friends from school, or home with your best friends from high school, every collegiette wants to feel empowered by a piece of fun music. This song will do just that!

10.  Send Me On My Way – Rusted Root
Want a flashback to childhood? This song is a little more relaxing, but its upbeat tempo and fun lyrics will surely get everyone singing!

11.  Lights – Ellie Goulding
Either the original version or Bassnectar’s dubstep remix is a great way to end the playlist. It’s strong beat will keep the energy high all the way to the end!
