Oh glorious summer, you are finally in our grasps! Two months filled with road trips, sunny skies, sand, refreshing dips in the beach, and house parties are now what fill up our schedules. But, all of this can’t be done without some awesome tunes in the background. Here are some of our favorite summer tunes that always remind us of these carefree days.

Now grab your cold beers, sit back on your beach chair, press play, and let the music set you and your friends in the summer mood. I know there are way more songs out there that make you want to shout “school’s out!,” so let us know by visiting Her Campus UPR-Río Piedras and write down your summer jams. With just enough, a second playlist will be all yours for the taking!
