Spring is finally here!

After weeks of dreary skies, partnered with wind and rain, the bitter, cold weather has finally come to end.

Not really though, but at least the sky has cleared up enough for the sun to make its appearance more than only once a week.

With spring comes Spring Break, of course. An entire week off of school for students and teachers to relax, have fun, and bask in the warmth of the sun (or at least we hope so).

But what’s a spring break without some music?

Not very fun, if you ask me. Music just helps make things more entertaining, more fun, and overall just more memorable. Songs have the power to wrap up moments and keep them sealed tightly, and those memories come back out once the song is played again. And because of this, I have compiled 4 lists of songs that help bring more fun to your spring break this year.
