On My Playlist: Hello Summer 2013

I like to say that all people have three mundane skills. These skills are most likely not useful in your professional or everyday life, but for what they lack in value, they make up for in spunk. One of my skills is making playlists. I would make CD's for my high school friends about three times a year without fail. I stopped doing that once CD's became obscure (firstly, it became harder to locate blank ones), but have decided that I should continue with the sharing process.

SO here is my Hello Summer 2013 Playlist, please ignore that the post date does not align with the start of summer.
