Music has the ability to express emotions and feelings when words aren't enough.
1. “A moment of love, a dream, a laugh, a kiss, a cry, our rights, our wrongs” –Sweet Disposition, Temper Trap
As I entered my first year, I felt like my hopes were best summed up in this song.
2. “I’m ready” –AJR, I’m Ready
After listening to this song a fair amount first semester, I must admit it gets annoying quickly. However, it also pumped me up for anything I was nervous about. Some mornings if I was especially tired I’d play this song while I was getting ready
3. “God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young. It’s hunting season and this lamb is on the run. Searching for meaning, But are we all lost, trying to light up the dark?” –Adam Levine, Lost Stars
During periods of loss, self-doubt and significant periods of sorrow, I turned on this song. I've shed more than a few tears while listening to it and it has also allowed me to ponder more serious and important questions about my life.
4. “We are not what you think we are. We are golden.”
-roommate and I had a special thing of sharing music
5. “I won’t worry my life away” –Jason Mraz, The Remedy (I Won't Worry)
on letting go and giving myself a break
6. “’Cause I still got a lot of fight left in me” -Rachel Platten, Fight Song
These one has two meanings: Relay for Life and reminding me how much I love my family
7. “Cause I wonder sometimes about the outcome” –John Mayer, Why Georgia
Changing my major
8. “Every night with us is like a dream/The best people in life are free” –Taylor Swift, New Romantics
-making friends and how everyone loves Taylor Swift
9. “I’m doing just fine. I’m always landing on my feet. In the nic of time. And by the skin of my teeth” -Lee Dewyze, Sweet Seredipity
