My sophomore year of high school I was introduced to an app that would change my life: Spotify. I not only became obsessed with listening to as much music as possible but finding new artists and genres to broaden my music taste. If you are living under a boulder and don't know what Spotify is, it is an amazing music app that allows you to listen to whatever music you want! Yes, My life was changed even more when I got premium (In my opinion paying $10 a month for unlimited skips and downloads is worth it.) Not only could I listen to all my favorite artists, but I could download music so I wouldn't go over my data limit... a fatal flaw of mine for a while.

Throughout my Spotify experience, the one aspect that has gotten me through different seasons, breakups, parties, and volleyball games has been my addiction to making playlists. Anyone who knows me can agree that I can make a playlist for any occasion in the world. Nothing beats having all my favorite songs in one place and I also love making playlists for people and sending to them when they did extra love or support. I think everyone can agree that music changes lives and inspires the world every day.

Different from Apple Music, Spotify allows you to follow your friends and check out their music taste and playlists, it also has collaboration playlists making it so my sister and I can make them together. During the Holiday season, Spotify releases your own "Top 2017 songs" playlist where they choose the most songs you have played over the year and puts them together.

I loved going back and reminiscing over the songs I loved (and still love) during 2017. I strongly suggest checking out the app and start making playlists for whatever occasion you need. I have found that making playlists for different events makes me excited and able to remember a festival, random road trip, or time in my life. Check out some of my playlists for some inspiration:)
