A Playlist From The iPod Of A Middle Schooler In 2013

My taste in music has always been all over the place, dipping into wildly different genres and spanning from about eight decades. For the past few years I've had a Spotify account, which has given me the luxury of having song or artist recommendations and having a limitless library of music at the touch of my finger tips. Back in 2013, however, I did not have a music streaming account nor did I care to discover new or unheard songs. I was completely content with my taste in music stemming from the covers that my brothers band played every weekend, pop radio stations, my obsession with One Direction, viral Vine songs, and Dad's rock n' roll barbecue playlist. Here are 25 of the songs that were on my iPod in 2013.

1. "Some Nights" - fun.

2. "Holy Grail" - JAY-Z, Justin Timberlake

3. "Royals" - Lorde

4. "I Want To Hold Your Hand" - The Beatles

5. "Gas Pedal" - Sage The Gemini, Iamsu!

6. "Dirty Little Secret" - The All-American Rejects

7. "Bellas Finals: Price Tag/Don't You (Forget About Me)/Give Me Everything/Just The Way You Are/Party in the U.S.A/Turn The Beat Around) - The Barden Bellas

8. "Treasure" - Bruno Mars

9. "One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks)" - One Direction

10. "Thrift Shop (feat. Wanz)" - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Wanz

11. "Wannabe" - Spice Girls

12. "Electric Feel" - MGMT

13. "I Knew You Were Trouble" - Taylor Swift

14. "Classic" - MKTO

15. "Another One Bites The Dust" - Queen

16. "Battle Scars" - Lupe Fiasco, Guy Sebastian

17. "Little Things" - One Direction

18. "Pompeii" - Bastille

19. "Get Lucky (feat. Pharrell Williams & Nile Rodgers" - Daft Punk, Pharrell Williams, Nile Rodgers

20. "The Way" - Ariana Grande, Mac Miller

21. "When I Was Your Man" - Bruno Mars

22. "Radioactive" - Imagine Dragons

23. "Lip Gloss" - Lil Mama

24. "The Monster" - Eminem, Rihanna

25. "Best Song Ever" - One Direction

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
