Current Music Obsessions

This is for the songs that are stuck in my head.

Music is one of the greatest things on this planet. There is literally a song for every emotion. In my opinion, music is such a natural stress reliever, serving one of its many purposes. I feel like a lot of music is used to tell a story and how the artist chooses to tell that story is up to them. I like just about every kind of music except heavy metal, hard rock, things of that nature. I prefer songs that I can understand and that are not screamed at me. I do like a little bit of country. When I say a little bit, I mean like two songs by Carrie Underwood: Before He Cheats & Last Name. I do like a song or two by Green Day, PANIC! at the Disco, Theory of a Deadman, and The Fray but I have no desire to go on a musical adventure, which means I listen to their other songs and see if I like them. If I do, then I'll download them. Sometimes I download a few songs at a time or I'm downloading whole albums. There is very rarely an in between.

Bad Blood by NAO
I stumbled across this song when I was scrolling through my Facebook timeline. There was a video with this song playing in the background. It wasn't the whole song but there was something about it that I just couldn't shake. I had to know what song it was and listen to the whole thing. Thank God for the comment section. Someone came through for me. I went to YouTube and sure enough, it was there. I looked at the video and I wasn't exactly sure what was going on but it was definitely different. I became obsessed with the song and needed to know every word. I had it on repeat for several days at a time and even got my sister hooked on it.

Don't Mind by Kent Jones
I'm probably stuck on this song just for the simple fact that I spent a week with my sister and by the time I left, we almost knew this whole song. I actually do like the pleasure of having learned a new song within a few days. It feels like an accomplishment when you can sing/rap a whole song without messing up. Wouldn't you agree?

Chance The Rapper
I love his music. The first time I heard him, my friend introduced me to a song that he was featured on called The Way by Kehlani. She definitely regretted that because I wore that song out. It was on repeat for several days at a time. Well, one night I got bored and decided to take a musical adventure. Since I loved his rap in The Way, I had to look into his other music. I looked at his albums: Acid Rap, 10 Days, and most recently Coloring Book. Of course, I have my favorites on each of these albums but I truly do love all of his work. From Coloring Book, my favorites consist of Juke Jam, All We Got, Mixtape, Angels, and No Problem, from Acid Rap: Cocoa Butter Kisses and Chain Smoker, and from 10 Day: 14,000 Minutes, Prom Night, and Brain Cells. I'm sure you're wondering what makes Chance The Rapper so great? Lyrically, I think he's a genius. He's rapping about his life in a creative way and I love his voice. I can't leave out the fact that he's attractive. That's just my opinion so take some time out of your day and go on a musical adventure :)

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
