My February Playlist

Music feeds the mind

My February Playlist

A month ago I wrote an article about the music I was currently listening to and it was probably one of my favorites. I love writing about music since it plays such an important role in my life. Music helps me in so many ways that nobody else can. Every month I create a new playlist of favorite music and since I shared last month's favorites, I decided to do it again with a whole new lineup. As always, don't judge each song by its artist or title! Here are my favorite songs I have been listening to this February.

1. Bom Bidi Bom- Nick Jonas & Nicki Minaj


This was one heck of a wait. The moment I found out about this collaboration I just couldn't contain myself. It's finally here and I couldn't be happier. I may not have seen 50 Shades Darker, but this soundtrack is everything I ever needed. Never in a million years would I think Nick Jonas and Nicki Minaj would do a song together but it's just what everyone needed...or at least what I needed.

2. That's What I Like- Bruno Mars


I will never get over this album. I am actually very obsessed with the album as a whole but I am currently loving this song. Bruno Mars will forever be one of my favorite artists. I don't know whether it's his amazing vocals or that great beat in the background that draws me to this song, but I love it. I can't help but at least bob my head the second I hear this song start.

3. Weak- AJR


Now my opinion on this song is so weird. I feel the lyrics are kind of...sucky? Though at the same time I can't help but absolutely love this song! It's so ridiculously catchy. It's honestly impossible to hate this song.

4. I Feel It Coming- The Weeknd ft. Daft Punk


This song is still fairly new so there's no music video or lyric video so I had to link his performance at the Grammys, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't still enjoy this song. Something about this song gives me Michael Jackson vibes and I am hooked. The Weeknd never fails to bring out a new hit.

5. Touch- Nick Jonas


If I am being completely honest, I've been listening to this since summer but I haven't stopped loving it! Nick's music will always have a special place in my poor little Jonas Brothers heart. I will forever be sad over the breakup of the Jobros, but I can't say I am not enjoying Nick and Joe's solo career. I feel like I am getting twice the amount of music now that they're solo and honestly, I can't be mad about it.

6. Beauty and the Beast- Ariana Grande and John Legend


I am so unbelievably excited for Beauty and the Beast to come out and this song just made it ten times more exciting. Beauty and the Beast is up there with one of my favorite Disney movies and to hear two talented artists that I love cover a song from the movie really warms my heart. Just all the feels listening to this.

7. I Don't Wanna Live Forever(acoustic)- Zayn


If you don't know, I'd be surprised if you didn't, there's a song Zayn and Taylor Swift sing for 50 Shades Darker called 'I Don't Wanna Live Forever.' If I am being honest, I am really not the biggest fan of Taylor, but the second I heard Zayn's acoustic version of this song I immediately became obsessed. This song has so much more meaning slowed down and so raw. Ten out of ten.

8. Pity Party- Melanie Martinez


If you have no idea who Melanie Martinez is, then please look her up. This song is such a unique twist on 'It's My Party and I Cry If I Want To.' Honestly, I'd rather listen to this version during my party than the original. There's just something about Melanie's style that's unlike most artists.

9. Dirty Laundry- Blackbear


Oh, Blackbear. How I wish more people knew your music. I wouldn't be surprised if you became the next big artist within the next year. You have so much talent and this is definitely a catchy song you would hear on the radio. Fingers crossed!

10. Somebody Else- The 1975


I never really listened to The 1975 until this past year and something about this song makes me wanna listen to it on repeat. This is one of those songs that I just put on repeat every time I shower. If you don't really know the 1975 and you aren't the biggest fan of this song then I highly recommend cruising youtube for other's because The 1975 has a slot of different music. I also think this is one of those bands that any generation can listen to. It's very modern yet sounds like it's from the late 80's. Definitely my favorite indie rock group I have heard in awhile.

11. It Ain't Me- Kygo and Selena Gomez


This song is very...wow. I mean I can't help but think this is some serious Justin Bieber shade, but it almost makes this song better. I love Selena and I love Justin, but something about them writing songs about one another really gets me. This song is quite comical and it's a very different style from Selena's usual. Thank you Kygo for joining Selena in this and making such a catchy song.

12. Bad 4 Us- Superfruit


I watch a lot of youtube and I mean A LOT. These are two YouTubers who a channel called Superfruit. Don't recognize the channel name? Maybe you have heard of Pentatonix? This is two of the members from the acapella group Pentatonix and it's just so cute. I also love the animation music video how it's almost like you are watching a little romance video game. Hope there's more music to come from the two of them.

13. Thumbs- Sabrina Carpenter


Sabrina Carpenter has a beautiful voice that I will never get over. Her voice is so powerful for her age. Out of all the music she has come out with, this is probably my favorite. Since the start of Girl Meets World to now, she has grown to be such a talented girl and I can't wait to hear the music that she has to come.

14. a love song/a non love song- Jon Cozart and Dodie

This is another set of YouTubers that I watch. Dodie and Jon are known for covers and a few self-written songs. Long story short, this song was written separately and all they had to go off of was a melody and when they came together this is what it sounded like. One is a love song and the other isn't, yet they sound so beautiful together. While they aren't technically professional musicians, I can only hope one they are.

15. Moonlight- Ariana Grande


Who doesn't love Ariana? She seems to always have a new hit every week and while I love all of her hits, I feel like this song needs some more recognition. This song reminds me a lot of her older music. It's soft and slow with very little music leaving her powerful voice to take over. Ariana will definitely be around for awhile and the fact that she still makes music like she has from the beginning is almost a relief? I love her newer music, but something about her older music really takes me back to my teen years. Not sure if that's a good thing, but I wanna say it is!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
