How Your Music Taste Reflects Your Personality

This is a response to 25 Songs That Send You, A Millenial, Back To Your Childhood With Just The Opening Notes.

I had always been a music lover, ever since I was a little kid. My parents would play everything from classic rock to jazz around the house, and I would soak it all up like a sponge. As I got older, I started to develop my own taste in music, and it became a defining part of my personality.

One day, I was at a party with some friends, and we were all hanging out in the living room, chatting and sipping on drinks. Someone put on some music, and I immediately perked up when I heard the familiar guitar riffs of my favorite band. I started tapping my foot and singing along, completely lost in the music.

Suddenly, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see a girl I didn't know, with a shy smile on her face. "I love that band too," she said. "They're my favorite."

I felt a surge of excitement in my chest. Finally, someone who appreciated the same music as me! We started chatting about our favorite albums, and before I knew it, we were deep in conversation about all kinds of music. It felt like we had known each other for years, and I couldn't believe how easy it was to talk to her.

As the night went on, we kept talking and laughing, and I couldn't help feeling like I had found a kindred spirit. We exchanged numbers before we left the party, and I couldn't stop smiling as I walked home. It was amazing to connect with someone over something as simple as music, and I knew that this was the start of a beautiful friendship.

From that day on, we would send each other songs and albums we were into, and we even went to a few concerts together. It was like we had our own little music community, and it was one of the best things that had ever happened to me.

Studies have shown that there is a significant relationship between musical preferences and personality traits. In fact, researchers have found that people with similar personalities tend to listen to similar types of music. So, what does your music taste say about you?

First, let's explore the different personality traits that have been associated with various music genres. People who enjoy classical music tend to be introverted, imaginative, and creative. They are often open-minded, sensitive, and enjoy their own company. On the other hand, individuals who listen to heavy metal and hard rock are typically extraverted, adventurous, and assertive. They are often rebellious, but also highly independent and self-assured.

Fans of country music tend to be agreeable, friendly, and hardworking. They enjoy being part of a community and often have strong family values. Pop music fans, on the other hand, are typically outgoing, energetic, and highly social. They enjoy being around others and often have a positive outlook on life.

Moving on to hip hop and rap, fans of this genre tend to be highly confident, competitive, and goal-oriented. They are often assertive and may have a strong sense of self-identity. Lastly, those who enjoy jazz tend to be creative, open-minded, and intellectual. They are often introspective and enjoy challenging themselves intellectually.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
