Summer 2016 Playlist

The good thing about coming home is getting to find out which music my family and friends are listening to.

Summer has officially ended for me and with school right around the corner I am reflecting on my summer 2016. It was great. I took a summer class, which I got an A on, and I took a well-deserved trip back home. Although I dealt with a family scare I am glad to say that it is over. All is well in that front. I also got my resume, portfolio and blog up and running which is something that has been on my bucket list for what seems like ages. I have also been reading a lot more and rapidly as well. All in all, I can’t complain about this summer.

The good thing about coming home is getting to find out which music my family and friends are listening to. It’s usually different from what I am listening to at home. When I left New York, Drake’s One Dance was in full force over there. By the time I got here there was a remix on the radio. Which means that particular song is played out. I wouldn’t doubt if it’s already played out in New York as well.

I get songs stuck pretty quickly, I don’t care how old or annoying I get to people. If I like the song you best believe I’ll be singing it at the top of my lungs and posting it all over my social media. Thank god that YouTube gives its users the ability to make playlists because I don’t know what I would do without my music as I am walking around New York.

Here are the songs that I have been listening to since school ended in May 2016. This is the order in my YouTube playlist:

Note: these are not all of them

Can’t Stop the Feeling: Justin Timberlake

Cake By The Ocean: DNCE

Work: Rhianna Ft. Drake

Una Vaina Loca: Fuego

La Tipa Me Mira: La Nueva Escuela

This Is What You Came Here For: Madilyn Bailey Cover

We Don’t Talk Anymore: Charlie Puth ft. Selena Gomez

Into You: Ariana Grande

All In My Head (Flex): Fifth Harmony ft. Fetty Wap

These songs have been playing nonstop while I have been cleaning, when I should be sleeping but I can't, when I should be doing work but I am not. While I've been in and out of the hospital and while I am in the car with my parents.

Yes. There are some Spanish mixed in there but I am Dominican. What do you expect?

What songs do you currently have on repeat?

You tried your best to avoid it, but that one statistics class that you need to take in order to graduate was only offered at 9 AM. Sound familiar? Now it's a daily struggle to make it on time, but everyone has those days where they just...don't. If that sounds relatable, then you may have experienced some (or all) of these thoughts.

11 Things All Call Center Workers Can Empathize With Better Than Anyone

This semester I started my journey as a member of my University's Alumni Outreach Team. This means a lot of things, but primarily it means that I get to make phone calls to parents and alumni two nights a week to update contact information, collect things like business cards and volunteer hours, and even ask for money.

Because every other week is a week in hell.

1. It's the only week when you can go out every day and not want to rip your hair out on Sunday realizing how much you actually have to do.

2. There's always something going on, whether it's parties, welcome back socials, or free food events for the most random things.

3. The classes never run the full time...

4. You suddenly have a million friends again after not seeing everyone over break.

5. You have a fresh new meal plan again.

6. You're optimistic about how great you'll do this semester... at least for now.

7. You get a feel for how strict your professors are. How easy is it to text during class? Can I get away with not buying the textbook? Can I nap?

8. Everyone is in the same boat with the incredibly awkward ice breakers.

9. But regardless, you couldn't be more glad to be back.

Being on a first name basis with campus police and administrators.

1. When all your friends are hanging out and having fun and you’re stuck working desk.

2. When your decorations are due by midnight and it’s 11:30 PM and you’re still painting.

3. And the night before your residents all move in you’re running around taping up door tags in your hall.

4. But you know better than anyone that by week two, some wasted stranger is going to rip them down anyway.

5. Then having to change your hallway theme again during midterm week.

6. Roommate conflicts that happen before the semester even starts.

7. When you’re finally getting ready to go to bed and you stumble upon a random incident.

8. The tedious documentation that follows an already overwhelming incident.

9. Parents calling you about an issue with their student, and you’re wondering how they got your phone number in the first place.

10. You need to come up with a fun, educational programming idea, but you know nobody is going to show up without the promise of food.

11. Running into a resident at a bar or a party.

12. You remind yourself on a daily basis that you do not have to snap every time you agree with something someone says.

13. That awkward 3 A.M. encounter when your resident knocks on your door, half naked, asking for a condom.

14. Doing your nightly rounds of the building and trying to figure out where that odor of marijuana is coming from.

15. When the resident who has been documented on three separate occasions has bloodshot eyes tells you they haven’t been smoking tonight.

16. Being on a first-name basis with campus police and administrators.

17. Handling an incident that you thought only happened on TV or in the movies.

18. When you’re halfway through the semester and you see residents who have never left their room before.

19. Fire alarms are absolutely terrifying, but it has nothing to do with the possibility of there being a fire…

20. Training. More training. And continued training.
