I Made A Playlist Out Of All The Times I Have Asked "Hey Siri, What's This Song?"

From old orchestral hits to 90s Christian pop tunes, Siri has helped me identify every piece in this playlist.

I Made A Playlist Out Of All The Times I Have Asked "Hey Siri, What's This Song?"
Elyssa Day

The day is just like any other. You're driving down the street and thinking about the week you have a head of you. Is that big test this week or next? When was the last time you vacuumed your floor? Did you remember to feed your fish today?

All of sudden, the radio spits out a new tune. What is this masterpiece? You've never heard it before! As you listen, you fall more and more in love with the chord choices and melodic arrangement.

You have no choice. You must download this beauty onto your music-playing device.

There's only one problem: you don't know what this is!

When faced with this situation, you follow one of three options: First, you could wait until the song is over and, if you're lucky, the DJ will announce the artist and title.

Second, you could also visit the homepage of the radio station and see if they have a playlist of everything played within the hour, but what if they don't have one or there are multiple unfamiliar songs listed?

The third option is to ask "Hey Siri, what's this song?" I use this ALL THE TIME and then screen-shot the convo with the intention of looking it up later and/or adding it to my iPhone. My photos are filled with screen-shot after screen-shot of songs I have saved and forgot about. If you don't have an iPhone, you can also use Shazam, which is the same company Siri uses to identify music.

Today, for the sake of music and my phone's memory storage, I am presenting a playlist of all the songs I have asked Siri to identify since the beginning of my phone's existence.

"Siri, what's this song?"

"Hmm...Let me listen."

1. "Day Like Today" by Out of Eden

2. "Capriccio Espagnol, Op. 34" by Felix Slatkin

3. "Nothing but the Blood feat. Deitrick Haddon" by Guvna B

4. "A Marshmellow World" by Seth MacFarlane

5. "How High The Moon" by Ella Fitzgerald

6. "Symphonie Sur Un Chant Montagnard Francais, Op. 25-1 Assez Lent Moderement-Anime" by Vincent D'Indy

7. "Spartacus Act II: Crassus and Aegina: Adagio" by Aram Il'yich Khachaturian

8. "Polovtsian March" by Alexander Borodin

9. "Colas Breugnon, Op. 24: Overture" by Fritz Reiner

10. "Love Song For a Savior" by Jars of Clay

11. "Concerto No. 1 in G mi for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 26: II. Adagio Ma Non troppo" by Max Bruch

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
