Blog Post # 1

This assignment was a tad tricky for me, for a multitude of reasons: the obvious one being the site isn’t working for me and the second being I’m not sure who I really am yet, so that being said I’m not sure of how others perceive me. I may look upon things in one light, and someone else may interpret it in a completely different perspective. And that’s totally fine! I get that, it’s all part of being human. I sure as hell don’t know what my classmates think of me, but I’m hoping it’s generally positive!

• Primadonna Girl: I picked this song because I think a lot of the time I come off as sort of a “Primadonna”, and that’s not quite the best impression give but it’s an honest one. I don’t like velcro wallets, or bugs, or food trucks, but aside from all that I’m pretty sociable.
  
• Trying to be Cool: Once more, I’m trying to be one hundred percent honest here and say, that a lot of what I do now is to be cool so that I can form friendships. They can all figure out I’m lame later on, when they’re in too deep to get rid of me.
  
• Don’t Stop Me Now: I feel as though this song plays as soon as the last class is dismissed. It’s most definitely what I feel like walking out of the building, or even after I finished a tedious assignment.
  
• Teenage Dirtbag: Whenever I make an immensely idiotic mistake, I quote this song and it usually lightens the mood. (Unless I’m with my mom. Then it doesn’t.)
  
• I’ll Make a Man Out of You: This is my theme song for Philosophy class and what helps me get through it. I pretend like I’m getting this super intense brain work out that my mind desperately needs because it’s out of shape. I use Shang to motivate me.
  
• Weight of Living pt. I: The dramatic song I play in my head when I’m unsure of my decisions over something menial, like if I should get Swedish Fish or Sun Chips during break.
  
• New York, I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down: Literally any time something mildly annoying happens, whether the train is late, or there’s obnoxious tourists taking up the entire sidewalk, I look to this song. I love New York but it also makes me want to nap for decades.
  
• We’re Going to Be Friends: I’m hoping that this is fairly straight forward. All my friends are scattered across the country, and I need new friends. Desperately. So if you’re reading this, please befriend me.
  
• Hard to Live in the City: One of those songs I use when I pretend I’m in a music video while talking down Lex. It just ups my cool factor a few decimals while it’s playing and makes me feel better about how packed the 4 train is in the morning.
  
• As I Used to Be: So, whenever someone invites me for lunch during our breaks one of two things happen: I accept or I turn it down and talk about how much homework I’m going to do while they have fun. But you know, it could always be worse because there was always an instance where I’ve been more depressed about that.
