Music

I listen to music extremely often, whether it be on the way to school, driving in the car, or just hanging out at home. I listen to a wide variety of music, from oldies to rap. My parents and grandparents have a big influence on the music I listen to today, but as I got older, the music I heard on the radio was just as appealing as the music I grew up listening to. For example, just as many young girls in the 90′s, I went through the boy band phase. I loved N*SYNC, New Kids on the Block, and the Backstreet Boys, but also as everyone else did I grew out of that after a few years. Today, I love listening to almost everyone. A few of those artists are Simon & Garfunkel, Bruce Springsteen, The Beatles,  Demi Lovato, All Time Low, Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, A Day to Remember, Four Year Strong, Eminem, John Mayer, Rascal Flatts, Ray LaMontagne, Brandi Carlile, and Adele. My favorites change with my mood. As for the song I feel most connected to at the moment is Carrie Underwood’s Don’t Forget to Remember Me because it describes the step you take when moving out and going to college. Although I only live an hour away from home, I barely see my parents and my sister, who I am pretty close with, and I have had to deal with never seeing all of my close friends because they are all living in dorms too far away to visit often. This song seems to closely fit how I feel about being away from my family and friends, and I find myself listening to it often.
