Starting freshman year in College, entering a new environment it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and sometimes alone. I just got through a bad break up with a guy i was dating for a year and a half, and most of these songs represent who I am now. Music is food for the ears and the first half of these songs got me through a really tough time. They comfort me, make me happy and ensure me that things will be okay. The second half of these songs are just songs that represent me. These are songs i drive to, chill out to. These songs are happy and fun songs that friends and i listen to then just break out dancing. I am a supportive, compassionate friend and these songs represent that as well. i know how to be there for my friends and always lend a shoulder to cry on; with that said i can also be crazy wild and fun and the last half of the songs represent the carefree wild girl within me. I love the power of songs and lyrics because when someone hears a song for the first time they can instantly think one thing, but once they analyze the lyrics and listen to the song over and over a whole new meaning arises; i feel like thats the same for many people including me- people meet you and instantly, based on first impressions make assumptions; but there is always more than meets the eye and once someone gets to know you better its like listening to a song over and over and finding deeper, more substantial meaning.
