    This playlist has various artist and genres, which describes me since I have different sides to me. I am moody and indecisive, so I listen to different types of music depending on my mood. If I am feeling reserved or indifferent, then I may come off as pissed-off teenager, and there are other times seem innocent, look like a 12 year old and act like a 5 year old. This playlist encompasses my range of emotions and musical taste.

    I thought the music playlist is supposed to have songs of what you think others think of you and not have songs of who you really are. :O

    The eight image slideshow illustrates who I am as a person. They represent my personality, my life and my views. It may be a bit unclear, but the descriptions in the comment sections should hint at what I mean.

    This slideshow of epic proportions show how I see myself mostly and how other classmates may see me. I am a proud United States Marine. I am a giraffe enthusiast and my love for giraffes cannot be missed. I also love animals in general and wish to share my enthusiasm with those around me. I enjoy new experiences and food is no exception. I usually know where to go but get lost occasionally… in the forest. I also enjoy shopping and making a fool of myself.

    Here’s the slideshow:

    This link can only lead to one thing, and that is your mind being blown by its contents. Though I may appear to be the quiet person at first glance, I am actually a pleasantly mysterious person who often plays with words and the mind. In addition I have a distinct love for the furry creatures known as pandas, they are magnificent creatures which are to be treasured as well as life. Lastly I am who I am depending on the situation thus my personality, vernacular and maturity will sync to who I am with. These images will allow a ephemeral glance into who I really am underneath and may it be as least painful as it can be.

    I created this masterpiece to show who i think i am to everyone else. I believe the way i’ve portrayed myself to this class is just showing the exact person that i am. Therefore, this presentation shouldn’t be of any surprise…hopefully. And with that, i took the time out to create this so hope you enjoy and understand it.

    I couldn’t really decide what would best explain who I really am because the truth is I’m still trying to figure it out. I wanted to do the music playlist and the slideshow to depict how I spend my time and what I like to do with friends. I ended up doing both, hopefully what you can get out of it is that I am a happy person who likes to spend time with my friends in parties, baseball games, and just going out to eat. Those are basically the photos you are going to see. I asked my closest friends individually what song reminds them of me and this is the playlist that evolved, the second song is in Spanish, I know most of you don’t speak Spanish but what you can get out of is that it is a “merengue” a dance from my culture—very fun to dance—this type of music is played in most Spanish parties.

    My personality usually depends on my surroundings. When it’s hot, I’m busy thinking about going to a place with an air conditioner and vice verse. I need to be in a moderate temperature room in order to fully concentrate, but that’s only eighty-five percent of the time. I’m usually a confused person when people ask me questions that I don’t quite understand. The other pictures represents what I do when I’m alone or with my friends. I believe that’s what my classmates see me as. 🙂

    To my classmates I am seen as a reserved type of person. People may assume that I don’t like to talk, but it is just simply that I did not have the time to think about the discussion to be able to initiate a conversation. I am an independent person who enjoys originality in art.

    Okay. It took me a long time trying to figure out what you guys think of me and then come up with this playlist. I think this is the best way to describe me in both my view and your views. So let’s see what behind each song (anyone can’t wait?):
    1. Yup Miley, sometimes I’m homesick too
    2. I wanna live the moment 4 my life yeah
    3. Sometimes the end is difficult to face, but we still face it anyway.
    4. This is actually the official song of EURO 2012, the famous European soccer championship last summer!
    5. One of my favorite genre is dubstep, and I wanna dance (but I don’t know how to =”=)
    6. I’m an international dude and I want to be loved internationally haha!
    7. Why am I always late? Maybe I’m too lazy to get up (need to fix this 🙁 )
    8. When the sh*t takes each of us down, just forget it and go on
    9. To make everything is to keep calm and be happy all the time
    10. JUST NEVER GIVE UP. Period
    I really hope that this playlist is a success as a description of me. Thank u all for reading!

    My classmates have only saw me for couple of weeks. People are convince that I am Spanish and talk to me in Spanish everyday but I am actually Indian. I am always on time, matter of fact I might be too early. I am always talking to people so people might think I am friendly and confident (I am!). I love talking about history, politics or travel so people think I want to be a politician but I want to be an accountant.

    I’m not a loud, loquacious person, so I don’t think people have gotten to know me well. Critical thinking on vast subjects is my thing. All of these things are awesome: chess, tennis, Frisbee, apples with peanut butter. The greatest sitcom of all time is Seinfeld. Without further ado, here’s a compiled slideshow of things I like.

    This slideshow represents who I am because at first glance, everyone assumes that I’m innocent, shy, and very smart. In some ways, they are very much correct. I am indeed very shy. However, after getting to know me and after I become more comfortable, people find that I’m not all that shy. People still say that I’m innocent even after meeting the true me though. I’m not very smart either, but I do care an awful lot about my grades. I tend to try very hard in school and preach to others to do the same. People also believe that I act very childish and that’s why I have a picture of me hugging a Pikachu. Based on my appearance and how I act, I’ve also been told that I’m very girly and that is also true to a certain extent. I’m not like that at home; I’m actually very lazy and that’s why there’s a picture of a cat lazing around. I also need a lot of personal space and that’s why it’s sometimes hard for people to get to close to me. I like to be independent; I hate relying on others.

    I decided to make a song playlist, and here’s what I came up with.

    I’m a traveler at heart, I live for the next sunrise and horizon so that’s what I tried to get across in what I put up. And if you haven’t already noticed, I don’t change for anyone. No matter what I’ll just keep going on like everything is fine, because it it. On top of that, I’m stubborn as all hell. Flying Spaghetti Monster have mercy on anyone who gets me mad, because I sure won’t.

    http://grooveshark.com/playlist/What+People+Think+Of+Me/77956239
    I chose to do a playlist of songs I think represent the person people view me as. My first song is Imagine remade by Avril Lavigne. I chose it because people tend to think I’m a dreamer with crazy thoughts and aspirations. I also chose this version because it’s an old song done in a new and youthful way and someone once told me I was an old soul in a young body. The next song is Out Tonight from my favorite musical Rent. It is an upbeat, energetic flirtatious, young, and free-spirited song which I am during my hyper moments, usually when school is over. Then I chose Disney’s Lady and the Tramp classic, Bella Notte because when I talk about my boyfriend, I tend to sound really romantic and this song reminds me of an easy-going romance that I think I have and express. To express my nerdy side I chose the Big Bang Theory by the Barenaked Ladies because it’s scientific and randomly knowledge. I read a lot so my mind has a bunch of random facts that always slips out and people automatically give me the “you’re a nerd” look. I then added Count on Me by Bruno Mars because I’m a very loyal and caring person and I like listening to people’s problems and helping them through hard times; I would rather place situations in a more positive light than let the person become overwhelmed with the negatives. I take friendship very seriously and I think that’s what this song is about. Next is Eenie Meenie by Justin Bieber purely because of the first line which says, “She’s indecisive, she can’t decide.” I am such an indecisive person and I have so many ideas that I cannot choose one and people automatically notice that about me when they ask me what I want to eat or where I want to go. Another song is Shy Ronnie 2 by Lonely Island and Rihanna. I chose it because it, like me, does not take itself seriously and is just a funny and goofy song with a slightly provocative sense of humor which just nails me on the head. Then I added I Can Go The Distance from Disney’s Hercules because people find that I’m determined and, at times, an overachiever. My last Disney song is from the Lion King and it’s Hakuna Matata because it’s care-free and childish which is an essence I give off when I’m not busy or overworked. Lastly is Naive by the Kooks which is a song about a nice, sweet girl who is influenced to make dumb decisions. Everyone who first meets me thinks I’m really nice and polite and can tell I’m generous and caring and that I see the best in people which, when I’m influenced by the wrong people I misjudged, makes me naive. Hopefully this gave you some incite on who I am and what people think about me.

    The slideshow illustrates what I like and what I do in general. I like to read The Economist, watch movies, watch TED, listen to musics, travel with my family, etc. I always dream of working at Goldman Sachs. Hope my dream will come true.

    I enjoy trance, progressive house, and folk rock because each genre is uplifting and relaxing. In my normal state I am generally seeking some sort of contentment, and the music I listen to reflects that.
