Hey, I can’t make a blog post on this FRO BWC site because it says that “You do not have sufficient priviledge/s”. So do I post my first assignment here in the comments like Sydney did?
This is the site for my playlist: http://grooveshark.com/playlist/Who+I+Am/90654951
The reason I wanted to create a playlist was because I love music and can show some of who I am just based on what I listen to. My first song is an old song and my last song is a frequently new song. I put the old song first, just to give my playlist somewhat of an order.
I chose the song Before I Let Go by Maze and Frankie Beverly not based on the lyrics, but based on the happy and exciting feeling I get when it is played and for my love for old music. I also chose this song because this song is usually played during cookouts and some other events, which are social gatherings. It shows that I like being around people and that I am a family oriented type of person, even with my friends being like family as well.
I chose the song Lean On Me by the Temptations because I feel like this song shows that I personally will always be there for someone. I am a very kind hearted and caring person, and I feel that no matter who you are I don’t mind helping you out, especially when you are in need and there is no one to turn to despite the situation.
I chose the song I Was Here by Beyoncé because I want to leave a mark somewhere or in someone’s life showing that I was able to make a difference.
I chose the song Young Forever by Jay-Z because I am young and I really don’t want to get old. Since I will, I am just going to enjoy being young while it lasts and remember that with age comes wisdom.
I chose the song Ambitious Girl by Wale because I feel like I am an ambitious girl. I am determined to make myself a better person and be the best that I can be in what it is that I end up having a career in.
I chose the song Firework by Katy Perry because this is my anthem! This song makes me happy and is like an empowerment for me to know that I will come across some people who doubt me and don’t believe that I can do something, but I can prove them wrong.
I chose the song Light Up by Drake because sometimes I am surprised I have even made it this far. This song just says that sometimes I just need to celebrate my accomplishments.
I chose this song Season of Love by Rent because love never dies and it is what keeps me going. I don’t know what I would do without the support I receive from people who love me.
I chose the song Same Love by Macklemore because I want people to know that I love all types of people and that everyone is equal.
I chose the song We Can’t Stop by Miley Cyrus because I want people to know my fun, free and silly side.
spotify didn’t work for me either:
batter up – MIke stud
all i do is win-dj khaled
can’t hold us- Mckelmore
cinderella man-Eminem
dream on-aerosmith
good feeling -flo rida
kobe bryant-lil wayne
live fast die young-rick ross
my moment-meek mill
not afraid-eminem
These songs to me represent who I am and what I like. These songs represent my personality and how I live my lIfe. Songs like good feeling and my moment represent me starting at baruch college. Songs like Kobe Bryant and Cinderella Man represent my personality and how motivated I am to succeed.
I choose to do a playlist because I love the way music can express so many feelings and display a persons personality.

1.Hope- Twista ft. Faith Evans
2TLC- What About Your Friends?
3.Debussy- Clair De Lune
4.J. Cole- Crooked Smile
5.Case- Happily Ever After
6.Destiny’s Child- Survivor
7.Chrisette Michelle- Fragile
8.Iggy Azalea- Work
9.Blacked Eyed Peas- Where is the love?
10. Fun ft. Janelle Monae – We are Young
I know that I may seem fragile and small to people, but their is much more to me then what people may see at first glance. I am a young lady as well as a survivor. I may have a crooked smile to outsiders who see flaws but I work towards my happily ever after daily. I have a peaceful side to me that may be seen in my ability to remain to myself( Clair De Lune, which also expresses my piano ability and passion for music.) I constantly ask the question where is the love and hope the world will express love, in a way that I do to family and friends.
I feel that in the paragraph above I express how the songs can be related to me as a person. It highlights what many people may see and what may not be seen by those who do not know me.
It’s a bit hard for me to pick which songs that I can use, because I’m into so many genres- acoustic, soft rock, trap, dubstep, and so many more.
I was born & raised in Elmhurst, Queens, NY. I’ve always wanted to be someone like Steve Jobs. He got fired from his own company, but that didn’t stop him from sinking. He had the drive to become successful. That is what I need to become a successful businessman.
I’m a person who appreciates anything that stands in front of me, and get through obstacles by finding alternative routes to get where I want to be.
My current long term goal is to become a businessman, and a major somewhere in the business field. Probably in Investment Banking, or Business Law because these two will never go out of demand.
Here’s my list of songs that represents who I am on Spotify.

**I want to add a bit more of text to my recent post**
This ten song playlist represents me because sometimes I struggle to find reason and hope in this world, because the world has a lot of issues such as hunger, war, & so many “first world problems” and not caring about the people who are being neglected. When I listen to this song, it enlightens me to that there are more people who are in the same position as me.
I picked my songs for each person due to the big personalities that make each of us individuals. all the songs were big in their time, breaking hotspots and first places on iTunes downloads. What I created speaks to me because they’re songs I enjoy hearing to match the people I enjoy hearing from in class. T

I didn’t understand the assignment originally. I apologize.
I picked these songs that represent all sides of me. Each song has a specific memory attached which personalize it for me. Not only am I always positive (pocket full of sunshine, Brightside, no sleep) I’m also very confident and strong (she’s gonna break soon, all stars). Songs like Surrender show how I’ll succeed no matter what at baruch. Fat Bottom Girls shows how I let myself be me. All the songs have tiny meanings that cause me to relate to them.
1. Girl on Fire- Alicia Keys
2. Roar- Katy Perry
3. Where is the love – Black Eyed Peas
4. Ain’t worried about nothin’ – French Montana
5. Smile – Kirk Franklin
6. Love & Happiness – One in a million
7. I hope you dance – Lee Ann Womack
8. She got her own- NeYo
9. I wil survive – Gloria Gaynor
10. Not Afraid – Eminem
Music has always been a source of release, and it has always been the best way to express my thoughts, feelings, emotions and personality. These songs resemble the person I am, and words that I live by. The songs I chose resemble my personal self to others, in a way that I don’t necessarily have to say but I can allow the music to speak for itself.
Love & Happiness – Al Green **
http://grooveshark.com/playlist/Chillvibes/90829389
this playlists represents who i’am as a person because of the mixed genres of music that i’ve added.me being who i’am, i love diffrent types of things and understanding what what is. for example you can’t say you dont like a song unless you’ve heard it,or dont like a person until you’ve met them. so this playlist just represent how i’m a chilled understanding person with a bit of a vibrant personality.
http://grooveshark.com/playlist/Descripition+Of+Me/90946096
My selection of my playlist was based on the variety of music I like and music that has also spoken to me. I grew up going to catholic school my entire life and I lived I think a somewhat sheltered life since my parents were kind of strict. My escape was with music and the different genres and songs. To this day I still find music my escape from reality.
1.stayin alive-bee gees
2.no more drama-mary j Bligh
3.i dont wanna be-gavin degraw
4.now or never-outasight
5.empire state of mind-jayz
6.waiting on the world to change-john mayer
7.pullin me back- chingy
8.mrs officer-lil wayne
9.confessions-usher
10.99 problems-jayz
These songs are a part of my personality because they inspire me to be who I am. I look to music as a release to the real world and all the problems that I face and somehow when its over I feel like I can tackle any challenge that stands in my way.
