To start off, I’m really shy when I first meet new people. However, as time goes on, I tend to blend in with the environment and my peers. Soon I’ll be more of an extrovert than an introvert. I’m usually happy, easy-going and sometimes, even carefree. A big part of me is persistence and stubbornness.
I listen to a wide range of music, including, hip hop, pop, techno. The songs listed here portray some aspects of my personality. The songs may also reflect upon my erratic behaviors. I can be really calm on some days and lack the energy to do anything. But on other days, I may be the hype-man for my “squad” of friends. By this I mean that it’s usually me who’s really talkative and throwing jokes in my clique. I’m just really there to entertain them and myself. I’m there to keep them good company.
- Fix You – Coldplay
I’d hate to give up and I always find ways to motivate myself to keep moving forward. However, if I do fail to succeed; I’d tend to look back on what I did wrong. I call it “reflecting” on my actions.
2. Berzerk – Eminem
I’m really wild sometimes and like to party a lot.
3. Lose Yourself – Eminem
Whatever I do, I would always want to give my best so that I can make sure to succeed. Once you dedicate yourself to whatever you’re doing, you lose consciousness of your surroundings. I immense myself into things I want to succeed on.
4. N*ggas in Paris – Jay Z & Kanye West
I’m also a huge basketball fan and I love to play basketball myself. I would say I’m a sports person, but I’m really scrawny to call myself athletic. I follow the New York Knicks. I usually play a lot of pick-up games with friends and I hope to try out the new gyms at Baruch.
5. Thrift Shop – Macklemore
I guess I like to spend money while saving. This reminds me of what I’ve been doing at Baruch lately: buying $1 pizzas for lunch. I’m also the guy who would show up on holiday sales to catch the cheap deals. Four t-shirts for 10$ each are the best deals.
6. Worst Behavior – Drake
There are times where I just think about whom I am connected to in society and who I am related to.
7. Work Hard Play Hard – Wiz Khalifa
I’m a hard worker and student. But education is not the only thing in life. While studying and working hard, I also relax and chill a lot.
8. What I’ve Done – Linkin Park
There are times where I’m really clumsy and I cause a huge screw-up. I really did wish I could just erase myself and escape from reality for a moment to take a breath.
9. Remember the Name – Fort Minor
I guess I know myself in and out, including my strengths and weaknesses. There is a time to give it all in and there is also a time to cut back the losses.
10. Til Collaspe – Eminem
I’m a really persistent, patient and obstinate guy. I won’t stop until I reach my goals.
Having known most of your playlist songs, it was easy to recall each song as I read your post. I totally understand how at first you may be shy and quiet but once people get to know you, you’re more outgoing and loud. I’m the exact same way. So thank you for sharing who you are through your songs! Most of your songs gear towards your work ethics and your personality. It’s great that you’re hard working and know when to get down to business and when it’s time to play. Knowing your limits will definitely come in play throughout your college life, and even past that. Your first song, right off the bat, really sets the tone of how you are. You not only are aware of your mistakes, but you take time to learn from them, which then motivates yourself to do better next time. Your choice of songs and the descriptions that you paired them with make a perfect match. It’s great that you’re sharing your attitude towards life and who you are with your fellow classmates. Thank you Stephen!
