This meme describes my freshman experience perfectly. Because of my English professor, I constantly was assigned papers and rewrites on those papers. Before I knew it my work load had piled up and consumed my whole weekend and by that I mean ruined my Monday because I procrastinate. it let me know I have to manage my time better.

I Wake up, alarm went off
Eh, hit the snooze
Alarm goes off again,
Eyes open this time but once again hit the snooze
Mom comes in and the lights flick on
“Get out of bed you go in at 8:15”
I Shower and brush my teeth
“Those sweats should do…and yea that shirt I guess”
Race to the train, catch an A and try to get a seat even though that never happens.
A to the 4 to the 6, smell getting worse and space becoming more scarce
Walk to the building and spin through the door Into school
Up the escalator to the 10th…room 145 it’s time for English…and just like that the day ends before it even starts.

I feel these songs represent only a bit of my diverse taste in music. Most of these songs are songs that depict what I find interesting in music. They either grasp my attention with meaningful or clever lyrics or appeal to me through the instrumentals. Clever punchlines along side unique beats and melodies usually catch my attention. Mac Miller’s Diablo as well as Kendrick Lamar’s Rigamortis for example, are backed by particularly unusual instrumentals. Most of these songs also exhibit skillful use of alliteration and metaphor and simile. Songs like Dance with the Devil however, take it a step further and tell a story. Although the story is graphic, it is told in such a way that leaves the listener in shock. Ultimately, I look to be left in awe by some aspect of a song, wether it be by creative lyrics, or a catchy melody etc. Music has been a part of my life from a young age and I feel this has contributed to the way I listen to songs with a keen ear, looking for what specifically i like or do not like about a song.
