Well I think this pretty much sums up how it was for me this semester.

I feel like I was just kinda all over the place, because I was adjusting to the college life; with all the homework, assignments, tests, etc. And it kinda drove me crazy for a while. So whenever I had a free day, I would always ask myself this question (I would actually make this face too). Luckily, I met some amazing people that helped me out and made this college experience so much better. Everything has its ups and downs, especially at this stage of a person’s life, but I’m glad to say that I wouldn’t change anything about it.

Frida’s Playlist

I don’t know why, but this wasn’t as easy as i thought it would be. I kept putting my favorite songs in my playlist, but the assignment was to choose 10 songs that speak who you are, so my final product was my best attempt at completing this task. Enjoyyyy

Anywayssss, the first two songs describe my current social lifestyle, and what I consider to be good music. I LOVE HOUSE MUSIC. I go to raves and music festivals from time to time because I enjoy the vibe from the crowd, how everybody seems so carefree and just has a good time. If you’ve heard the term “PLUR” – it means: Peace, Love, Unity and Respect; and that’s what all raveheads live by and I feel like that’s the best way to describe MY way of life.

The next two songs are songs that make me wanna get up and do a happy dance (: . I could just be in my room by myself and dance, jump, sway, lip sing, or be in public with friends and do the same thing, not caring, because these songs just make me happy. When I’m comfortable with people I could be really goofy and these songs help me bring that out . . . so watch out.

Michael Jackson is one of the best artists of all time, no doubt about that, he is not my idol but he definitely was the gateway path that made me love pop music. I grew up listening to this guy, and his songs never get old, I guess this just shows you guys that I still appreciate music that’s not my from time, that I am open minded to many things. I will always give an idea or thought a chance because a close minded person never gets too far in my opinion.

I love New York City, it has made me who I am and this city will always have a special place in my heart. Yes, sometimes I feel like punching people in the face for being so rude, or wonder how life is in other cities, but then I remember that this is one of the greatest cities in the world, where dreams become reality, where buildings touch the skies, where diverse cultures live together. I feel like “Marry the Night” by Lady Gaga is a perfect representation of how I feel about the Concrete Jungle., and I have to say that it is a really big part of me.

The rest of the playlist are songs that just calm me down; songs that I listen to while I reminisce when I’m at Starbucks, songs that reflect my present life, songs that make me think of the future.

I am PLUR. I tend to be goofy. I have an open-mind. I love NYC. I cherish memories that were made, are being made and will be made. That is Frida Montanez.
