You know how after your senior year in High School and turning eighteen, you think to yourself about all those spontaneous things you always said you would do after graduation?like jumping a cliff or driving to see grand canyon just for the heck of it? well i decided to go with my gut for once in my life and do all those during a gap year i’d take from the hustle and bustle of going to college. But like every other idea that sounds brilliant and flawless in your head, but is a complete disappointment in action, this one also started showing its true colors and flaws started appearing one after the other. everything turned out to be much more expensive than i anticipated it to be and getting a “job” to finance them started to look borderline impossible after applying to every place in the 20 miles radius and hearing a big fat “NO!” for each one of them. So the glorious gap year that i’d imagined got shortened to 4 months and Baruch became my ticket out of the boring every day rituals. it absolutely isn’t the college of my dreams just like it isn’t for so many of other students that simply explain being here with “financial reasons” , but it sure is exactly what i needed and hopefully what i’ll need to get to the places i want in life.

The playlist above is a compilation of songs that are constantly on repeat when I’m doing something, getting something done or even while unwinding or relaxing.

The playlist much like my personality consist of a little bit of everything and offers a variety of songs in  three different languages that each remind me of something or someone or even a time period in my life and by listening to them I basically revisit those memories whether sweet or bitter because I think that it’s the combination of both that makes us who we are or more precisely makes me who I am today and I wouldn’t change any piece of them.

The songs consist of old Persian party songs that remind me of my childhood, sad ones which i relate to most of the time and some English songs that are actually among some of the songs that made me interested in the English language and the american culture.these songs each represent a part of my life and therefore my personality.
