This brutal yet exhilarating ride called, Life.

A soundtrack to listen to for the ride.

Acknowledgements

I’d like to thank my friends and family who are always there for me no matter what. You guys literally make up most of my soundtrack. I’d also like to thank Professor Nelson for making my ENGL 1101 experience a lot better than I thought it would be.

Having divorced parents means a lot of traveling back and forth. Music was always playing during these times. When I was young my mom used to have this black Jetta and she would always blast the music. I specifically remember I Can’t Get You Out Of My Head playing multiple times. It’s such an upbeat song and I get very nostalgic when listening to it.

My cousin Katelynn and I have always been extremely close. We would go to each others house almost every weekend. I remember Avril Lavigne always playing whenever we were together. We would put on singing shows to Sk8er Boi, Girlfriend, and so many others. My cousin is basically a sister to me and every time I hear an Avril Lavigne song I’m flooded with great memories.

Lana Del Rey is one of my favorite artist of all time. Her music can provide an array of feelings to her listeners which is why she is so different. Video Games has a special place in my heart as it was one of the first songs I ever heard by her. It captured me, making me into a life-long fan. It’s a beautiful song that I’d love to dedicate to a special person one day.

This song is for my dearest Memaw that passed away last year around this time. She was a feisty and caring great-grandmother who could always put a smile on your face. She impacted so many of her family member lives including mine. I would do anything to be able to see and speak to her again.

“Always trying to keep warm, when you're the sun“

Love you forever Memaw

After going through a tough breakup, The Rain basically summed up my feelings. I related to this song in which I would “lie around and wait for a heart that I used to know” even though I knew nothing would happen. Realizing that you’ve given all your love to that one person who is now no longer in your life sucks , ALOT. Many good memories came out of that relationship and to know that it is just a thing of the past is hurtful. However, everything happens for a reason, and you must learn to just continue on with life.

I've given all my love to you

I can’t help but smile every time I hear this song. No Scrubs is a song that automatically reminds me of my best friend Amber and our crazy times together. We have some of the greatest times together because we’re basically the same person. She has made such a big impact on my life and I’m so grateful for her. Thank you for always being there for me.

I love and miss you best friend!

Coming to college you get to see and meet new faces all of the time. Someone New by Hozier is one of my favorite songs because it describes my feelings towards all the new experiences, people, and environment I have fallen in love with since coming to college.

And so I fall in love just a little ol' little bit Every day with someone new

This fight song is something I will never forget. My highschool’s fight song was basically a replica of this, and after being apart of the Southern Pride Marching Band it’s forever ingrained into me. Band has been such a big part of my life and I am forever grateful for all the memories it has provided me with.
