"I want an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle!" — Ralphie, A Christmas Story

RLR Playlist Vol. 10 | December 2014 : Feel like listening to holiday pop music? This playlist has you covered. It's my favorite time of the year! I could listen to Christmas music all year round. And I really do. (Michael Buble and Dave Barnes Christmas albums being my favorite.)

When the holidays roll around it always seems like the time goes triple times its normal speed. I try to do anything holiday related every day in December to feel like I've gotten the most out of the season. I only hope you enjoy your holidays also!

"It won't matter what happens to us as long as we stay honest and accepting of each others' flaws and virtues." — Abed, Community

RLR Playlist Vol. 9 | November 2014 : Like some of you, RLR will be having a Friendsgiving! It's been in the works for a few weeks now to be honest. I've figured out the place, guest list, and deciding between a traditional dinner or a pot luck. (Decided to go with a pot luck since Friendsgiving is part "gamenight" after all.)

With all the basic stuff down, I was finally able to move onto the fun stuff like decorations and a playlist! It's something fun, laid-back, and not too distracting from all the lovely conversations taking place. Even listen to it while you're making the last touches to your dinner preps and decorations!

Have fun this holiday and don't forget that not everything has to be perfect. Just be sure to enjoy the company of your loved ones :))

"Sisters, All Hallow's Eve has become a night of frolic, where children wear costumes and run amok!" — Winifred Sanderson, Hocus Pocus

RLR Playlist Vol. 8 | October 2014 : Creepy, crawly, and things that go bump in the night. Only now is it starting to feel like autumn around here. Summer is a bit stubborn to leave.

Jump start your celebrations with this playlist made up of songs with a Halloween-like theme. And consume all things pumpkin! "#AutumnalSteez"

"Youth is in a grand flush, like the hot days of ending summer; and pleasant dreams thrall your spirit, like the smoky atmosphere that bathes the landscape of an August day."  — Donald G. Mitchell

RLR Playlist Vol. 7 | September 2014 : A little something for the kids going back to school. Or for those not in school anymore, listen to it and reminisce the days of your alma mater: rolling out of bed, trekking your way onto campus, friends, gossip, your dear old school crush, lectures, pep rallies, and all the like.

Good luck to all the students out there! Work hard, be kind, and enjoy yourself. :)

"Summer has filled her veins with light, And her warm heart is washed with noon." — Cecil Day-Lewis

RLR Playlist Vol. 5 | JULY 2014 : What ever your plans are for the next couple of months, be sure to enjoy every bit of the summer sun. I'm in love with the long days and I don't want to see it end. "Oh, the gentle caress of the summer breeze." I put together a soundtrack for my summer travels this month with upbeat, drive with the windows down music. Play it for your own summer days! :))

"In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer." - Albert Camus

RLR Playlist Vol. 1 | MARCH 2014 : The winter is starting to thaw out. It's a period of transition and brushing off the rust. Personally, it's a time of setting the past to bed. Things occur in life and you have to allow time to grieve and then move on. There's something hopeful during this time to learn from mistakes and to embark on new dreams. I'm readying myself for the warmth of the sun and lasting daylight. I'm just learning to have fun and let go.

So here's to my fellow students of life who don't know where this bizarre world will lead them but are looking forward to this journey regardless. Cheers :)
