Playing music, listening to music, making music, I love it all. I listen to a variety of genres and on my laptop I actually have several playlists that I put together. All of the playlists are a little different from each other. My taste in music changes frequently depending on how I feel and depends usually on what I am doing, whether it is working out, driving, studying, dancing, singing, or just chilling with my friends. As for making music, I actually received a guitar a couple Christmas's back and am finally trying to find time to learn how to play. However, with a busy schedule, there's hardly any time, and when you have small fingers like me, it doesn't make it any easier. I love almost all music, from alternative to funk to rap.

I actually had quite a difficult time putting together a playlist for this assignment because there was just so much to choose from! But I decided to go with this list of songs mainly because I currently just really like them and I usually listen to these songs when I’m either studying, chilling with my sister, or jam to them whenever I’m in my car. Some of these songs are also some of my favorite because they bring back memories to a certain day, or remind me of someone.  My sister is also really into music and actually got me into liking many of the bands. I have not been to very many concerts but my sister and I are actually trying to save up some money to go to a concert sometime soon! 

Some of the things people may or may not learn about me through these songs is that I am a positive person when I’m around others, ambitious, outgoing, I love music and I like to have fun! I am ambitious yet still so confused with the things around me and I am still trying to figure myself out. Growing up to become an adult and figuring myself out has been such a big part of my life, especially this past year, and these songs, along with many others, I guess you can say indicate something larger-- my connection to my surroundings and myself. I have set goals for myself to help me grow and with these goals, they give me a purpose keep me moving, and motivate me to work hard at everything I do.

Let me know what you guys think of the list! (:
