My Soundtrack

        It was really hard for me to think of 5 songs that describe my life, so I mixed it up. Some of these songs are songs that bring up a lot of memories, have a great message, or just really fun listening to. Here they are:  

1. The Best Day of My Life-American Authors 


        A wave of nostalgia always hits me every time I hear the first notes of this song. The song takes me back to fourth grade when it actually came out. I remember being obsessed with it at the time, especially since we were playing the song on instruments in music class. It also causes me to remember so many memories of fourth-grade, like the Red Riding Hood Play, the Bowling Party, and the awards assembly at the end of the year. 

2. Bibia Be Ye Ye-Ed Sheeran 


        One lyric of this song "Se enioma enko ye, Bibia Be Ye Ye" translates to "If things aren't going well, everything will be all right". The song has a similar message to "Don't worry, be happy" that always helps me out whenever I'm feeling stressed. The uplifting beat also always puts me in a good mood, which is why I love listening to it.

3. Who's Laughing Now-Jessie J 


        This song reminds so much of my childhood, around first or second grade. My sister had introduced me to it at first, and I absolutely loved it. I must've played the music video at least 1,000 times, even as a young 8-year-old.  
        

4. Good Old Days- Macklemore ft. Kesha 


        The lyrics to this song are so relatable and truthful. The vocalists sing about the "Good Old Days" and how they wish they didn't take them for advantage. The song reminds me that I shouldn't be taking advantage of my time, and that I should enjoy my life as a young eighth-grader.

5. I Lived-One Republic 


        Did you know that the writer of this song wrote it for his child? The song is about living life to the fullest, and he wanted his kid to not be afraid of taking risks and trying new things. The lyrics are really thought out, and my favorite one is "With every broken bone, I swear I lived." This means that even though something might seem like it turned out really bad, you're still living and breathing, so it's really not that bad. The song has a great message, and it's really inspirational too. 

Even though these songs don't really "describe" my life, they are important to me and a play a big  part of my life.

My Childhood Shows and Toys

Image
                Do you remember the Backyardigans? Dora the Explorer? Teletubbies? These are some of the shows that were popular when I was younger, but there were a lot more I spent my time watching.          One of my favorite shows was Kim Possible. I fell in love with the show when I was around 6 or 7 years old, and I used to play a game where I acted like I was Kim Possible. I stopped evil villains in their tracks, and still attended "high-school" (which was only a couple minutes long).  But, I eventually got bored of this game because there was no one to play with and no evil villain  to defeat.         But I still loved the show and the characters. My favorite character was the main character, Kim Possible, because I thought she was really cool, and I kind of looked up to her.   A toy that reminds me of my childhood was my LeapFrog Explorer.  When I was 4 years old, ...

The NFL and Police Brutality

Image
        It's 2017. By now prejudice and racism against other people should end in the U.S., but the very little progress we made had retreated.          Starting off with Colin Kaepernick, NFL players have been standing up (more like kneeling down) against this issue by taking a knee during the National Anthem instead of what is expected. The peaceful protest gained more popularity when  Donald Trump commented on it, saying that the NFL players that kneeled down should be kicked out of the stadium.          There are many different opinions on this. Some people are saying that kneeling before the flag is disrespectful, which is why they shouldn't do it. But I understand why they would, considering what is going on in the U.S. such as police brutality and the Charleston incident.          Going back to the tweet from Donald Trump, saying that NFL players like Kaepernick should ...

Some Shows You Must Watch on Netflix

        I can't think of only  one show that is a great binge, so I'll name a few. Just remember, these are only 3 shows of the many that could be named right now.         The first show, which a lot of people are probably writing about, is Stranger Things. Even though  I haven't had the time to watch Season Two of it yet, the first season was really good, and I expect Season Two to be better. The show is about a 12-year old boy, Will, who goes missing. His friends and his family try to find him and discover that the government and supernatural forces have something to do with his disappearance. I don't want to get into it too much because I'll probably give away spoilers, but it gets really good.         If you like crime TV shows, the next show is for you. My dad would always be watching Prison Break when I was around 9 years old, and I would always just watch along with him, but I never really understoo...
