junior year

well this is the first year i have actually cared about school or tried at all. it has been very stressful but very rewarding at the same time, its crazy what a positive impact homework can have on your grade when you actually do it! although i would still describe myself as a lazy smart kid, at least i actually did my homework this year. also, this year i feel that i have gained better relationships with more of my teachers. moving away from my performance in school, i feel that this year i made fewer stupid decisions. freshman and sophomore year i guess i just didnt use my brain at all but i made a lot of stupid decisions. i am proud to say that this year i have not made as many stupid decisions and that is great. this summer i am going to my dad's house in florida, my aunt and uncles in california, my farm in tennessee, and my summer house in maryland, as well as the oshkosh airshow in wisconsin. these are things that i do every summer and i always look forward to all of them, i just wish summer was longer! as for senior year i plan to get all A's both semesters.

perfect playlist

in light of the end of the year, this is the perfect group of songs for a graduation or a graduation party

1. Graduation-Vitamin C

• This song is perfect for a graduation, oviously because of the name it talks about how as we move on      with our lives we will always remember the times we had with our best friends in high school

2. I'm Not Gonna Cry-Corey Smith

• This song is perfect for a graduation because it talks about how as you turn the tassle from one side of your graduation cap to the other you begin to grow apart from your highschool friends and move on to the next stage of your life

3. You're Gonna Miss This-Trace Adkins

• This song is perfect for a graduation because it talks about how everyone is so anxious to get older and most of us wish our lives away but once we are old we miss when we were young even the hard times

4. For Good-Wicked

•  This song is perfect for a graduation because it talks about the impact that a person has on another person's life and how they will never be the same because of the impact that person has on them. This is especially perfect for gradualtion because all of our friends and enimies we have made in high school shape us into the person we are today

5. I Hope You Dance-Lee Ann Womack

• This song is perfect for graduation because it talks about always taking chances in life and not always sitting on the side lines and watching it pass you by but getting up and really "dancing" through life

(i had to help some of my friends put together slideshows for their graduation parties recently that is why i chose this)

how to make a nutella roll up

craving chocolate but want to be semi-healthy? never fear the nutella roll up is here! but how do you make a nutella roll up you ask? well i will tell you. first you get a tortilla, and if it has been refrigerated heat it up for 10 seconds. then get out the nutella and spread a liberal amount of nutella onto the tortilla. after this is completed it is time to roll up the nutella roll up, just roll it, no special directions for the part. next, microwave it for 10 more seconds so the nutella melts a little and it becomes the perfect snack. this really isnt healthy at all but it tastes good, if you like nutella i am sure you will like this. this is perfect for any meal of the day, breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, a snack, sometimes i eat it for all my meals (just kidding) but it is really good.

Almost There

It is absolutely ridiculous how fast second semester has gone by, or junior year in general. It was (surprisingly) a good year for the most part. I managed to keep my grades up for the most part in all of my classes. I did not, however, meet my goal of not procrastinating and leaving things until the last possible minute. For example, this post.. Which was due two weeks ago. I have learned though that that doesn't always work and that I can not leave stuff for until I get to school. I have learned a lot this year- about school subjects, my friends, the people around me, and myself. I have seen different sides of different people and created new friendships throughout the year, and learned to appreciate them more. I also got more homework this year than I ever have before in my life, which is one of the main reasons I am so excited that there are only 13 more days left of school.
That, and I can't wait for summer. I am anxious to officially start my mentoring project, which I finally figured out. One of my (many many many) cousins is coming to stay with us over the summer and I can not put into words how excited I am for her to get here and get to spend time with her.( It's been 3 years. ) And in July, we will have a French Exchange Student stay with us. (Her name is Lise and she's super nice!) Throughout the entire summer though, I will be volunteering at UK Hospital, something that I've wanted to do the past few years but have been unable to.
I am very much looking forward to summer. And to coming back to school as a Senior.... But I don't want to think about coming back to school just yet.
So I'll leave it at that.
This is cheesy but thank you guys so much for an awesome English class!
And I am very sorry for all of you that actually read this entire post (especially those of you that hate parentheses...)

School's out for Summer

Junior year was stressful for me but most of high school has been stressful- school wise. I became a part of a newly established but highly accomplished sustainability council. There were multiple changes going on at my church, which caused me to take more charge as my role as youth representative. I started driving and driving with my mother is no joy ride. It was the second year as being an 'only child' and having my oldest brother, who typically lives 45 minutes away, gone for all of second semester just meant even less visiting and communication with them. Figuring out my mentoring project for next year while finishing this year was a juggling act. Applying for jobs and getting a steady 3 hour a week job that I will have as long as I want were good and stressful. Planning my summer is exciting and at the same time overwhelming. I came into this year knowing it is the most important year to colleges and the fact that I want to apply early action puts all the more pressure on this school year. As far as grades I think I accomplished my goal there. I am not pleased with how I performed in Spanish first semester but I am not completely surprised. I am awful at Spanish. But I have plans to fix that grade over the summer. Once that is fixed I think my Junior year transcript will read the way I want it to. Many people would look at it and say how could you feel accomplished but there are double the people that would wish they had the same as mine. Knowing myself the grades I earned show accomplishment. As far as having everything prepared and ready for applying, I still need to work on my standardized test scores. I am slowly but steadily making strides to the score that I want but I am not there yet. It will always be in the back of my mind and cause me stress until I reach the ball park score I want and I know I can apply to the schools I am interested in with confidence. One thing I can cross off the to do list is college visits. Over spring break I visited 5 in 3 days; not too shabby. I am not completely done with the college search, I would like to take one more glance around to make sure I'm not crossing any worth while colleges off the list.
I am nervous but also can't wait to start my mentoring project. It is something I am passionate about but it could also make or break my career path decision. I plan to get as many hours as possible completed in the summer that way I don't have to crunch it all into the school year and I can decide what college to attend with confidence that this is what I want to become.
This all sounds like everything lined up perfectly and I accomplished everything I wanted. My met my goal as of grades, I surly didn't exceed them. I am still narrowing down my college search but only to widen it again to see if I narrowed it down to quickly. Many days through out my summer will be spent researching colleges and trying to become an ACT expert.
My final piece of information is something I am so excited for but also embarrassed to admit. Once I get my restricted license I can buy a(my) car! I have it picked out and it's got my name on it; I currently refer to it as my baby. It will make my senior year so much easier. Dealing with mentoring hours, going to work (if I get my car soon enough I could get three jobs in the summer, do I hear $$chaching$$), going to and from my parents houses, and not waiting at school until nearly closing time everyday.
I'd say I had a pretty successful Junior year but I'm hoping for an even more successful Senior year.

Au Revoir Mr. Logsdon, I have enjoyed blog posts more than you'd realize. They get me thinking and I have seen writing in a new light. Keep up the good prompts. Thanks!

Perfect Playlist

My mom has always been a fan of clean. In Colombia we had Maria Helena and she made that happen for us. Then we moved to the States and we ran out of luck in that department. So every Saturday ever since, we have a big (too big, if you ask me) part of our day doing chores. And tiring and annoying as chores can be, music makes them bearable. So here is my Chores Playlist:

(All of these songs are going to be in Spanish, so... Just a heads up..)

I realize that four out of five of these songs are old (all but the last one) but I think that's part of why I like them so much. At home, it wouldn't be a party without them. 

1. Ojala (Silvio Rodriquez) - I honestly can't explain why I like this song so much or how it makes chores easier to handle. The lyrics are poetic and wonderful and touching and all that good stuff. I think this is the slowest song on this playlist though. It's calming but it doesn't put you to sleep, which would be bad while doing chores. But this song is just beautiful overall. 
2. No Te Das Cuenta (Alberto Cortez) - Okay. There are no words for how much I love this song. I think I've listened to it a million and one times but I love it more every time. Every day I go to school in the United States and I am around English all day long and during the week I do my homework in English until 8 or 9. During chores, I am around my family who speaks Spanish to me all the time with (mostly) Colombian music blasting. And I've always liked that. This song talks about how no matter how long you're in the United States, you will always be Colombian or Mexican or Venezuelan. So I guess this song has always rung true to me and that's why I love it so much. 
3. Cali Pachanguero (Grupo Niche) - This song kind of goes along with the one above except it's specific to Cali, a city in the Valley (I think that's how you'd translate that.) Salsa always seems to brighten my mood too. So I guess that helps make it a favorite too. And it's a song that you can dance to easily while doing chores. 
4. Un Millon de Amigos (Roberto Carlos) - I LOVE THIS GUY'S VOICE. Just sayin'. Anyways. The message of this song is probably what I like the most about it. It talks about the beautiful thing that is friendship and how it makes you stronger and "makes it easier to sing louder." Okay. I'm not going to try to translate. It's better in Spanish. This song is fun, it's sweet, and it's upbeat-ish, perfect for pushing me to finish chores.
5. Volvi a Nacer (Carlos Vives) - I got introduced to this song back in December and I don't think I've stopped listening to it since. And as cheesy as this sounds, it's about the beautiful, amazing kind of love that people dream about. That, and it's fun to sing into my broom-mic. So there's that. 

I could add about 100 more songs to this playlist and not have noted them all. There are too many. Not only that, most of them don't even have words and the only reason they make the playlist is because they're fun to dance to. But...  These are just a few of this Saturday's favorites. 

END OF THE YEAR by austin

As junior year began I had academic and athletic goals. Those goals were met in different ways on both fronts. Academically I wanted to carry mostly A's, which I did, and get solid test scores which I did. So, actually I think I did meet my goals, but my processes of getting there were less than ideal. Athletically I wanted to have committed by now, actually I wanted to have committed before the year began, but that didn't happen. However, through dealing with controlling the uncontrollable world of recruiting, I have found myself still uncommitted, but being given athletic opportunities I once deemed unreachable. So, I have gotten closer to reaching my athletic goals, but not quite there yet, and again the road was quite different then I had imagined. Socially, I didn't have any goals, but rather morals. I would say I definitely stuck to my morals throughout the entire year. As far as failures go, I screwed up a bunch, but I can't think of a precise time. Let's just leave it with me being incredibly happy Junior year is over, well besides the daunting AP exams, and I can't say I ever want to live the academia of this year over again.

This is it

Junior year
If only I could like history more. Dont procrastinate (for too long).  Know when to ask for help. Make friends with teachers.
I loved my teachers. Its rare to have a year when you like all of them, but it happened. I am glad I liked them All because it allowed me to get to know them as more the teachers: as real people.  And they like it when you know they arent just tied to the school.

Whats next
After the next few weeks of testing, I get to research teaching tool and lesson plans and learning games so that I may successfully teach kids and adults spanish in my community.  I am going to the beach with freddie and his family for a week, and I might  get my family to take us to florida.  I might go to a concert or two, but I'm mostly planning on spending my summer relaxing and researching colleges. I might go on a few tours of campuses, and ill definitely seek out my moms college admin buddies.

Senior year
5 ap classes and one advance
I do not want to take a break from the challenge of ap courses, but I want to take classes I know I will enjoy.  This year will be about me and what I like, notwjats required of me.

I hope to stay in contact with my teachers like my mom did. I like them too much to let them stop teaching me.

Junior Year

Wow. I can't believe that I can already make a reflective blog post about my junior year. I could go on and on about how it seems like just yesterday I was starting my first day of freshman year, but I'm sure a lot of others have already written about that. This year has been one for the books and I really am (sort of) sad to see it come to a close. First off, it wasn't nearly as difficult as other people made it out to be. Yeah, sometimes I had a lot of homework, but the overall workload and rigor of my classes was definitely manageable. I was honestly expecting to hate my life after a couple of months, but that surely wasn't the case. One of the most important reasons for this, I believe, was the relationships that I have with my friends. I was able to strengthen many of the relationships that I already had with some students, allowing me to open up more to others, which is something I've never been comfortable doing. On top of that, I have formed amazing relationships with students that I hadn't been able to get to know before this year. In previous years, I was able to arrange my class schedule so that I have a lot of classes with my close friends whom I'm comfortable with (sophomore year, I had five classes with Meredith Scroggin... Yikes. (jkjkjk) (kind of)). This year, I didn't have my closest friends in all my classes, which allowed me to spend more time with awesome people I didn't know as well, but now luckily do. Also, I legitimately like all of my teachers this year. Usually, there have been one or two teachers each year who weren't my favorite, but this year, I honestly enjoy being in each one of their classes. Thankfully, I'll have the privilege of having classes with a few of my teachers from this year during my senior year. Senior year. I will be a senior in a month. I can say that to myself over and over again and still not believe it. I am so looking forward to next year and I know that it'll be just as good, if not much better than this year has been. I can't wait to see what that future holds for me and for all of my fantastic classmates.

Junior Year

Successes? Does surviving count? Everyone told me that junior year was the hardest and they were definitely right. But honestly my successes aren't primarily in the class room this year. (Dont tell my parents I said that) But, my biggest success has been enjoying this year and enjoying all of my friends, new and old. I can definitely say this has been my favorite year of high school so far and hopefully next year is even better, but I will get to that later.

 As for failures, there are a few tests that come to mind that were literal failures.... But other than that I really can't think of anything. That being said, with all of the AP tests and finals coming up there are plenty of opportunities for me to change that. 

Lessons Learned? Dont procrastinate. (I havent actually "Learned" that one yet, but I am working on it).

Risks taken? I cant think of any of the top of my head... And my first instinct is to say "Unfortunately, I have lived a mundane junior year with no risks taken at all." But thats not exactly true. I may have not taken any huge risks but my year has not been mundane, I have had some of the best times of my life without really risking anything major. So I guess I would re-word my response to say, "Fortunately, I have been able to have a great, exciting, year without putting it all on the line."

 This summer is going to be good. There is really nothing more to say. I have an amazing group of friends and there is no doubt we will do amazing things together.

Next year will be great too. Hopefully it will be even better than this year, as I was saying earlier. And maybe  I will take a few risks, maybe not, but one thing for certain is that it will be a year to remember.

Last post of the year!

My junior year has been a crazy year. A lot has happened; there has been many memorable moments. There have been ups and downs, and I have learned lessons from every one. Some of my successes have been getting into Youth Salute, inducted into NHS, getting first chair of the cello section in orchestra, maintaining great friends, and making amazing new ones. At the same time however, I've had some failures, like getting a few bad grades, and losing some good friends. One of the main lessons that I learned is that procrastination gets you nowhere. On one of our earlier blog posts I said that one of my goals was to not procrastinate...but that obviously didn't happen.
Seeing as how this year is almost over, I'm definitely looking forward to summer. I hope to do some volunteer work with Saint Joseph, while also working at Chick-fil-A all the time, and trying to get in some hours for my mentoring project. And in the midst of all of this, I still want to try to get in time at the pool or going on vacation.
For next year, I'm only taking three AP classes and two advanced, so the year isn't going to be too hard. I'm really looking forward to it, but it's crazy to think that we're already almost graduating high school.

junior year --anderson

Well, its almost over. Junior year was neither a success nor a fail. For the most part, just like every other year of high school so far.  But i did majorly fail on the whole goal of reading the apush book. whoops! First semester went a lot better grade wise than this one though. Lesson learned? I really should do all of the socratic seminars and take more notes in apush. Over the summer i will be working as a lifeguard at woodland. I will be taking a scuba diving trip in june. Going to portugal in july. And i will be taking as many different types of art workshops as i can. Senior year i want to have finally decide whether i will be going to college or take a year off and be confident in my choice. I want to focus more on school work and continue to raise my gpa so i can have more options for my future. 

Junior Year

I just can’t get over how strange it is that I am almost a senior in high school. When I was a freshman I remember thinking that the seniors were so, I don’t even know, I guess…old. And now that I am almost there at senior year I cannot grasp how quickly time has gone by. I still feel like that freshman walking into school for the first time. I have had a good junior year, a busy year, but a good one. One thing that hit me this year is how quickly college is approaching and how real my outside of high school life is becoming. When you are in your first two years of high school it feels like high school will never end, and now, as an almost-senior, graduation seems to be coming too quickly. I guess it’s just a natural downwards slope, and we juniors are already half way down the hill. Overall, junior year has been a great experience, I have learned a lot; but I sure can’t wait for this summer to start!

Sophia-The past, present and future.

This year has been a bunch of small things that have turned out to be boom-in-your-face-changes and successes and failures. I didn’t ever think that last year changed me that much but it did. So did this year. I never noticed till after the fact but that’s pretty much how it always is with me. Some of my small successes were making new buddies. There are some lovely people going to Henry Clay and I have been kicking myself for not realizing that fully freshman year. I also managed to make cinnamon rolls for the first time ever. The kind with yeast-you do not understand my struggles with yeast and for once I won. It was amazing. I hate to say that I've had true failures because I try to be the lessons learned kinda gal. I guess my biggest failure is not keeping up with my friends from last year like I should. I'm sad about that. One lesson that I've known for a while but is continuing to slap me in the face and remind me of itself is that it’s the memories you make that matter and those are your biggest successes. This is real, I know because my name is Sophia and I'm wise. That's a lie. Its because I'm super duper lucky. I'm not sure if I’ve taken any real risks. I've taken trips not risks and that’s fine with me this year. As for mistakes there are many small things that dont even add up to a big thing. The only thing that I guess is close is this darn fundraising project, which I hate. At least I know now that I should never ever do this again. As for summer, I think I get to see my cousins from England and I am pumped.  I am also in the processes of using my persuasive skills to convince my mother to make a road trip out of her trip to Santa Fe and to let me go. Letting me go is the hard part but I am working hard on it and I think she is faltering. For the rest of high school and on I hope I can just remember my lesson learned and make fantabulous memories. Because to have them is the best thing ever.

My Junior Year

Junior year has been stressful. The year has been filled with constant, overwhelming work and it's not even over. It's been a combination of intense intellectual stress and planning for next year or college. Although, I had always heard that this year was the hardest year of high school and I just never took heed of the warnings. This year hit me hard and greatly surprised me. This summer I already have an internship lined up that will get me 100 hours toward my mentoring project and I will also get paid for it. The internship is at the UK center for behavioral sciences. Also, this summer I am going to Bonnaroo. I am really looking forward to this as an experience that I will always remember. For my senior year I am looking for an intellectually stimulating year, yet one that is less difficult than this one has been. I will be spending much of my time outside of school on my mentoring project and the 3 AP classes that I will be taking. I’m looking forward to next year as being the best year of high school yet.

super late playlist post yeee hawwwww cowboy

well first things first

(((its only one song but now you cant say i didnt warn you)))

okay here we go
witch house playlist - perfect for chilling and enjoying the ethereal and dark sounds of the pastel goth and soft grunge worlds

SPOTIFY LINK (incomplete): Halogenic nvm dont even bother clickin just do the youtube one
YOUTUBE LINK (full playlist): Halogenic

first up is gvcci hvcci (r.i.p. im still not sure what happened to you or if youre even dead but nobody has heard from you in months and they are saying you died sorry bout that friend your music was great)

1. Gvcci Hvcci feat. RITUALZ - Ghetto Ass Witch [Blind Bindings Remix]
    from the album $wagged Out & $cuba Divin'

this one isnt in spotify sorry
gvcci hvcci is the grimes of the rap world - characterized by her light flowing velvet vocals and classic big electronica beats, she is grimes meets die antwoord - aggressive in her lyrics but ethereal in her tone. she starts of this playlist, building up energy that will slowly fade through the ever softening tracks that follow

anyway.... next song

2. Grimes - Genesis
     from the album Visions

grimes (aka claire boucher) is the goddess of the dark wave/witch house world. shes gorgeous and talented and oh so profitable. her work is characterized by huge amounts of vocal tracks (im talking 40-70 separate tracks) layed over one another to create a soft and dense wall of harmonics that envelop the mind. this song is a pretty big contrast to the first one, but its a good cool down off of gvcci's pounding rhythms.

3. Crystal Castles - Transgender
     from the album (III)

crystal castles is my favorite band so youll have to excuse me if i go on a huge spiel here (ill do my best to keep it short.) the two person band is known for their strong electronic beats and echoing vocals, and transgender is a perfect example of some of their softer works. theres no good way to describe crystal castles, you really just have to experience them

4. Grimes - Oblivion
     from the album Visions

back to grimes for a more vocal driven track, mostly chosen to clear out the monotony of largely instrumental driven pieces. still a good song though.

5. Crystal Castles - Magic Spells
     from the album (I)

back to another of crystal castles' softer pieces, Magic Spells is characterized by soft repetitive beats that lull the listener into total relaxation. some of you more attentive people may recognize the reference to the 1984 miniseries "V" about an alien invasion

WOAH
BONUS TRACK????////??!/?1//

yeah thats right children i couldnt leave out this one (((but you only get to hear it if you look it up - spotify doesnt have it)))

6. Chromatics - Red Car
     from the album Running from the Sun

i dont know anything about chromatics but this song is a perfect song for a final piece - its slow, soft, and incredibly relaxing.

a very informal and entirely inane analysis of junior year

yeah so im gonna just drop the formal tone and grammar for this one since introspection is not something i can really do all hoighty toighty and stuff so be prepared for a lot of idks and nbds and ums and like exactly zero periods yee haw

i guess i should start with failures because theres a hella lot of em here goes
most of my failures arent actually academic though i mean my grades sort of suck? but thats nothing new (hey its better than last year)
yeah its really in my social life. although i suppose that if you consider the fact that in august i chose to completely dump my old crew of friends and (re)make new ones its not so bad. theres been a lot of conflict but in the end it sort of settled down and now after all that ive got the best friend anybody could ever possibly want. ive found possibly the only human being who puts up with my crap and doesnt complain about it and i dont think theres anything else anyone could ask for. wow that was stupid sorry
anyway yeah tl;dr on failures: grADES AHAHAHA, i spent all year getting into fights with people who i pretended to be friends with, i have no social life outside of like two people (shout out to paula and bay you people are the only thing keeping me in touch with the rest of the world thx guys)

but on the other hand
ive had some successes i guess
ive made more friends
through the support of my closest friends ive finally developed my own identity outside of the pressures of my peers - ive purified myself in a way
ive learned to lead (wooohoooooo project leader in history club yeahhh (its actually nbd i just pretend like it is))
and i have a
totally
sick
blog

wow this was literally the worst thing ive ever written gomenasai

Makes You Stronger

The rapid succession of questions for this prompt makes me feel almost as overwhelmed as this school year has made me feel (actually no where near but it does prompt similar feelings). Last year I remember hearing that Junior year was the hardest one, which might be true, though I can't say until I'm out of high school. What I do know for sure is that it's the hardest one so far. My classes were much more difficult this year than ever before and it's also the first year of high school where I have gotten more than one B (two, for the record) and that was in the first semester of this year. Calculus has been one of the most baffling things ever and as such it was one of my B's last semester; the other one was Spanish, which is hardly a surprise either, since Spanish tends to be one of my worst subjects.

As I try to think over my possible successes, absolutely nothing comes to mind. I'm sure there was something that I was successful at, though I can't remember anything large enough for it. It's not that I see this year as a failure in itself, more so that it proved to me yet more so that I am just incredibly mediocre. I do know where this problem comes from, though, and I plan to improve on that next year. I appear to have contracted an advanced form of senioritis, but as I have already had my brush with it, I hope to be immune to it next year and try to improve then.

How am I gonna do that? Well I'm still puzzling over that a bit, but I suppose the best way to go about it would be to get off the internet and actually do some studying for once. That might be a good start.

I only talked about school work, and that's how I'm gonna leave it. I honestly couldn't adequately sum up my junior year socially, if only because I have no idea how it compares to other years. (Sounds weird, I know, but I promise that it's just that I don't know how to judge how bad it is in the moment). I would want some form of objective view, and I can't say I have that yet. But I've had good and bad turns, socially, so I can't say it was completely one direction or the other.

But hey, I'm still here? And probably better off than some people. Maybe.

Junior year = ?

So my Junior year has been really really cool. I mean my grades are pretty much awful and I'm gonna have to like just brute force the work on myself but I will do it I suppose. First things first, I have had many new experiences and I have loved them. This whole year is just insane and I haven't understood a minute of it but it's been really really cool. I mean the chicago trip might have to be my favorite part especially the almost getting arrested part and my subsequent confusion as Trevor created #freecarsondooley. Oh also Barrett being on Jeopardy was pretty crazy. Oh well. I am out of things to say but I have loved this class and everything about this year. Feeling a little more relaxed as I just listened to my playlist. Thanks for the blogs Mr. Logsdon I feel like I know myself better. Bye.

Fiction is me

I would want to be Fry from the tv show Futurama. I know that Fry is pretty lame by himself but with his friends he is really very interesting and his life is never boring. I think that traveling and expiriencing the way that Fry does would be incredible no day the same future ridiculousness all over the place it would be really really neat. Also I just think that meeting Zoidberg would be so awesome although he might try to eat me... Oh well I suppose it would be worth the risk for all the incredible benefits, like slurm. The incredible new mountain dew that makes you glow.

Playlist to relax and not feel like the world is falling on youNerdy

1. Drunk - Ed Sheeran. Yes I understand that this is a very popular song and that it's not quite what some people might call good music but I like it and it is very relaxing so I feel drawn to putting it on this list as stressed as I am right now.
2. Letter to me - Brad Paisley. So as I was thinking about this list this song came into my mind. Just to clarify I don't like country music nor do I like this song however it does remind me that it's not the whole world and to relax and take it easy.
3. Take it easy- the Eagles. Now this song is something from my childhood I love it and it reminds me of my grandfather which brings back good relaxing memories.
4. Energy- the Apples In Stereo. This song is so relaxing because it brings up all the peace that thinking of how tiny you are and how everything is connected.
5. Lighters - Bad Meets Evil. I find this song very relaxing because it reminds me that while things may seem bad it could be worse and that it will get better.
