Recommended: Effects of depression in adolescents

My soundtrack of my life is full of slow electronic “vaporwave”, heavy party tracks, and lots of fun adventures to get you hyped through sounds and samples. I have had a very eventful life so far, and I have songs that can correlate with specific stages that I’m willing to share through this essay. I have a vast array of music, as I don’t listen to a lot of radio or other mainstream music. It’s not that I don’t enjoy some popular music; I tend to enjoy the music I find on indie-based sites like Soundcloud and Bandcamp. I never listen to the same music, but I have found music that would accurately portray my life as a movie. In my late middle school stages, life was pretty tough. I had just moved to Rabun Gap Nacoochee School, a private college …show more content…

I fell in love with as many angels as I did demons. Strange part was, I treated all of them the same. I was very big into musical theatre and our Cirque De Soleil program we had at the school, so one song that could be applied is Finale by Madeon. This song represents my love for the arts. I’m a singer, actor, dancer, and a storyteller to my friends because of all of my different characters I was able to take on. Girls by Yahtzel is a song to represent all the romantic relationships I had while taking part in the arts program at highschool. Another song for this time is “forgetting u” by Atlas, because my last high school love had the biggest impact on me. She taught me things I didn’t know about myself, and she had so many respectable thoughts and opinions that I looked up to her as a role model. She was adorable, smart, sweet, compassionate, and very empathetic. She makes me think of the song Day Two by Lemaitre, and Surrender by Cash Cash. I still miss her and wonder when I’ll find someone like her again. My last song for this chapter is Roses be Deon Custom, because it reminds me of when I was happy back in highschool, and how I haven 't felt happy …show more content…

Slow, distorted songs like “リサフランク420 / 現代のコンピュー” by MACINTOSH PLUS and Resonance by HOME really describe how slow life has been moving for me lately. I’ve been diagnosed with clinical depression, I have tried to end my life on numerous occasions, and college has been near impossible to get adjusted to. I feel like I’m in some sort of void where time moves on, but I’m stuck in the same place left behind as everyone else moves on. I tried therapy but it’s hard to keep that up at school. I have good friends but they all seem to be doing much better than me. All I have to get by is drugs, alcohol, and lots of nights awake in bed wondering whether or not I should be alive. The songs Morning Chords and Bonfires by HOME represent my quiet struggle through each

  • Transforming and Beyond: Katy Perry and Britney Spears

    819 Words  | 2 Pages

    When artists go through an emotional down fall in there career’s you see some stars fall and other’s reflect to back when it all started to better themselves. As Katy Perry stated in her interview with U.S.A Today Prism is “less over-the-top and more “me””. I have come to realize that when artist put out an album, it isn’t just to see how many copies they can sell but it’s about making music with feelings, getting into there inner self and reaching out to those who admire them, the social text of the music is the heart of every song and the album altogether. A lot of the time artist will write about their emotions but never really behind the sense of what occurred. Here I will take two artists and break down there trails and show how they made them into triumphs through the context of there music. I will describe how these artist were able to create pieces of music that took over a particular emotion and were able to get it’s point across to the listener. These artists will be Katy Perry, and Britney Spears.

  • My Journey To College Essay

    713 Words  | 2 Pages

    I feared I wouldn’t be able to uphold my family’s standards. All the work given to me from my five core gifted classes and the stress started accumulating. My life was spiraling right before my eyes. I lost control of the steering wheel and ran myself right into a ditch; a ditch, more like a bottomless pit of scum. I thought I was strong enough to hold on for the ride but apparently I wasn’t. I reluctantly handed over the wheel to my parents and let them guide me to where I needed to be. Eventually, tenth grade rolled around and I put myself back together. I was broken glass taped together trying to refurbish myself. At this point I just had to make it through high school. At the end of tenth grade, I aced every class I had taken from band to chemistry. Eleventh grade creeped around the corner and the anxiety started to build up again. I wanted more for myself. I was no longer satisfied with being every other person in Hialeah Gardens High School. My options were to either get into dual enrollment or finish high school all together. Dual enrollment was ruled out when my test scores were not at the new passing score they had recently made. There were two months left of school and it was until then that I decided

  • Overcoming Challenges: A Homeschooling Journey

    Therefore, I was very dependent on my family and friends. Anytime someone new tried to talk to me, I could always count on at least one of my sisters, to be standing right by my side, answering any question they threw at me. One of the things that scared me the most about public school was the number of hours I would be away from my family, after all, they were my interpreters and protectors. After the first few weeks, when everything started to settle down, that’s when I realized “I can do this.” The whole communication and conversation was not as horrible as I imagined it to be. In fact, people were really quite pleasant to me, being the “new girl” and all. I started to make list, which may not seem to be a big deal, but it was a big step for me. Since, previously, I thought that list were just something mothers made for groceries, or the elderly made due their forgetfulness. I was wrong. I came to realize, that it was an independency thing, not an age or gender thing. They had so much responsibilities that they had to write them all down, in order to remember them

  • Importance Of Song I Love College

    719 Words  | 2 Pages

    If felt like I was drowning. One day I woke up and realized that I’m here for a reason and I’m not going to give up that easily, which is why I picked the song “Hero”. I finally was starting to realize why I was here and things were starting to become clear but I still needed help to get out of the funk I was in. I picked the song “ Hall Of Fame” because this song means that, whoever you are you can be anything you set your mind to. If anyone says you can 't, take that as a challenge to prove them wrong. This song represents the part in my semester that I realized I can’t just sit around and wait for someone to get me out of my funk I need to pick myself up and get out of it myself because I was meant to be here and I need to do whatever I could to succeed. The reason I picked the song “ Survivor” was because I survived the funk I was in and didn’t let it get to me. This song talks about surviving without a certain person but I’m looking at it in terms of me surviving that rough time of my semester and getting myself out of it because I am strong and I will make it through college. “Stronger( What Doesn’t Kill You)” was the next song I picked because at this point in the semester I realized that college isn’t going to be easy and I shouldn’t expect it to be easy because like the song says “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”.

The CD in the player consisted of all my favorite songs: “Pee Wee Long Way( Chasing)’,” “Lil Boosie (Long Journey),”Lil snupe “(Nobody),” and many others.
