I’m a college student who has unrealistic dreams of being a famous authoress who writes mystery novels. Either that or a goblin... haven't decided which. I live on a farm up on a hilltop where the wind likes to mess up my hair and the trees sway poetically in the wind.

Senioritis Playlist

Highschool has gone way to fast. It feels just like yesterday I was turning 13. Is that a sign of getting old? Maybe. Either way, as my graduation day grows ever nearer and my highschool days to a close, I can’t help but find comfort in these songs. I’ve made a short playlist so maybe they’ll help you too, especially if you’re going to be moving on from school soon.

  1. OneRepublic – Marching On
As a pessimist, I’m always in need of constant reminders that’ll I’ll make it through things. This songs happens of be one of them.

2. The Arcadian Wild – The Graduate

One of my favorite songs, this one encompasses exactly what it feel like to grow up.

3. Rob Drabkin – It’s a Beautiful Day

For someone with the name “Drabkin”, this guy sure did write an uplifting song…

4. Sleeping At Last – Life

5. Hercules – I Can go the Distance

Disney songs are always the bomb.

6. Avicii – Wake Me Up

7. Shawn Mendes – Something Big

8. OneReplublic – I Lived

9. Owl city – The Verge

10. Rachel Platten – Fight Song

Is the Glass half-full or empty?

Is the Glass half full? Is the Glass half empty?

But doesn’t it depend? If you filled up the glass to the halfway point, wouldn’t you be more in inclined to say it is half full? But what if you filled it up and then poured out half?  Now it seems half-empty.  I guess how a person sees their glass depends on the circumstances around it and their particular glass… so maybe it’s not quite as simple as sorting people into optimists and pessimists. It’s true that maybe some of us are better at seeing the silver lining and others. Maybe some of us are natural born cynics. And maybe the human psych is just a little bit more complicated than that…

But all that being said don’t forget to drink your water in the first place. And I’d recommended doing it through a crazy straw. Cause those things are awesome.
