Summer tunes. Summer’s blues. This is the story of my freshman year (in a playlist).
That summed up my mood change from ending summer break and jumping right into college. Then, there comes winter and spring break, which is always nice too.
As a college student, I always had my to go-to playlist for different reasons. One of them being how introverted I was, refusing to start small talk with anyone. I was a shy kid.
It may be a bit over three years since I graduated college, but you may recognize some of these artists and their famous tracks (or, infamous ones; depending how you see it).
So…what was a day like for me? Here's the story of my freshman year (in a playlist).

1. 5am
John Mayer’s “Waiting on the World to Change” – waking up for the day (for whatever reason, I decided that 7am classes were for the best)
2. 6:45am
John Mayer’s “Half of my Heart” – ah, yes when John and Tay Tay were dating, which made the perfect tune walking from my car to the first class of the day.
Frequently asked questions
3. 7am Class
Seriously, having fifty-minute classes was the best.
4. 8am
Desire’s “Under Your Spell” – That Ryan Gosling’s “Drive” was an awesome film! The soundtrack was just as great, especially when I developed a crush on another fellow film major. It did not help that he was also an actor. Every girl’s dream, right?
5. 8:45am
Darkness’ “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” – I was so emotional and easily got upset when the boy did not seem to notice me, or was just not interested. I had a tendency of matching my mood to the perfect song. Plus, this was pre-Tay Tay’s “Shake It Off.”
6. 9am Class
I got through another one and then more music.
7. 10-10:45am
Drake and The Doors - honestly, anything during my lunch break. Something to kill the time before my following back-to-back last two classes.
8. 11am Class
Almost done!
9. 12pm
John Mayer’s “Half of my Heart” – what can I say, I was obsessed with this tune, always something that felt right to start and end the day with while walking back to my car.
