Basically, youmake a playlist or folder with all the songs you downloaded in a certain semester or year. For example, I\u2019ve added every song I\u2019ve downloaded since orientation week to \u201cFreshman Year: Fall Semester\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The idea is that you\u2019re able to see how your tastes in music change over your college career. I really loved this concept and have downloaded 57 songs since starting. I\u2019ll probably add a few more before finals wrap up. Here are some of my top picks:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><i>I\u2019m Just a Kid<\/i><\/b><b> by Simple Plan<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; Starting off strong with some good old fashioned teenage angst. Everyone can relate to this song. We\u2019ve all felt lonely or felt like the world was completely against us or like we don\u2019t fit in. It\u2019s just a good song anyone and everyone can relate to.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b><i><b><i>You Belong With Me<\/i><\/b> <b>by Taylor Swift<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; What\u2019s a playlist without some T-Swizzle? This song is a simple and catchy tune from earlier in Swift career, when she was in between Country and Pop. It\u2019s everyone\u2019s guilty pleasure song. Admit it, you\u2019ve rocked out to this in your room when no one was looking. I have.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b><i>All Star<\/i><\/b><b> by Smash Mouth<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; It\u2019s a classic. I mean, that\u2019s really all there is. It\u2019s the epitome of the late 90\u2019s and early 00\u2019s.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b><i>Hey Ya!<\/i><\/b><b> by OutKast<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; Like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All Star<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, this is a classic. If you don\u2019t like thissong , I\u2019m not sure if we can be friends.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b><i>Never Forget You<\/i><\/b><b> by Zara Larsson &amp; MNEK<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; When you first listen to this song, you\u2019ll think that\u2019s it\u2019s Rihanna singing. Zara is actually this teenage Swedish girl, possibly the furthest from Rihanna you can get. I promise you, this song is worth a listen<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b><i>Roses (ZAXX Remix)<\/i><\/b> <b>by The Chainsmokers and ROZES <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; This remix is a fresh look at <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Roses<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, which the Chainsmokers dropped earlier this year. It kicks up the beat and makes the song great to work out or dance to.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b><i>Coming Over (Filous Remix)<\/i><\/b><b> by James Heresy <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; Kygo may have brought the world\u2019s attention to the Tropical House genre, but producers like Filous are keeping people listening, it\u2019s definitely kept me in the genre.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b><i>I Write Sins Not Tragedies<\/i><\/b><b> by Panic! at the Disco <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; What kind of person would I be if I didn\u2019t finish off this list without some more angst?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So that\u2019s my list. It looks like I\u2019m an angsty little raver that\u2019s stuck in 2005. I\u2019m really looking forward to what the next few years will do to my tastes in music. Maybe you should try it out. It\u2019s never too late, the next semester is just around the corner.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before coming to UPS, I read about this little self-project that you could do throughout your college years.
