The Soundtrack of My Life

If there was a soundtrack to my life, selecting only a few of the major impacts on my life, I think it would go something like this...

1) BIRTH- the Lion King 'The Circle of Life' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vX07j9SDFcc
I picked this song because when I was born Disney movies where in full force. Not only is Lion King my favorite Disney movie, I remember going to see it twice when I was little...plus me being born is LITERALLY apart of the Circle of Life.

2) 1st DAY OF SCHOOL - The Jackson 5 'ABC' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOXG8wtxx_w
On the first day of school my mom took a picture of me sitting at my 1st desk, and the tradition carried on in some way or fashion. I figured this song was appropriate because I was learning my ABC's.

3) HIGH SCHOOL- N'SYNC 'Bye Bye Bye'   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo-KmOd3i7s&ob=av2e
This song was huge when I was exiting Elementary School and beginning to enter Junior High/ High School.

4) GRANDPA'S DEATH- Tyrone Well's 'Time of Our Lives' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxQv0UHwt18
When my Grandfather passed away I was extremely sad, it was hard for me to focus at school and I was distant from my friends. I love him and will forever miss him.

5) FIRST LOVE- Brittany Spears 'You Drive Me Crazy' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4VK9_CfOLQ
Brittany Spears was THE pop singer that ever girl listened to, and along with her song my "first love" drove me crazy.

6) COLLEGE- Childish Gambino 'Do Ya Like' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fx_vEkVn5Ic
I chose this song because I started liking this artists when I was got into college, he also has references to movies and cultural norms that I like or agree with.

7) NOW- Etta James 'At Last' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1uunRdQ61M
I picked this song to be my current soundtrack song because I am finally where I want to be in every respect of my life. I have the most incredible man in my life, I'm getting the education I need to peruse my dream, and I am loving every minute of every day.

  1. A good list that ends up in a fine place: "At Last," oh yeah.
