My Theme Songs

    Every good show has a theme song that goes perfectly with what the show entails. However, my life is a lot longer than a TV show, so it's gonna need several "theme songs" to get me through each phase of my life thus far. 

"Ain't no Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell is an all-time favorite song of mine. Some of my earliest memories include my cousins and me screaming this song until our lungs hurt. I feel like this song can summarize my life as a whole because I will do anything for those I love. 

"Breakaway" by Kelly Clarkson describes my early years. I had a tough time making friends in school and this song is all about not belonging and feeling the need to breakaway. It was a while before I truly discovered who I was, and it's something that I'm still actively working on. 

"The Bones" by Maren Morris would highlight the stable relationships I've had in my life. This song describes how if a person has a solid foundation laid down that nothing can truly break that individual. I know whatever twists and turns life has in store for me will be manageable because I have such a strong relationship with my family. I may fail and fall, but I will never break because of the foundation I've been blessed enough to create. 

"Bless the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts describes my philosophy on life. Whether it's losing a relationship you thought would last or missing the bus, everything happens for a reason. That reason may not always be obvious at first, but down the road one may see that the relationship was toxic or learning the importance of time management. 

"Just the Way'' by Parmalee, Blanco Brown is a song I listen to quite frequently. This song reminds me that I am perfect just the way I am. Everyone has their insecurities and this song reminds me that my insecurities don't define who I am. 

"Hakuna Matata'' from The Lion King is a carefree song that always puts me in a good mood. This can describe the many highs I've experienced in life. When I'm truly my happiest I'm living for me and not conforming to anyone's idea of who I'm supposed to be. In other words I live with no unnecessary worries. 

"homecoming queen?" by Kelsea Ballerini is a song that my mom showed me. Ironically, I was my school's homecoming queen, but this song has a rather depressive tone. It describes someone who appears to have their life together, but in reality is truly unhappy. Unfortunately I can relate to every one of the lyrics. I tend to put a smile on my face when I'm drowning in my negative thoughts in an attempt to not burden those around. 

"Nobody' Perfect" by Hannah Montana was an absolute bop when I was a toddler. I LOVED this song and sang every word at the top of my lungs. When I was younger I just liked the sound, but as I've gotten older and wiser I grew to love the message behind the song. I put a lot of pressure on myself to be "perfect" when in reality perfection is unattainable. This song reminds me that nobody is perfect, but hard work is still noticed. 

"Live While We're Young" by One Direction describes my craving for adventure. I want to try as many things while I'm still young because you only get one life. I don't want to waste my years wishing i would've done something different. I'm living my best life when I'm living with no regrets. 

The last song I think accurately depicts me would be "Survivor" by Destiny's Child. This classic song describes me as a whole. Despite any challenge or obstacle life has thrown at me I'm still surviving after 18 years. 18 years may not seem like an accomplishment, but everyday is a blessing. As the song says, "...I'm a survivor, I'm not gon' give up. I'm not gon' stop, I'm gon' work harder. I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it..."

Locked Away

 Once upon a time, there was a girl named Rapunzel who craved adventure. As a child, her grandmother told her she was diagnosed with a deadly disease that caused her to remain indoors for the rest of her life. The only person she ever talked to was her grandmother. Rapunzel would explore the mansion whenever her grandmother would run errands. She would often find her way to the attic, where she watched a neighborhood boy swim with his dog.  One day he saw her peering through the window and waved. Out of embarrassment, she ducked and instantly became flushed. She peaked her eyes over the ledge of the window and saw the handsome neighborhood boy making his way toward her. He shouted up at the window in hopes of getting a response. Rapunzel revealed herself through the window and shouted back. They talked for a couple hours. As soon as the grandmother began to pull in, Rapunzel told the boy to come back tomorrow at the same time. He nodded and trotted away. They continued t talk ...

Audience Awareness

       The commercial advertising Budweiser targeted its content towards young adults. This is evident because all the actors involved appeared to be young and having a great time. The advertisement tried to make it seem like drinking Budweiser was always a party, something young adults tend to enjoy. The commercial that was advertising Life Cereal targeted parents of younger children. The commercial had two kids refusing to eat cereal because they thought it would taste bad since it was "healthy". They make the kid who is the pickiest eater try it; after one bite he appeared to be enjoying it. Parenst would see this commercial and may believe that this is a heathy alternative for even the pickiest of eaters. The last commercial that advertised Nike products targeted athletes and anyone who indulges in physical actuvuty. It was an inspirational commercial that will appeal to many athletes because as an athete you are taught to always want more or to push yourself to ...

Revealing the Truth

 Children are perhaps some of the most innocent people. They base everything they know off of their own assumptions from observations or information others have told them. They trust that those around them are telling the complete truth. Unfortunately, everything they are told isn't always the truth - especially if it comes from a sibling. From my personal experience, older siblings tend to be the source of many false beliefs. One belief, in particular, went on for about a year of my childhood.  As a child, my older brother Collin was incredibly lazy. He would always ask someone else to do the simplest of tasks for him, like getting his shoes from the closet or grabbing him a water bottle. He realized the other members of the family were reluctant to do these favors for him. Desperate for a water bottle one day he told me I had an important task to do by the orders of the Disney Princesses. Obviously, I could not let down my idols. I jumped at the chance to impress any of the ...
