Top 3 Favorite Songs of All Time

 Top 3 Favorite Songs of All Time

A little bit of background about myself before I get into my Top 3 list. About two years ago I would rarely listen to music. It never helped me focus and I'd generally only listen to music on the car radio when going to and from school. Currently, I'm dorming and I was never given a roommate so I use music to fill the silence. (Apologizes for being depressing, it's just something I've been doing at college.)

 With the majority of my time spent alone, I have gotten this great opportunity to listen to all different kinds of music and conveniently I am not one to be too picky. The type of music I listen to depends on my mood; hence, my list will kinda be all over the place. 


3. Pentatonix - White Winter Hymnal 


Pentatonix is a 5 member acappella group from Texas. The group will often do covers of songs and this particular song is no exception. "White Winter Hymnal" was originally released in 2008 by Fleet Foxes', (they are an American Band based in Seattle, Washington.) For this song the members that sing it are Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Kristin Maldonado, Kevin Olusola, and Avi Kaplan. Avi Kaplan left the group to pursue his solo music career in 2017 and to fill the space in the group Matt Sallee replaced him. I find this song very peaceful, and I'll enjoy listening to it anyway at anytime.

2. Starship - We Built This City


"We Built This City" was released in 1985 by the US rock group Starship in their album Knee Deep in the Hoopla. This song feels positive and nostalgic, but when you look closer at the lyrics it has a dark ominous vibe which is the reason I like it so much. The song lyrics are about how clubs in San Francisco were banning live performances of live rock music. In essence, this song is a cry out to the world about the future of rock music and how in the past it played a huge role in the music industry.

1. Owl City - Fireflies

Owl City is an American electronic music project created by Adam Young in 2007. For this particular song he wrote and produced it along with Matt Thiessen, who also provided guest backup vocals. The song was released in 2009. This song is my number one because I could listen to it for hours and not get tired of it. It's a song that reminds me of childhood and has an upbeat but calm tone to the song.

Three Teachers and The Lessons They Taught Me

Image
     Throughout my time in elementary, middle, high school, and even now in college  I have been impacted from my teachers who have instructed me. Sometimes this impact is how the teachers' had hoped with me as their student gaining a sense of how a particular societal brief operates in the real world or the proper way to formulate a hypothesis when conducting a chemistry experiment how light fractures through different liquids. In order to understand how a few teachers have impacted me, I need to explain what I was laking prior to taking these classes. 6th Grade - English - Ms. Centrella      As a avid reader English was a subject I generally did not struggle with English...until it came to Ms. Centrella's grammar quizzes. I hated them. I would dread going to her class to take them. Those 10 question quizzes were the bane of my existence. Needless to say, turns out I was terrible at grammar and as someone who grew up in a household where getting a B w...

Spices, Glorious Spices

Spices, Glorious Spices     Personally, when it comes to garlic I enjoy it on your standard garlic bread, garlic knots, and white pizza.          A not so common garlic meal combo that I enjoy are garlic mashed potatoes. I guess you can say my taste in food revolving around garlic tend to be quite bland and also oddly all around the same color. To change the topic in a direction I am more passionate, I must introduce my favorite food. Pierogies. Pierogies are polish fried dumplings that can have potatoes, cheese and potatoes, meat, strawberries, lentils, mushrooms, spinach and garlic, smoked cheese and cranberry, etc. The most common filling is just potato. Garlic is not used in this dish; however onion powder is. But what is onion powder? Onion powder is a seasoning made from dehydrated ground onions according to Google. This spice has the concentrated onion flavor without the moisture and bulk of the onion bulb itself. During the proce...

3 Classes I'm Hype For

Image
      Out of the classes I have selected to choose for next semester, three of them I am quite excited for.  My main reasoning behind selecting these three classes is because each course is based on teaching something that interests me. (Thinking about this now, that's generally the main reason someone is interested in a class.) Korean  I:      My main reasoning behind being excited for this course is because I really want to learn the language as I am interested in the Korean  culture. If my skills in Korean getting to the point that I feel comfortable having a conversation in the language, I'd love to study  abroad there. Of course, I understand learning a new language is very very very hard, especially East Asian languages. For a native English speaker learning this type of language is very hard because the grammar, writing system, and their structure of formal language is completely different from the way English is structured. ...
