Blogtober | Week Three - Marvelous Music

I feel like there are pivotal points during every year and season when it's just time to party. Around this time in October, I get ready to party all night and sleep all day (ideally). 
And what's a party without some good music?

 A few of my go-to party songs-

 I'm Ready - AJR (and the remix, 'cause dayum)
AfterHours - AJR
Pitchfork Kids - AJR
Pompeii - Bastille
Things We Lost In The Fire - Bastille
Of The Night - Bastille
Kangaroo Court - Capital Cities
Charlie Brown - Coldplay
Paradise - Coldplay
Burn - Ellie Goulding
I Need Your Love - Ellie Goulding
Flux and Flow - LIGHTS
Running With The Boys - LIGHTS
Cards - Minor Soul
Kamikaze - Owl City
Beautiful Times - Owl City
Where Did The Party Go - Fall Out Boy
Ain't It Fun - Paramore

...That's only a few, but they're some of my favorites.

 Of course, where there's parties, there's cleaning up beforehand and afterwards...

 Music I listen to when cleaning/decorating/working,etc-

 Anything Could Happen - Ellie Goulding
Babel - Mumford and Sons
Bad Blood - Bastille
Icarus - Bastille
Get Up And Move - General Ghost

It's Time - Imagine Dragons
Working Man - Imagine Dragons
Livin' Life - Minor Soul
Nothing At All - Minor Soul

There's also that span of down-time, when the party's done and we just want to chill out and relax for a while...

 A few relaxing "daydreamy" songs-

 Whole Wide World - Mindy Gledhill
Buy You A Rose - AJR

 Perhaps it's kind of cheesy for me to just list some of my favorite songs in a blog post (and these lists don't even cover it all!), but I just thought I'd share since music has been one of the only things keeping me sane lately! (Along with a nice cup of tea now and then...)

Why Modern Politics is Destroying Us

I may not be a political science major, but I have a decent grasp of United States politics, and right now we're a mess. Anyone in the world can see it, since our political revels and defeats are always being splayed across news and social media. What's more: instead of trying to unite over common issues, we're pitching our causes at each other like weapons for war.  The problem, in my opinion, isn't the mess; it's our reactions. Everyone has morals. Everyone has beliefs. Everyone thinks they're right. But what happens when there isn't only one answer?  What happens when diverse groups of people are tossed together like a salad? Do they listen to each other before speaking or do they sit and scream accusations? At what point does the fence fall? In today's society, we're plagued by the illusion of binary systems. "Liberal" and "conservative" have become terms we use to describe our personalities rather than political st...

An Open Letter to My Family

Dear Family, Thank you. Thank you for always being so crazy and lovely and wonderful through everything. Thank you for raising me with all the love and kindness that you could muster, and all the greatness of your souls. Thank you for surrounding me with warmth and joy, even on the darkest days. Thank you for standing with me, even when I don't know exactly what I'm standing for. Thank you for accepting me as I am. Thank you for loving me as I am.

Sleepy Ramblings Regarding Strange Habits of Mine

I had this realization recently that I've been walking through life on my tiptoes. Literally and figuratively. I thought it was only something I did when I was little, something that disappeared when I got older. But that didn't seem to be the case. Along with using an incredibly passive voice quite frequently ( ha ha ), I continued tip-toeing around the house and it completely escaped my notice until my mom pointed it out to me. Then it began bothering me. I began noticing other strange habits of mine... For instance: biting my lips till they're rather raw, bouncing my feet while sitting, chewing my nails in my sleep ( though that usually only happens when I'm super stressed )... There's probably more. And they annoy me to no avail. I made a plan recently ( or perhaps a feeble attempt ) to stop some/all of these ridiculous habits. Especially the tip toe thing. I'm going to start walking heel-toe again. And then I thought: you know what? I nee...
