Personal Soundtrack


The portraits and pictures I put in represent different parts of my life. The portraits of my friends that I met in college are not only a formation of a new "tribe" of sorts but also illustrates my current path. Studying,writing papers, and the dorm room are also illustrations of this. The picture of me on the horse, the screenshot of my iTunes playlist, the picture of me reading a book, and the pictures of movies also represent me. I have a passion for everything in those photos and they are something that I count as a part of me and show what it is I like to do and what I am interested in. Also the pictures of me with my friends and my expression easily display my personality. I am not just smiling in every photo but reacting to everything going on. Also, each picture illustrates some moment in my life that I can certainly remember or some part of my life that I can remember. The black and white picture of me kicking the balloons also was supposed to illustrate how fun-loving I am, how I never want to be bored by anything or anyone. The first song I chose was "Hit Me Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears. When I was in the first grade(which was when that photo was taken of me) I loved Britney Spears, the Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys and N*Sync so whenever I hear any of their old songs I'm reminded of my childhood. The other pictures from family gatherings and my high school years has MGMT's "Kids" playing. In my last year of high school I listened to that song and it related(and still does relate) to the fun times I had with my friends in high school. Finally, "Eenie Meenie Miney Mo" by Sean Kingston ft. Justin Bieber is playing when the pictures of me with college friends runs. This is because my friends and I share a guilty pleasure of listening to Justin Bieber songs, and have been singing this one for a while so when I hear it I immediately think of them. The sounds I used to illustrate my current paths are sounds I hear in the dorm while I am completing the tasks I have to or just hanging around.
