Soundtrack to My Life

So as I mentioned in my last post this was the first week of school for me. Well and most of Nevada. This semester I'm taking 4 classes & I just happen to end up with Ethnic Studies as one of my chosen courses. I've never taken an Ethnic Studies class so I was very unsure of what to think, but Corey assured me it would be okay. Plus his good friend is the professor. I feel like I mentioned that last week, but I'll mention it again. Today was the 2nd day of class & we've already gotten our first big project. We're suppose to do a soundtrack of life. You pick 5 different topics from a list and pick a song that you think relates to that topic & your own life. So here I am at 11 o'clock at night trying to figure out what topics to choose. Who knew I'd almost find a song for every topic on this sheet? I think my love for lyrics in songs has a little something to do with that :) Thank you blogging for helping me out with this school assignment! I've decided to share the topics with you guys & the songs that I picked. Maybe you all can help me pick my 5. Along with the song we have to write a little paragraph to explain to the class as to why we chose the topic & song.

Category A (minimum of 2 choices form this list)

• What’s a song in your library that reminds you of your family, or person in your family?  Don't Forget to Remember Me - Carrie Underwood
• What’s a song that reminds you of your childhood? Ain't No Mountain High Enough by Marvin Gaye.
• What song makes you want to dance? 22- Taylor Swift.
• What song do you love to get ready to in the morning? Total Eclipse of The Heart- Glee Cast.
• What song makes you want to cry? For this one I picked Crazy by K-Ci and JoJo.
• What song chills you out?! Amber- 311

 
Category B (minimum of 2 choices from this list)

• What’s a song in your library that describes where you’d like the world to go? Hey World( Remote Control Version) - Michael Franti.
• What song describes your ideals regarding love? More Than Words- Extreme. If you know me well you know this is my future wedding song. So don't steal it!
•  What song do you associate with your dreams? Pursuit of Happiness- Kid Cudi.
• What’s a song that talks about an issue or problem in the world that you think we don’t talk about enough? Um this one I have no clue....

• What’s a song that offends you? This one either....
• What’s a song in your library that defines what your gender should be like? Destiny's Child - Survivor.
• What’s a song that makes you feel empowered? Eye of the Tiger- Survivor
• What’s a song that you feel, “keeps you going?” Treasure- Bruno Mars

Now if you guys could give me any feedback that would be great :) I think I already have my choices picked out in my head, but I want to see what you guys think as well! It's so funny to me to see how varied my taste in music is. & this is only a few songs. I have hundreds. Picking just a few was hard.
