Nostalgia

Hey lovelies!  I must also apologize for being MIA recently.  School has been a real drag lately, with the end of year tests (since there are, what, five weeks left of school for me) and my unwillingness to actually do work.  And considering the extent to which I procrastinate, the next few weeks will also be a struggle, because I'd rather not do anything anymore.  I really just want summer to be here, so I can stare at social media sites without the guilt
The playlist:
"Together/Never" - Oberhofer
"Thirst" - City and Colour
"Can't Keep Your Mind Off" - Data Romance
"I Love It - feat. Charli XCX" - Icona Pop
"Heartbeat" - Childish Gambino
"Miss Missing You" - Fall Out Boy
"Crocodile Rock" - Elton John

For this Music Monday I decided to show you guys a little more of my love for rap music. I may not seem like it, but I actually listen to rap music everyday. Some of my fave rappers are Kanye West , Little Brother, and Blu.  I gave a sneak peek of this guilty pleasure in my first Music Monday, but here is a playlist dedicated all to some of my favorite rap songs! 

Playlist

Say It Again - Little Brother
A Song For That - Oddisee

Other hip hop things I love are beatstrumentals on SoundCloud. Check out Ta-ku, weirddough, Handbook, and kirvy. Sometimes they even give free downloads!!

What a Drag

Hello everyone! It feels like it's been a while. But maybe that's because I 've been spending all my time playing LinePlay. Really, I have no idea why this app is so addictive!  I've  tried to take preventive measures by hiding my phone in my closet, but somehow I just end up  playing the game in there too. I even played it at school and disobeyed school policy!! Sigh, I would recommend it to you all, but then you would probably end up like me.   

The other day I while I was going through old Music Mondays, I noticed something ... I pick the slowest songs ever to make a playlist ☹ Even though I love all the songs I feel like they all blend together because they are so slow. To make up for the lack of excitement, I tried to pick more up beat songs this time! I hope you enjoy!

The Playlist
Tissue Shoulders - The Maccabees
Finding Something to Do - Hellogoodbye
90s Kids - Oh No! Yoko
What a Drag - Bear Hands
Jet Trails - Mesita
First Date Kid - Born Ruffians

Also, I promise the Sum It Up Sunday post will go up this Sunday!
(notice that I bolded, underlined, and italicized the word promise)

First Choice

Well, my post from last week is kind of ironic now because I'm grounded from Youtube... It's probably a good thing that I take a break from it though ☹.
This week I found an indie Spanish band called Los Hermanos McKenzie. I have no idea what their songs are saying even though I'm in Spanish 5 , but hopefully listening to them will help me learn through osmosis! My other favorite songs by them are Inutil and Trepado a un Arbol.

Here is the Playlist:
The Temptation of Adam - Josh Ritter
Heart it Races (cover) - Dr. Dog
Caught Me Thinkin - Bahamas
Tengo - Los Hermanos McKenzie
Pyotr - Bad Books
First Choice - Gabe Bondon

adios, es la leche,

It's Alright

It's another Monday again. <Warning: Super long dairy post ahead!!!> These past couple of weeks have been  a rollercoaster of good and bad things.  First, lets start with exams. Overall I did really well on all of them. I even did well on my English exam where I had to write a creative excerpt for The Great Gatsby and I ended up saying that Gatsby killed Daisy. However, there was one exam I did very poorly on. Spanish. When I revealed the news to my parents, it seemed like time stopped because  they didn't blink at all for 5 minutes. Later my dad called me over and said "Sydney, are you having any boy problems?" That made me lol though.
Second, I lost two very important things: a diamond ring and my Sims 3 game. I couldn't find them anywhere I looked. But then something amazing happened. On Friday, I suddenly got the urge to wear a certain shirt and when I pulled it out the ring just flew out  of nowhere! As of now I'm feeling a weird mix of feelings. I feel both happy and disappointed at the same time, but hopefully the weeks ahead will leave me just feeling happy.

I hope you all have a very splendid week and enjoy my playlist!

"The Fisherman" by Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.
