"Quarantunes"
Most things are closed right now. But you know what's not closed? MUSIC! Whether you're making your own, driving with the radio on full blast, jamming with your vintage 1990's boombox, zoning out with headphones on, or having Alexa play your favorite songs on demand- MUSIC IS OPEN! Open and essential. It keeps me sane, hopeful, and can change my mood for the better in an instant!

Nostalgic Songs For Twenty-Somethings Stuck At Their Parents’ House
In scary times like these, we naturally want to be near our loved ones. A lot of us twenty-somethings, out of fear for ourselves, situations, or family members, flocked to our childhood homes to stay (safely) close to them. Some of us are also college students, in which case there wasn’t much of a decision to be made on whether or not we’d be coming home.

Songs to Shut Out the World : Quarantine Playlists
Music has always been my best solace. In college I built myself a perfect little listening hideaway just to get lost in my music. Mountains of blankets and pillows, kaleidoscopic ceiling lights, lava lamps and tie dye posters made it a stoner's dream. And - of course - it came equipped with an epic stereo system.

Quarantine Music Therapy
If there is something that’s kept me sane during quarantine its music. I find music as my own personal mental health booster. I often go to sleep with music and find dancing at the most random moments the most perfect form of self-expression and therapy a human can have.

You can't just mishmash a bunch of catchy tunes together...there are RULES. Do it right, and you can tell a great musical story through other people's creative genius.

My Quarantine playlist for feels and freedom
There has been an assortment of feelings throughout this whole ordeal of the Coronavirus. Our lives have been changed to live through this part that has made a devastating impact in our history. We have time to be at home now, and we have to find ways to preoccupy ourselves. There's only so much movies and TV to binge and distract. Most of the creators I've been keeping contact with have said that music has been the biggest benefactor to keeping a positive mental headspace to be at peace. I'd have to agree, because it's been a big part of my quarantine routine. To find new songs or listen to ones I have with a new respect for how it parallel to my situation and I never noticed til I had the time to sit down and understand it from a different viewpoint.
