Fun Times At Vanity High & Afterwards
L$D - A$AP Rocky This song was peak senior year me. It describes my most intimate thoughts and private emotions. Teenage me was a whole mess that couldn’t really think of anything past that for the most part. It just describes where my mind was at. It describes everything I ever wanted and couldn’t have at this time.

Numb but Full of Emotional Pain
Teen Angst Playlist I grew up in the small town of Plainfield, Wisconsin. To give you an idea of how small, I graduated in a class of fifty. I was a stereotypical “nerd.” I loved school, but not for the reasons most people think. School was an escape from everyday stressors and home life. My parents were separated. I went to my dad’s house on the weekend and was with my mother during weekdays. Each set of parents had a very different type of lifestyle. I was constantly having to acclimate to rules, different believes and overall environments. Adding this to my teenage hormones and feeling often was more than I could handle.

So Many Feelings, So Little Room
Angst. The formal definition of which is: a feeling of deep anxiety or dread, typically an unfocused one about the human condition or the state of the world in general. This feeling was not an isolated incident for me nor was it so for any of my peers or anyone who has lived between the ages of 12 and 19. If you skipped this stage in development, I might say I envy you. In reality, though, my experience has defined a great deal of who I am which is reflected in the playlist below.

If Nothing Else, I Was Creative
The year 2000 should have destroyed the world as we knew it. At least, that's what a lot of people believed and told me as 1999 drew to a close. As if Y2K wasn't terrifying enough, imagine knowing that your coveted "teen" birthday took place in that year. It was dramatically fated.

The Soundtrack To My (Past) Life
When I think back to my days spent in middle school, I remember being obsessed with My Chemical Romance, wearing excessive black eyeliner and band tees to school with skulls on them (and secretly being afraid of getting in trouble over it), and wishing I was as cool as Peyton Saywer from One Tree Hill with her sexy convertible and incredible taste in music.

Headphones In
Over the years my music preferences changed drastically. When I was in my teenage years I listened to mostly rock, some rap, and nothing of what I currently have in my daily playlist. Everything that I used to listen to was emo or rock and nothing like the music preferences I have now a days. I rarely ever still listen to the music that I would play on repeat in my teenage years. The music that I would remember the lyrics for by heart. Is it strange I've wondered or is this the same for everyone?

Altimate Alternative
For all those years that you didn't feel good enough. When you doubted your decisions and were sure on nothing. For the long nights that turned to early mornings. It's soft warmth frustrating; because you knew that another day was about to be wasted. This is the playlist for you, so keep it on full volume.

Let’s Keep The Blood Off The Dance Floor
You are going to a deserted island you can only take 5 things , what are you taking? My answer, my husband, kids, cat and music with whatever can play said music and never die maybe a solar powered generator. I am confident we could figure it out from there.
