I stole this from Erin who had a playist for her sophomore year. so here is my (sorta) playlist (more like albums) that i listened to a lot my freshman year of college.
1. Dark is the Way, Light is a Place- Anberlin
Despite the long title, this was an album i was totally waiting for it since i was the 17th person to pre-order it. (i got free dogtags, a signed cover poster, and a free shirt bc of that =P) i was totally anticipating it. but it kinda let me down a bit. i mean it was good, and i listened to it for about 2 weeks. after anticipating it so much, a 2 week listen is kinda bad. but it is still a good album, but i hope anberlin comes out with another album that is more "Cities"-esque.
2. The Glass Passenger- Jacks Mannequin
There was a time where i kind of just listen to whatever songs or artists. But once thanksgiving rolled around, i got this album and every since then i loved it. Its just a great album and especially love the message of recovery in it. songs like swim, crashin, the resolution, and caves. but there are songs that i just enjoy a lot like bloodshot and hammers and strings(a lullaby). this album means so much to me. i was listening to it again fully around spring break time, and i just realized that it meant a lot to me. i dont know how or can explain how, but it means a lot to me.
3. Right now there would a sorta flux area with two albums i got. "The End is Not the End" and "Surburba" both by House of Heroes together had a like 3 week life span. Its just its not one of those albums i rememeber from the year. Both of them seemed like a past love that just re-emerged for those 3 week time period. most likely because it was not really "new" music (liek style-wise) but it was more of Sswitchfoot-type albums.I mean these (and "Vista" by Roderick, a local guy i know) were my soundtrack for my winter break. So i guess ill add them haha
4. "What Seperates You from Me"- A Day to Remember
I dont remember when i exactly got this album, but i know once i did, i listened to it constantly for the rest of the spring semester. Just songs like "All i want", "this is the house that doubt built", and "all signs point to lauderdale" were early hits with me. the first two i kinda over-played and dont listen to them much anymore. "all signs" means a lot to me now because im home. take a listen and youll know why. but songs like "its complicated" and "better off this way" and "2nd sucks" and "you be tails, i'll be sonic" were songs that grew on me later, especially the almost all screaming songs. but this album is definately a hit with me. i really enjoy it, and it was probably my whole soundtrack to my spring semester, plus or minus a couple of songs and bands i starting liking the last month, a lot of 90's/early 2000's rock stuff.
so there you go. i hope you enjoyed it. maybe take some listens to some of the songs or albums i mentioned.
Peace!

Dear ______, (Part 2 kind of)
I havent posted in awhile. Here is something good to get back into it.
Dear 1,
You know I am annoyed with you. But you can do nothing about it. You know you tried but I'm beating you up for it when i shouldnt. Its just I had high expectations, and then you kinda failed. But you have flaws when it comes to school, you cant do things like normal people. But maybe this was supposed to happen. Maybe the next semesters are gonna be better. There is always hope even though you fail to see it at times and say completely ridiculous things.
Love and Hope,
Someone who really cares about you
Dear 2,
Things have changed. I hope you got that. Times changes things and i cant help that. I hope you realize that. I mean being friends can be awesome, but you just seem to have that guy hang around you all the time. Or maybe i just see you when you are with him. I gave you music because i needed closure on that part of my life. That first semester was awesome, and i just needed closure on it and i needed to move on. I hope you liked your cd i made for you. I wasny being fake when i wrote those songs. But to be honest, its annoying as fuck when you say "oh lets hang out" and have me say "ok cool tell me when cuz im like always free" and then you never tell me. DAmnit come on now. Be true to your word. Oh well, maybe thta just happens to me.
Peace and Love,
Your friend whenever you want to be friends
Dear 3,
I know i told you those things. But it was my fault, it happened too late. Nothing is gonna happen and youre gonna find another guy, and thats life. I try to trust and give in, but i only get burned. I mean youre an awesome girl, but just the way things look now, it wont work. Maybe im looking too far ahead. I mean i would like it if it worked out,but i dont know i have things wrong with me and thats why i think this way. So i dont know. Maybe once i show you more of me, you cant take it and wont accept me. I dont know. I guess we shall see what happens.
Peace and Love,
Your friend
Dear 4,
We both go to college. Both of those are in indiana, but they are seperate schools. I think youre really pretty, and i think youre really awesome. You like a lot things i like, and youre doing something with music too which is awesome. But i dont think it would ever work. Im too far away from you. We couldnt hang out a lot. We couldnt do stuff together, and just everytime i talk to you i think im bothering you cuz you always seem busy. I mean i wouldnt mind if something occured between us but i doubt it will. Like i said i always look at your fb and think, "wow shes really pretty" maybe i just dont have the balls to tell you i sorta-kinda-like you if-we-talked-more-and-became-better-friends-and-got-to-hang-out-in-person-and-do-random-stuff. And i also told one of my friends that i would think i would end up liking you more if we ever ended up hanging out and stuff.
Peace and Love,
A kid who kinda likes you, but cant admit it
