Every Semester has its Soundtrack.

Happy Valentine's Day, readers!  I'm not one of those people who's totally into all the mushy-gushy stuff this day has to offer.  But I'm also not one of those people who posts depressing statuses about how terrible it is being single today, either.  To me, I guess, today is just...Tuesday.
That being said, I'd like to do something now that I've been wanting to do for a long time.  In fact, I probably should've done this towards the end of first semester.  But hey, better late than never, right?
So as my Valentine's Day gift to everyone who faithfully reads my blog, I'd like to share with you the top five songs that will forever remind me of the first semester of my freshman year of college.  I should point out that all the songs you're about to see are songs that were constantly playing in the bathroom in my hall last semester.  So without further ado...

Top 5 Songs that will Always Remind Me of First Semester


5. Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5

I had heard this song before I came to Sioux City, but it never got stuck in my head every other day until I heard it every two hours in my dorm.  If you've never seen this video, don't expect it to be very "normal."  Consider yourself warned.

4. Good Life by OneRepublic

The first time I heard this song in my hall bathroom, I felt like I could really relate to it!  Basically, the lyrics talk about a guy who ends up in a foreign city he's never been to.  All his friends wonder where the heck he is while he's living the "good life"  in this spectacular city.  If only he were talking about Sioux City, not London, this could be my anthem.

3. Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People

I have to admit, I didn't realize what this song was about until, well, just a couple weeks ago.  When you figure it out, I wouldn't advise advocating the message to young children.  Or anyone, for that matter.  Nevertheless, I'm sure my neighbors heard me humming this tune on a regular basis.  

2. Hello by Martin Solveig and Dragonette

I had never heard of Martin Solveig or Dragonette before I heard this song.  In fact, I didn't know who sang this until I searched for it on YouTube to put in this post!  But it's definitely a catchy song, thus making it easy to get stuck in my head and forever remind me of semester one of college.

1. You and I by Lady Gaga

WARNING: This is a typical Lady Gaga video.  It's very strange.  That being said, I absolutely love this song.  I'm a big Gaga fan (there's a giant poster of her hanging above my desk), and I think the lyrics and story to this song are brilliant.  Feel free to disagree, just keep it to yourself, please.

Well, that's about it!  Perhaps I've inspired a new playlist for you...or not.  Either way, have a great day, my dear friends.  Spread the love.  :)
