I was 20 the first and last time I tried this challenge out, and had just seen my favorite band live for the first time. I started it during what I like to call my summer of love, just about a month before my final semester in college started. I was an idealistic girl preparing for graduation and "the real world" then. Not that I'm not that idealistic girl anymore, nor do I know my way around the real world now. But as I said, a lot can happen in a year or two. Since that time, soon as I was released from the still relatively sheltered institution that is college (sheltered = bells to remind you of schedule, guide questions, free cuts) and got my feet wet in the working world, I believe I've developed new perspectives/ideas about the world and life in general.
And now I'm 22--it just strikes me as such a grown up age (compared to 20 and 21), like the start of "real adulthood" and the past 2 years were just practice. Haha. Anyway, I also tend to think-slash-reflect a lot. Obviously. It comes naturally, and anyone who knows me well understands this. So now seems like a good time to try this out again. I usually make playlists for my birthdays, and/or pretty much any event or day I feel like. But this time I'll do this instead. It's also a personal effort to kick-off the year and make the first 30 days of my 22nd year a little more interesting. Because I also want this to be an interesting, eventful year. Lastly, I'm interested to see how my music preferences have changed (or not) since college.
This challenge requires one song to be posted everyday for 30 days. Each day, one song that makes you feel a certain way. Pretty exciting to see what I'll come up with.

15-June | DAY 1: Your Favorite Song | Glowing - The Script
Starting this with something from a band no one would question I picked. Haha. If there's one thing I'm sure hasn't changed since the last time I did this, it's my love for The Script.

Glowing has such a good energy, a nice steady build up, and a simple message expressed in a profound way. Classic The Script. Also, who wouldn't fall in love with Danny's lyrics and passionate vocals on this track.

16-June | DAY 2: Your Least Favorite Song | Glad You Came - The Wanted
