One thing I do a lot is listen to music. I, like many others, find certain songs, fixate on them, and then move on to other music discoveries when I’ve exhausted that set of songs. Consequently, specific songs will very quickly take me back to one particular moment in my life. Playing one album will remind me of fall of my sophomore year of high school, while another will remind me of the summer before my first year of college. This non-cohesive playlist below features some of the songs/artists that I’ve been listening to this summer, and will inevitably forever be associated in my mind with all of the experiences, including WAGSFP, that I’ve had during this time.
This list is all over the place so sorry in advance!
