On this chill Sunday, the Scholars and I shared our favorite songs that we could listen and relax to, while reflecting on how the song made us feel. I am going to share my reactions to a few of the songs played.

Islands in the Stream by Dolly Parton: This song gave me really relaxing but passionate vibes. I got that the premise of the song was about uniting in love and wanting to sail away with someone. This song made me feel very empowered after listening to it.

Stuck with U by Ariana Grande ft. Justin Bieber: I love this song because it came out exactly when quarantine started, and I listened to the lyrics and realized that it was referencing quarantine as well, which I thought was funny. I like this song because it makes me realize that celebrities like everyone else on this earth is affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and everyone has to quarantine regardless of your status.

Hey Look Ma I Made It by Panic at the Disco: This song is a classic, and I particularly love this song because it inspires me to keep working for my dreams. My end goal is to get my dream job and be able to sing this song (not literally) but metaphorically to my mom or my entire family to celebrate that I have accomplished my goals.
