I wish I had a Theme Song

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at George Mason University chapter.
I’m one of those people who thinks that everything would be better if I had my own daily soundtrack. Nothing outrageous, just a song playing in the background as I walk around campus and do my daily chores. At first, this idea may seem utterly ridiculous, but take a second to think about how much more interesting everything would be. Those boring walks to the mail room to pick up care packages would transform into conquests and adventures think something along the lines of Rocky and ‘The Eye of the Tiger’. While I can only fantasize about such a world, I make do with my iPod, and my newly purchased speakers and sub woofers. Here’s a glimpse into my current playlist for the perfect song to listen to when you are:
Trying to Get Out of Bed
Big Jet Plane (Michael Brun Bootleg)- Angus and Julia Stone

 

Checking Yourself out in the Mirror
You Be Killin Em- Fabolous
 

Speed Walking to Class
Rolling in the Deep (Remix)- Childish Gambino

So, there you have it; a glimpse into my iTunes and my life. What would your daily soundtrack look like?
