Music has been the one constant in my life. If you see me around campus, I will 99% of the time have one AirPod in listening to music. By now, I have a Spotify playlist for pretty much everything, whether it is one I made or one I found. One of my favorite things is listening to the mixes Spotify creates out of the songs I listen to on a daily basis. It includes songs I have already listened to and similar songs Spotify thinks I will like. Here are my current top songs for different moods or situations!

My taste is all over the place with songs from Disney to pop to alternative to songs I found while scrolling through Tik Tok. I try to distinguish songs between moods and situations, but in reality, I have a lot of the same songs in multiple playlists since the tone can change depending on the songs played around the particular song. Play around with different genres for each mood to allow yourself to discover new music.
