Mixtape 03 | Summer Roadtrip

Remember that time I made those Mixtapes? Probably not. BUT it used to be a thing, I swear it. Well my pal Sierra recently made her ultimate summer roadtrip playlist and it got me thinking about those old mixtapes I made and why did I stop doing that? And also, I've been the queen of roadtrips so far this summer, with plenty more to go. Between Andrew and I we have quiiiiiite the playlist assembled for those times on the road when everything starts getting hazy and hot and sleepy and you just really need a nice pick me up to get you through the next 4 (or 15) hours. Let me tell you, as far as car dance parties are concerned, we are royalty. Combine all that with the fact that I'm a biiiit of a music snob and you've basically got yourself the most perfect (albeit eclectic) soundtrack for your roadtrip. Whether your destination be an hour away or 27, I hope this finds you in high spirits with the open road stretched out ahead of you, a cold drink in your hand, and a cooler of snacks in the back seat.

Mixtape 02 FINALS

Ugh. So it's time for the dreaded finals week. I hate how everything is so incredibly stressful leading up to finals. Pretty much the only way I motivate myself to actually buckle down and study is by creating extensive finals playlists. So I thought I'd share with you some of my very favorite study songs that help get me focused. You'll notice a lot (most) of them don't have words. That's because lyrics are so distracting to me! I always start paying more attention to the words than what I'm studying at the time.

Also, lots of classical music because I'm a cello performance major and therefore enjoy this stuff. Annnd classical has been proven to be really good for you brain, so that's good too. :)


(anything off that soundtrack is golden)

I tried making an actual playlist so you don't have to click on links, but most of these songs couldn't be found on the typical playlist sites. I would suggest making a Spotify playlist, as allll of these are on Spotify. Happy studying! :)

Mixtape 01

Andrew and I are kind of music snobs. We listen to a loooot of music pretty much 24/7. So I thought it might be nice to start making little "mixtapes" as it were, compiled of what we've been listening to recently.

Our anniversary is in about two weeks, so I thought it'd be nice for this first mixtape to be a compilation of some of "our songs" or whatever. Ya know, the sappy love songs that make us think of each other and stuff. Awwww.


(I realize that's a sad song, but it's just really 
important to us for a few different reasons)
