I’ve been putting off writing. Too busy feeling a lack of motivation these past few weeks while away from the place and the people I love most. Instead of giving the world another melancholy playlist full of dance bops– I want to share the 9 songs I listened to in February when we were last on campus together

It’s your sophomore year roommate’s housemate’s birthday and you felt comfortable enough with the Facebook invite list to show up fairly “early.”
