I remember my first zit. Luckily, it was along my hairline, so it wasn’t super noticeable. To anyone but me. It was in seventh grade, when I didn’t want anyone to look at me anyway. I was that weird girl who wasn’t into makeup, so that wasn’t going to help anything either. So I … Continue reading Hot Take: “Eighth Grade”
I wasn’t doing it right. Okay, maybe there’s not a “right” and “wrong” way to date, but there are “healthy” and “unhealthy” ways to go about it. And I definitely wasn’t going about it in a healthy way. The cycle would be the same: I’d go into dating with the mentality that I would find the One. … Continue reading I Changed My Mind About Dating.
The first time I met my first love, it was at a video shoot. It seemed as though the stars aligned perfectly. He walked past me and my heart fluttered, and I remember looking across the gym we were filming in (which was all done up in lights and decorations, and I was wearing a … Continue reading Day 29: Make You Better – The Decemberists
Not that long ago, a friend of mine asked how I had my life together so well. I was flabbergasted. I looked at them like, seriously? I was not the person who had their life together. I haven’t had my life together since 2006. You can chalk it up to perception. On the outside, I might look like I … Continue reading Day 28: Polaroid – Imagine Dragons
Does Audrey like metal? The answer is, sort of. But usually, not really. If you really dug into my heavier taste, you’d probably define it as the gentler side of post-hardcore. I like it when former headbanger bands mellow out, grow into their thirties, and have kids – and so does their music. (Because if … Continue reading Day 27: Anthology – Thrice
There are few things in this world that can’t be cured by a good old-fashioned joyride. My mom and I were talking about this the other day. It’s sort of like a mini-vacation from the world. No matter what kind of car you drive or music you listen to, it’s a getaway. High school is … Continue reading Day 25: Beautiful – Ben Rector
It’s not easy to leave this life with absolutely no regrets. Regrets come with the territory of living, because we all make mistakes (thanks, Hannah Montana.) But most of us have a wish to arrive at the end of our lives – whenever that may be – having lived a full and good life – … Continue reading Day 24: No Hard Feelings – Manchester Orchestra
I used to think 22 was so adult and mature. Now that I’m here, I’ve never felt younger. As I got older in college, I felt more mature to a degree, but now, in the real world, there’s no ranking or seniority, other than what’s in place at my work. So in an entry-level position, … Continue reading Day 23: Ghosts – The Head and the Heart
To start off this post, I want to thank all of you who have been tuning in daily or weekly. I can’t believe I’ve tackled twenty-two songs already and only have eight left. So far, I’ve tallied 534 total views of this series, and I couldn’t be happier. Here’s hoping I’ll finish this off well. … Continue reading Day 22: Porcelain – Emarosa
I have a pretty set idea of what I want my wedding playlist to be. Not that I’m anywhere close to being married right now, but it’s fun to dream. And it’s always fun to build playlists, am I right? A wedding playlist is special because it’s your day and, hopefully, your music. You get to share what you … Continue reading Day 21: Trade Mistakes – Panic! At the Disco
