I\u2019ve had my Spotify Account since 2019. I celebrated its 5th birthday this past April, while I also celebrated my 10-year anniversary of living in America. It\u2019s so strange to look through my Spotify app because I haven\u2019t deleted anything<\/em>. There\u2019s 5 years worth of data just sitting there, completely untouched. That\u2019s probably why I don\u2019t have any storage on my phone, but I\u2019m a very sentimental person so I have to keep those awful playlists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My \u201cLiked Songs\u201d playlist is a literal time capsule. I can scroll through all 1,337 songs and remember the exact time when I added each to the playlist. In a few months from now, I\u2019ll scroll through and remember all the Fiona Apple songs I\u2019ve added recently. Or I\u2019ll find all of the Chappell Roan and flowerovlove that I added over the summer. 2020-2022 is definitely a dark period so I just close my eyes while I scroll through that section. Those songs don\u2019t get mentioned. Ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, I\u2019ve gotten to a point where I organize my playlists extremely specifically. I\u2019ve already touched on that (and my Pinterest boards!) in a past blog so I won\u2019t dwell. I make playlists for almost every scenario imaginable. When I was moving into MSA, I made 3 separate playlists for packing, driving, and unpacking. I haven\u2019t bothered to listen to those since then, but I know when I do, I\u2019ll feel like I\u2019m moving in all over again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSteph\u2019s Current Tunes\u201d is my number one playlist and also the oldest playlist that I still listen to. The only reason that\u2019s possible is because it\u2019s constantly changing. It\u2019s always alternating to whatever my favorite songs are at the time. The songs don\u2019t even have to fit in together at all, I just need a place where I can find whatever song I want to listen to as fast as possible. Right now, it\u2019s about 3 hours long because I haven\u2019t taken out any songs since summer, but usually it\u2019s around 1 hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My most recent playlist is titled \u201cUp In Steph\u2019s Room\u201d just like my RISE article. It\u2019s just supposed to capture my experience of being a teenage girl, just like many <\/em>of my other playlists. This one is a little more refined than the others and it\u2019s still a work in progress. My top 3 songs from this playlist are \u201cDon\u2019t Let the Good Life Pass You By\u201d by Cass Elliot, \u201cTeenage Girl\u201d by Cherry Glazerr (of course), and \u201cReal Love Baby\u201d by Father John Misty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The playlist that sits closest to my heart is titled \u201cyour new life will cost you your old one.\u201d That\u2019s also one of my favorite quotes and it\u2019s by Brianna Weist. I found it towards the beginning of the year and it still resonates with me so deeply. I made that playlist near the end of my sophomore year at my old school when I knew I would be leaving for MSA. My number one song from that playlist is \u201cDon\u2019t Delete the Kisses\u201d by Wolf Alice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I\u2019m making my 216th playlist, I feel proud that I have so much on my Spotify account. Even if all of my downloaded songs are taking up most of my storage, I\u2019m glad that I haven\u2019t deleted the account or anything. I think I\u2019ll try to keep it up for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
