Coming up are 5 songs that represent me in various different ways such as birth, milestones, personality, loss, dreams, or opinions on various subjects. Links to each song will be placed below the titles. - Not Afraid by Eminem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5-yKhDd64s This song represents me because it shows how Eminem bounced back from a series of significant scrutiny due to various false accusations for some acts against the law. He became depressed from this and he went into hiding for a period of time. Once he was ready to come back, he wrote this song and released his first album in two years with this song as the lead single. In November 2017, I went through a six week period during which I was depressed because I believed that nobody liked me and thought I was a bad person. I thought I did something to someone for them to hate me. These are common feeling to what Eminem had when he released this song but one difference, he was accused, I wasn't. I, in a way, accused m...

She took a deep breath and said to her boss, a very greedy and frugal man, "My pay is insufficient and I'd like you to accept this letter of resignation." The boss was hyperventilating extravagantly. She braced herself for yet another temper tantrum out of the bossman, the very last. "He always saves the best for last," she thought. In this case, the worst is last. As expected it came, worse than ever before. He cursed and threatened in ways where repeating is impossible due to the level of profanity chosen by this absolutely horrible man to be uttered. The boss wouldn't calm down and she attempted to calm him down. More and more time went on, he pounded on the crummy government-issue desk and there were now multiple dents visible. He pounded and screamed so hard that the German-made Pilkington window, advertised as safety glass, shattered into 19 million pieces. The entire room was looking at him now and the CEO upstairs heard thumping from below. He shows ...

The new year came and went and 2.30pm finally rolls around and I get in the car bound for Colorado. 1075 miles, 16 hours, 4 states. Fast forward to 2.00am after the time zone change so 3.00am in this case my dad gets tired and stops to sleep. It's -11 outside and he turns off the car. Do you expect me to sleep when it's maybe 10 degrees in my car? Really? So my jacket is on and I try to sleep but I'm beyond uncomfortable and then my dad turns on the car and the heater and I'm burning. No luck for me and I don't want to wake up my dad by taking the jacket off so I don't sleep at all. I was trying to text people on Snapchat to no avail as it was 3-4-5am in Chicago. I decided to be the weirdest person in the world and attempt to gain the #1 overall world ranking in the game of guessing airport codes also to no avail (I'm still #2). I got bored and began staring at my surroundings: a Sinclair gas station, a TravelCenter of America sign reading gas prices and ...
