My High School Exchange Year Playlist
Music plays an important role in your lives, or at least in mine. Today I want to talk about the songs I listened the most during my stay in the United States of America. They are not necessary songs of artists I love or know well, but for one reason or another, they were part of my experience.
"This city never sleeps at night. It's time to begin, isn't it?"

"I wish that I could be like the cool kids"

"Hope when you take that jump you don't feel the fall. Hope when the water rises you built a wall. Hope when the crowd screams out it's screaming your name. Hope if everybody runs you choose to stay. [...] I swear I lived."
- I Lived by One Republic
"And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them, like every single wish we ever made. I wish that I could wake up with amnesia, and forget about the stupid little things."

These are some of the songs which were part of my playlist during my exchange year and have a particular meaning to me, but others are Shake It Off (because it was played everywhere, it was impossible not to listen to it at least 5 times a day, lol), Africa (because my host brother played a few times during spring break), Love Me Like You Do, Want You To Want Me and a few others. Which songs did you listen to the most on exchange? Comment below to let me know!
- Cris
See you again!
