Assignment 15- Tom Polites

Prompt 2: How has music had an impact on your life? What is it about music that people find so wonderful? Name your favorite artists and songs and describe how they make you feel when you listen to them.

Music can change your entire temperament. There are times when I've felt down and in the dumps and the right song made me feel sky high. Even though I know it distracts me and likely makes me less productive, I enjoy listening to music when I do my homework, as it makes the pain of calculus slightly more bearable. The music someone listens to can say a lot about them as a person. For example if someone listens to Nickelback (cough cough Saurav) I know they are probably an unintelligent person who know nothing about good music.

For different moods I like to listen to different artists. If I'm feeling like an angsty teen and no one understands me, then Blink-182 is there to let me get my frustrations out. When I'm getting hype before an indoor soccer game or a church league basketball game, J-Cole and Kendrick Lamar give the confidence to dominate the game and break some ankles.
