Even though I'm no longer in school, its hard not to have some nostalgia when the end of summer is here and school is starting and you look up in the mountains and see some color changes. It was a season of change literally with the weather but also with the new people you would see, the new classes you had, a new grade you were in. It was a really fun time, but it was also a little nerve wracking with all the unfamiliarity and unknown around you. I have a strong association with some music when school started. I've made a mix tape in honor of those seasons of change, which include songs I remember listening to when I was in high school and early college (bear in mind that some of these are guilty pleasures that are only listened to for pure nostalgia reasons) to some that remind me of those times. Boyz II Men, Amy Grant, Paula Abdul, Jesus Jones and REM's Shining Happy People....all of these songs remind me of not being able to go to sleep the days before school (I think i was going into middle school at the time) and the radio station KISN 97.1 played these songs over and over....and over again it seemed. Anyway, enjoy.
