Emotional Lyrics
by @samprice_ds106 January 29, 2020For this assignment, we had to choose an emotion and then choose 3 songs that fit to that emotion and explain why. I decided to choose the emotion “happy”. I decided to only choose songs that came out in the 80s to relate it to our theme. Here are the songs I chose! Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go by Wham!–I chose this song because it is my go-to dance song and dancing is one of my favorite things to do.

Letter to My Mom
by @samprice_ds106 January 29, 2020Dear Mama, Thank you for the countless hours you spend doing everything from making my lunch to making sure you’re there when I need a shoulder to cry on. You have always been my number one supporter throughout everything I do in life. You love me unconditionally, even when I am being the absolute worst. There is nothing I could do to repay you for all you’ve done for me. I’m sure having a child with Type 1 diabetes was not in your plan but you sure as hell have raised me to be the best version of myself, despite […] -

My Bucket List
by @samprice_ds106 January 28, 2020I remember when I was younger, my best friend, Kay, and I would constantly be coming up with bucket lists for us to complete.
