Rob was controlling the aux and decided to be bold and take a risk, knowing full well it could blow up in his face. Do you guys remember Rob from the Dream Team Sitcom article? Well, not only is he great at hypotheticals but (whether he knows it or not) he changed my life one Friday afternoon in March of 2017. However, as hosts of a good party or pregame, having a good mix of classics with a few new songs sprinkled in is essential, so we always tried to experiment.Īnd boy, am I happy we did. If you control the music, you have two options: play a crowd-pleaser or throw something new on with the chance of losing aux privileges (possibly forever).īack in college, doing the latter meant you were taking a big risk, because while we all had similar tastes, putting on a new song that you vouched for but that turned out to be absolute garbage put a serious stain on your DJing privileges. However, every now and then, people take risks. Now you have to sneak an extra Chrome window behind an Excel sheet just so you can get the audio.Įveryone who’s played music in a room with other people knows there’s an unwritten rule that you put on a song everyone knows and likes when you have the aux in your possession. No more waking up on a Thursday in March, skipping Econometrics (obviously), and getting a nice 24-pack just in time for the opening round of March Madness. There is an emotional side to music and hearing any song that meant something to you in the past immediately gets you a little “in your feels.” It’s OK to cry-we all have-but the sad truth is there is no more college and that’s something that takes years to get over. “Love Story” by Taylor Swift? In my car with the windows rolled up and hat pulled down so no one can see me nailing every lyric. “Tennessee Whiskey” by Chris Stapleton? Sunday afternoon hanging out on the deck talking about the previous night and debating if “the pill” is necessary. “Roses” by Chainsmokers? Pregame at your house right before a verbal fight is about to break out over some pent-up “roommate isn’t doing his dishes” frustration. Whenever you hear these songs, you’ll be immediately transported back to the special moments you associate them with. Sure, you listened to thousands of different tunes during your time at school, but the songs that get played during the spring of your senior year will be ingrained in your head forever. It’s a huge time for parties as well as the music that serves as the soundtrack to those gatherings, which will inevitably find a special place in your heart. The only catch is you need to work at Geico for 40 years once it’s over. Here are a few months of memories you’ll never actually remember. It’s like life says, “Hey, you worked hard for the past 20 years doing this bullshit ‘school’ thing. However, that two or three-month span is the most fun you will ever have. ![]() ![]() You enjoy it as much as you can pushing the limits to the max because you know that in just a few short months, your life is going to do a complete 180 and you’ll be comparatively miserable for the rest of your time on the planet. You’re an adult, and even though you’re still in college, school is essentially over. Senior spring is the best time in any young person’s life. It turns out you can’t just walk in on the first day talking about “B hat” and “B star” and magically pass it). (side note: Econometrics is the hardest class of all time. I had about two more months of school left, but I knew a C- in my Econometrics class would be enough to get me to where I needed to be. In the spring of 2017, I was approaching the end of my senior year of college, where I had recently been informed a 2.2 GPA was good enough to walk at graduation.
