Contrary to the experiences of a multitude of my peers, my middle school experience was, for the most part, positive and beneficial. Not to imply that I enjoyed middle school more than Elementary School, but during middle school, I met new people, tried new things, and branched out socially. Eighth grade especially was when I was shaped more into the person I am today, more so than any other grade in middle school. A significant part of my Eighth grade was not only branching out socially, but branching out musically. Prior to the beginning of the school year, I began to receive drum lessons. I am still taking these lessons, as I have found something soothing, yet invigorating in drumming. This is also the year that I began listening to music much more, but not current pop music. I’ve listened to numerous amounts of 70s and 80s songs mostly. The only thing close to pop music that I listen to is music that was popular in 2010. When listening to this music, I found that one of these songs seemed to represent my eighth grade year almost perfectly. This song is Some Nights by fun.
Some Nights is a song that paints a picture of a man who’s figuring out what he wants, what he believes, and who he is. It is about rejecting the barriers and the “norms” that society creates. …show more content…
This year, I have been trying to figure out what kind of a person I want to be. I wasn’t really sure at the beginning of the year, but I did know one thing. I was not going to be someone who blended in with the crowd. I wanted to do my own thing, because trying to fit in when you were never meant to fit in doesn’t work. “Believing the hype” is quite overrated, and doesn’t push one’s self to be their own person.Some people couldn’t accept that I was comfortable with being my wacky, quirky self, so they tried to “jack my style”. Thankfully, I never let them, or else I wouldn’t have turned into the unique person I am
