notes: the tone for this memo is very happy. I feel like in this one I was very new freshman college student high on life of being in a new place feeling like everything will go perfectly.

a lot of the things said in this voice memo has changed. Examples like I said in the video that I will be an art teacher plans have changed because the college took my major away and the program so I had to change my major to only being an elementary teacher. So as you can tell I now know more about things not really not going the way you think they will.

notes: I still relate to this statement. The tone of this is honestly starts out kinda sad but then I feel that I started to realize in life that no one cares about how you look. When you think that everyone is looking in reality no one is looking. No one cares how you dress and I feel that it took me so long to see that and in this memo I talked on the realization of seeing that no one cares.

I feel that everyone needs to realize that it takes so much stress off life when you stop caring.

notes: The tone of this was also pretty sad I feel that during this time at college I was struggling with my living situation and I got out, but in the end I feel like colleges should make more single rooms because the change from living with your family to complete strangers.

Getting chased was another hard thing for me which the case for that ended up getting closed for not being bad enough to do anything.

In a lot of ways this college has failed me time after time again. Still though I have stayed through it all. I will though be leaving in the spring to live with my boyfriend in gainsville and go to the ung gainsville campus.

notes: the tone of this explains of me being a first gen student but then also my other family members haven't really went far away to college.

In many ways I feel that I broke a family generation expectation. I feel that It shocked all of them, when I go home they always ask so many questions like they have never heard of someone leaving. They look down on me sometimes for it making me feel bad for leaving.

I feel that people should always follow their heart because yes I have had a hard time being here and finding my place and settling in but I needed it. It has giving me so many experiences that I would have never had.

notes: The tone in this is very my family tradition to keep religion in the family and to teach it. They go as far as building a church in their house and having church in their since my papa can't really preach anymore.

Religion has been such a big thing in family for as long as I have been alive and then before. They want the best for me and all of the rest of my siblings and cousins and they want to make sure we learn the teachings of god.

notes: The tone of this I feel like started with me talking about how I have always tried to be as good as my brother since he was older.

As time went on though I went my own way and started to not look at what he was doing. I started being better in my eyes. I left for college and he didn't. I became independent he didn't. I got jobs and he got a job but never really worked.

I feel that siblings make people so competitive. You have to always outdo each other. To be better than one another.

Tone: The tone of this is kinda sad to me. It's hard to rebel against my parents. I have to though because I want my dreams to come true I want to start my life and it will be hard to without doing this specific thing.

My choice makes me happy because it's what I wanted badly for a while. On the other hand though it will cause problems with my parents.

This choice needed to happen though because if I didn't rebel I don't think I could rebel later. I needed to break free.

for why I am here I chose this song by Taylor Swift. I chose this because it resonates with me moving away from a town that I never chose but the only thing that would make me stay in town I didn't want to be in was my boyfriend. Also because it is stating that I am now on my own but in a way I always have been because I have always been the independent unlike others in my family.

mwhall7697 — 2023-11-09 20:03:59 UTC

I choose this song for this voice memo because Taylor talks about not being as good as the girl that her crush dates but in the end he starts to like her more than his girlfriend in the music video. She starts to not care about her looks because she doesn't have to change herself to be with him.

Sure this is a weird choice to pick for this voice memo but if you listen to the lyrics closely what he is saying is very strange. Saying that he saw her in a crowded place which is what happened to me but then hes turns around to say that he has a plan wishing that moment could have lasted forever. In some ways I think this is how the person who chased me thought.

mwhall7697 — 2023-11-09 20:30:58 UTC

I chose this song because it's about choosing a different path than the rest of your family. It says that maybe you are the first artist and you want to see what it's like on that outside of that small town and you want to move to the mountains and that was so many reasons why I moved.

mwhall7697 — 2023-11-09 20:44:40 UTC

I chose this song because I relate to it so much. I have always been in the church I was born into because my family has always wanted me to know about god.

From such a young age the church was engraved into me.

mwhall7697 — 2023-11-09 20:57:34 UTC

I chose this song because Lainey talks about how her and her sister were raised in the same house and raised the same but still wound up on different paths. I feel like that is how me and my brother are we couldn't be more different than each other.

mwhall7697 — 2023-11-09 21:23:50 UTC

I chose this song because she says that she can't ever follow her own arrow because she gets judged. That is honestly how my parents make me feel. They constantly tell me what not to do even though I am in college and as an adult they still make me feel bad about my decisions.
