2009: the first Twilight Saga movie gets released

5042952837 — 2024-01-28 21:17:11 UTC

It's a rainy Saturday and I'm sitting in the living room with my mom. My dad is elsewhere in the house, or out and about and my brother is gaming in a different room. My mom and I are sitting in a reclined seat on our preferred couch and we've just started the first movie. The house is a little cold and has a bit of a cool light since the sunlight coming in the windows is gray. "I've never given much thought to how I would die. But dying in the place of someone I love seems like a good way to go." says off-screen Bella. My mom and I spend the day watching the series and calling out red flags while we watch. Now though, the Twilight Saga is nearly impossible to find, Netflix removed it, and Peacock keeps putting it on their platform for limited times, like what McDonald's does with the McRib.

2010: Baby- Justin Bieber

5042952837 — 2024-01-28 21:19:14 UTC

This song has been ingrained in many people my ages brain, that I've met anyway. Just a few lyrics, just the sound, or even this era of Justin. This song was performed by one of the groups in a lip sync competition at a Speech and Debate comp when I was in junior high. I remember sitting in the gymnasium at the school with all the speech and debate kids (some dramatically some not) singing the lyrics to one song, and a bunch of Carthage kids telling Camila to go off when she was singing all the lyrics in the rap part. One thing about speech and debate is everyone is in dress clothes, but you bring a change of clothes for after, like sweats and a hoodie or something. I had thought I was done so I had already changed into sweats by then. But, what I didn't account for was joining my friends in a lip sync and dance of Careless Whisper and proceeding to win against the other 3 or so groups. Including the one who performed Baby.

2011: Dance Moms

5042952837 — 2024-01-28 21:38:21 UTC

Dance Moms is easily one of the more iconic shows out in the US. Unfortunately its been out of production for years, however we still have a few good seasons from it. This is one of the shows that me and my best friend will put on and watch while we read tarot cards, play a game, make bracelets, or talk. Sometimes someone will say something a bit out of pocket and our attention gets drawn from the beads to the crazy moms on screen and Abby's "explosive" personality.

2012: The Hunger Games movie series 1st movie comes out

5042952837 — 2024-01-28 21:42:15 UTC

Whenever you are sick, there's always something that comforts you, whether that be food or movies or something of that sort. This series is one of those things for me. I am prone to getting sick more often than most of my family, and I remember watching these movies, or sitting up late at night making bracelets and watching the series. Another thing I sometimes do is shove both of our futons together and put a comforter, pillows, and other blankets in there and it makes a sort of nest. The movies make me happy. One day, it´ll be considered one of those “old” movies few want to watch.

2013: AM album by Arctic Monkeys

5042952837 — 2024-02-01 13:39:44 UTC

It's Halloween and my friend and I are sitting in my dad's truck dressed up and Coraline and Wybie, waiting for him to finish picking up some incense. While I'm scrolling through my YT music to find what to listen to when I remember I have the AM album downloaded. I scroll to it and hit play, and then the guitar in "Do I Wanna Know?" starts playing. When listening to one of their favorite bands, we sing as anyone would. My friend and I are singing these lyrics that we know by heart until my dad hops back in the car and we head to the haunted house. We both love Arctic Monkeys and love every song by them, however, they are only going to produce one more album after The Car, and then they will disband.

2014: "Happy"- Pharrell

5042952837 — 2024-02-01 13:43:03 UTC

This is one of those songs you heard everywhere then. It was on the radio, it was in videos, in movies, it was just everywhere. Driving down the street by Braums and the Arvest listening to this song on a warm summer’s day with everyone in the car singing along. Or in a band fundraiser video and it's to the tune of the song. Everyone is smiling or snickering a little because the song is a bit cringy but it's still fun. This song has disappeared from videos and it is no longer as prevalent.

2015: Inside Out

5042952837 — 2024-02-01 13:46:10 UTC

I remember re-watching this movie yet again because it is one of the few movies my brother would watch at the time. The scene where she was remembering skating with friends was very relatable for me then. Seeing it become bittersweet instead of just happy or sad is just something I could see myself in. I never skated, but this came out the year I had moved from Belton and no longer lived just down the street from my best friend. I'd known her since pre-school. Back then I could at least see her once or twice a year, or I could contact her.

2017: "Stressed Out"- twenty one pilots

5042952837 — 2024-02-01 18:22:42 UTC

It's midsummer and I'm at my cousins' house. My older cousin, Lina, and I are floating in the pool, either on floaties or swimming, and she's got this new doughnut floatie that she bought. Tan with pink frosting and sprinkles, with a bite taken out. If you know you know. I can smell the pollen carried in the wind and the water from the pool. The sun is beating down on us as we sing the lyrics to "Stressed Out" while we swim.

2018: Among Us

5042952837 — 2024-02-01 18:26:05 UTC

It's around midnight and I'm on a call with two of my friends just chatting, gossiping, advising, and so on. We are all playing Among Us on our phones. Since it's so late I have to speak quieter than normal, which causes a friend of mine and I's voices to become indiscernible to the third for some reason. "Who just said that" became a recurring theme of the night. One of us can't get imposter ever. Every single game he gets crewmate, as his frustration increases. Eventually, we call it a night, around 2 am when I just entirely pass out.

2019: "Old Town Road"- Lil Nas X

5042952837 — 2024-02-01 18:32:54 UTC

This song played a pivotal role in 2019 for me. For one, my cousin, Alekzander, and my brother, Luca, would not stop singing this song. They were insanely obsessed with this song, not a first for either of them. In the car we would have to listen to it at least once, and while I liked this song at first, that didn't last long. Second, they played this song at an end-of-school assembly at Columbian Elementary. It was a gym cram packed with K-4th grade kids all waiting to be dismissed from the assembly and they start playing this song. It becomes a gym full of singing K-4th kids very quickly.

2016: Hamilton

5042952837 — 2024-02-04 18:36:51 UTC

It's late summer/early fall and I'm sitting in the back of the car with my family, singing Hamilton lyrics to the songs blasting. My brother isn’t particularly enjoying it, and my dad is partial, but my mom and I are loving it. Timing the lyric “Just you wait” to sing to my brother when he asks if we can change it.

2020: Friday Night Funkin'

5042952837 — 2024-02-05 04:43:28 UTC

As an older sister, it is my responsibility, nay, it's my job, to be better than my younger brother in any game that we both play. Friday Night Funkin' is one of those games.

He calls me to come look at this new game he just got. He's been stumped for a while and so he asks me to try it and I fly through this game on easy mode, and I go back and complete it on normal mode which he cannot do. I come back home from school to his report that he's completed something due to having extra time since he does online schooling so he's home. One day, he'll be better than me at this game, but for now, that day has not come.

2021: "Industry Baby"- Lil Nas X

5042952837 — 2024-02-05 04:45:26 UTC

When this came out my brother became OBSESSED with this song. Like, obsessed. He’d sing it all the time. In the car, in the store, walking through a room, like any time. Not even the lyrics mainly. Just the trumpet and basic beat. For quite a while he moved on to a different song. Another song was one called something like Coco Chanel. Roxanne was one too. Anyways, in 8th grade, I heard something about it being added to the band’s pep tunes, and this year during a full band rehearsal, we had to pull it out. We've started playing it as a pep tune at basketball games.

2022: Depp v. Heard case

5042952837 — 2024-02-05 04:48:00 UTC

I’m sitting in the truck with my dad headed to Walmart to pick up something. I’ve got my phone connected to the truck’s Bluetooth and we are listening to the case (I’m watching as well) as we head there. And if you've ever been to Walmart in Carthage in around mid-late summer you know there are swarms of small black birds that fly above the parking lot. Like the red-ish flowers who flew in the sky in the Croods movie who then tried to attack the Croods. But we talk about what the case is going on about and where there are loopholes in her claims, as well as how poorly her representative was doing because there was no winning for her.

2023: Gypsy Rose is released

5042952837 — 2024-02-05 04:51:52 UTC

One of my best friends I've known since pre-school. We practically grew up together until 2nd grade when I moved but even then we still kept in touch and saw each other multiple times a year. I remember once I was going over to her house, maybe before 7th or 8th grade, and we went downstairs. The lights were off because the natural light was enough, but it was a little bit cooler since it was downstairs. We were near the base of the steps and you could see the sunlight streaming in from the skinny windows on the sides of the front door. But we were sitting down there talking and I remember she had the show about Gypsy Rose on Hulu pulled up on her phone and we were semi-watching that but mainly catching up. Unfortunately, I haven't seen or heard from her in a while.

2024: Artifact I want to add this year

5042952837 — 2024-02-07 18:44:26 UTC

I like band and jazz. It's just a fact, like the sky is blue, and Earth revolves around the sun. I plan to pursue a career path in music. I want to perform a smooth improv solo at a jazz festival. I'm in a jazz combo band that relies heavily on solos to lengthen the song, so I'll be practicing often, but the goal is to improve my tone in jazz and how well I can improv. Otherwise, it's making it to a leadership role within the band for the next school year.
