Wherever You Are

I am definitely a Sam Tsui fan. Seriously, all people have to do is make an upbeat song and have lots of people dancing and having fun in the video. That's all I need. 'Cause that's all I really want ^_^

Pop Medleys!

Sam & Kurt do it again! I'm a little bitter that The Way wasn't in here, but they got Get Lucky and that's literally all that matters. (heh)

The Lord Is Testing Me

Yes, He is. But I'm up for it, I think. Honestly, I see God changing my life for the better in many ways, especially recently. And I think part of that is improving my relationships with people. Today, I found out that our youth group is doing Secret Santa. So we will give little notes and trinkets and such for the next few weeks, and on Christmas we present them with their gift. I. Am. SO. Excited. Since I only came today, I got the last pick from the bag. And it's not easy. Which is completely my own fault. Younger Sammy found no need to make friends with this person, and so I know very little about the recipient. HOWEVER that will not stop me from trying my hardest. I hope my little notes will bring some smiles, and maybe, with time, I'll find the perfect gift. The Lord is indeed testing me, but I need this. And hopefully this starts a nice friendship. In the meantime, it would be SO HELPFUL if I could find this kid on ANY form of social media. But alas.

Admittedly I haven't heard the original song. But this cover? Is so gorgeous. Like, don't look at it as a sad song. Look at the beauty of the voice and the music and the honesty of the lyricist.

Prettiest of Views

Reason 357: Let's be real. Like 100% real right now. Le work crush. I know. I'm such a girl. It's gross. But dangit, the kid is cute! And talking to him makes me happy :) I only get to do so for about 20 more days. Let me be a dork while I can.

Kurt Schneider is a youtuber. Director. Music producer. His arrangements are always flawless. He rarely sings himself. He's worked with Victoria Justice, Liz Gillies, Keke Palmer, Max Schneider, etc.
He also works with other youtubers, including Pentatonix! And these 3 right here, who he's helped produce entire albums for, all of which are good. You should check him out.

Play Along

Reason 288: We had a LONG meeting for Alpha Psi today in which we elected all our officials for next year. I think we're in really good hands. Also, I got elected to head a committee! I am the head of the academic committee. Meaning I basically check everyone's grades to make sure everyone is okay to be in an honors fraternity. Also, I get to plan out field trips & the Holiday Cabaret! Next year shall be so fun. And we already have some things to get started on.

My new jam!

Ex Malo Bonum

Which means "Out of bad, good".

It's also an AWESOME Anberlin song

Reason 215: Sick days suck. Little things make it better. Call the doctor, get put on hold, hold music is Les Miserables. Relax all day. Thanks to inspiration by Alex, read through my yearbook and get all emotional. Watch all the youtube videos (I swear, as soon as I finished one, a new one would be uploaded!). Listen to so much music. And watch 101 Dalmatians. This McPlague (as the student body is calling it) will NOT get the best of me!
