Music is my drug.

I use my iPhone too often. Ever since I got it a few months ago, I've pretty much been inseparable with it. It's quite ridiculous how a little gadget like that can be such a big part of your day, but it does everything you need except breath for you. I'd be surprised if I went more than about 15 minutes without checking my phone (even for no apparent reason).

That being said, it also amazes me how much I listen to music. I guess it's because music is so darn handy. Whatever I might be feeling, there's a song for that. I listen to hours upon hours of music everyday, and if I tried to go without it I probably wouldn't be able to get through my day.

So here's my me-time playlist. When there's nothing to do, these are the songs that will keep me sane.

1. Eminem - Lose Yourself. Rap is my favorite genre, Eminem is the best rapper, and this is his best work. Eminem is one of my favorite artists just because of all of the crap he went through in his life and he still came out on top, and this song could just give anyone a burst of confidence when they need it.

2. Lupe Fiasco - The Show Goes On. Lupe is also a great rapper, and this song is real inspiration. It's basically a message to anyone in the world going through a rough patch or struggling, and it tells them to keep going and hang in there.

3. Rise Against - Make It Stop. This is probably my favorite rock song, because of its message. It addresses the issue of homophobia, and really instills a sense of hope and reminds me that people out there still care so much about things like this.

4. OCD: Moosh & Twist - Take Me Back. A catchy beat and some nice lyrics, coming from two kids that just want to make it big.

5. OneRepublic - All This Time. This is pretty much my cooldown song, because it is so relaxing and peaceful.
