1. May We All  (Florida Georgia Line) 
I like this song personally because of how much it relates to my childhood and my hometown.  I grew up in a small town (Blissfield), and I think that it had a really big affect on how my life has turned out.  This song is all about appreciating what you have.

 2. The Ones That Didn't Make it Back Home (Justin Moore)
This song really hits home for me.  I know several people who have not been able to make it home to their families because they laid down their life for the United States.  Justin Moore does a great job explaining what it is like to live in a town where our soldiers are recognized and appreciated.

3. Fast (Luke Bryan)
In this song, Luke Bryan reflects on his childhood and how he believes it went too fast.  As children, most of us cannot wait to grow up and be on their own.  Now, most of us wish we could go back and take things a little bit slower.  This song is very relatable in that it teaches us to be patient and enjoy where we are with our lives.

4. Kiss Me Thru the Phone (Soulja Boy)
This upbeat (old) song is something that has been trending on social media the past few months due to COVID19.  Personally, I think that this is very clever and so relevant to our lives today.

 5. Smile (Uncle Kracker)
I miss the days where I could go out with my friends and see everyone smiling.  In this classic, Uncle Kracker sings about how people make him smile, which is exactly what I am ready to see again.

 6. See You Again (Wiz Khalifa) 
I don't think I need to explain this one too much, but during these times with COVID19, I cannot wait to see all of my friends and family again- Which is exactly what Wiz Khalifa talks about during this song.

 7. Sixteen (Thomas Rhett)
In this song, Thomas Rhett describes something similar to what Luke Bryan sung about.  He talks about how we are always wishing our lives away.  As a child, I was always so ready to grow up and be on my own.  Now, I wish I could go back and slow it all down.

 8. Five More Minutes (Scotty McCeery) 
Scotty McCreery reflects on his childhood to describe to us what he has felt during a series of events.  He discusses his last season of football, and tells the coach he wants five more minutes on the field before he has to buy a ticket to get into the stadium.  I think that this song is really relatable to me because I felt the same way my senior season of baseball.  

 9. I Want It That Way (Backstreet Boys)
Lets be honest, this song has always been one of my favorites.  The tune is good, the lyrics are upbeat and fun, and it is over all a good song.  That is why it is on my pandemic playlist.

 10. Homemade (Jake Owen)
Ever since this song came out, I have absolutely loved it.  Jake Owen talks about all of the things that he loves, and how they are all "homemade".  Rather, he describes that home made him love the things that he does.  Growing up in a small town, I think that this really relates to me in that my home made me love the things that I do.

 Finally, identify three ways that this video can teach people about community After watching the short film named "Elevator Music", I think that the authors purpose is to show what respect looks like.  In the video, it starts out with a young girl listening to "jivy" music, and an older man listening to slow tunes.  As the short film progresses, more people enter the elevator and "compete" their music on their phones with each other in volumes.  Finally, a young male comes in with a huge radio, and leaves everyone in the elevator interested as to what he would chose to play.  He pops in the disc and then to everyones surprise, pops in an earbud as well.  I think that the authors audience is meant to be the entire community. Often, we see people competing over silly unnecessary things, such as elevator music.  The author shows these people competing and being somewhat rude to one another, and then finally a young man that comes in and respect...

So there's these three pigs. They're all cousins. They're all afraid of this wolf guy, right? Well they hear that the wolf is on his way in to town for the weekend. This leaves the piggies terrified. They scram and go build houses for their families to stay safe from this scary wolf dude. The first pig, lets call him Wayne, isn't the brightest. He didn't get into Yam University and didn't get the job he wanted, so not only is Wayne uneducated, he' also broke. Wayne, having the right intentions in mind, makes this little hut to protect his family. The only issue is that this hut is made of straw. When Wolfy rolls around and they don't let him in; he huffs and puffs, and blows their house down. He proceeds to eat them all. Mean ol' Mr. Wolf wipes his chops and heads down the road to Walter's house. While Walter did get into Yam U, he struggled with drug abuse his entire life and couldn't afford the mansion him and his wife had dreamt about thei...

"You don't pass or fail at being a person".  In the novel Oceans at the end of the Lane,  Ginnie Hempstock states the quote above to the narrator.  Personally, I believe that Ginnie would be correct in making this statement.  Being a person means making mistakes and learning to embrace those mistakes to learn from them.  People are to love, learn, and make mistakes.  I personally have always felt strongly about not judging other peoples' lives.  We never know where someone came from, or what they have all been through.  Having said this, who are we to judge who passes and fails at life?  Too often in our society we see people dehumanizing others, meaning "depriving different peoples of positive human qualities" (Oxford University).  We can dehumanize others by not making them feel justified, not being accepting, separating people from things they love, and slowly taking away their dignity.  Most people do this to feel a sense o...
