While putting together my playlist, I  wanted to share the different songs I would play on repeat when I was younger to the adult that I am now.

Every time “Un-thinkable” by Alicia Keys, “We Belong Together” by Mariah Carey, “Yeah!” by Usher or “Promiscuous” by Nelly Furtado, pops up on my playlist it draws me right back into my early childhood.

All of these songs have played a role in my life and lifted me up in some way or went with whatever mood I was in. I would dance to these songs and sometimes I would imagine I was in a music video for these songs because, why not? I hope these songs can do for you what they did for me and put you in a smiling or dancing type of mood.

SUPPORT STUDENT MEDIA

Hi, I’m Maria McGinnis, a senior journalism student from Stow, Ohio. I’m also the editor in chief of A Magazine. My staff and I are committed to bringing you the most important and entertaining news from the realms of fashion, beauty and culture. We are full-time students and hard-working journalists. While we get support from the student media fee and earned revenue such as advertising, both of those continue to decline. Your generous gift of any amount will help enhance our student experience as we grow into working professionals. Please go here to donate to A Magazine.
