So today I had the idea to make a video at the end of summer and beginning of fall to explain some of the things that have influenced me during this fine and very hot season, but not only can I wait that long I am not going to be able to remember anything I have been influenced by at this time (the present). That is exactly what this post is for its sort of a mid summer review. So read on if you would like to see how I have been using my summer and you should take some of this as advice and let the next few subjects influence you!
Music:
Okay so first thing I have to talk about is the biggest thing that I have taken part in this summer and that is listening to music and drowning myself in it. I think the biggest music news of this year is the recent Fall Out Boy "reunion" album Save Rock and Roll. I do know that the album release was in April but the album is the most played on my "summer playlist". I do have to say that based on my taste a majority of the album was a 100 percent hit, but like every other album in the world there are some songs on there that I can listen too once or twice but then I start hitting the skip button on my iphone after that 3rd time playing. An example of the songs I enjoy the least on the album would be: Where did the Party Go, The Mighty Fall, and Death Valley. But with that said (getting the negative out of the way first,) I can say that there are a lot of songs on the album that I will probably love forever! The three top songs in my opinion are: Alone Together, Young Volcanoes, and Save Rock and Roll (ft. Sir Elton John.) So if you have yet to check it out go ahead and listen to the album and by the time you are done reminiscing about the Fall Out Boy legacy you will be getting on itunes and downloading the album and falling in love with the music and lyrics almost as fast as I did.
Top Ten Summer Songs (outside of Fall Out Boy):
1. Rivers and Roads-The Head and the Heart
2. We Get High and Vampires Kiss-John Gold
3. Hold on-Alabama Shakes
4. Silly boy-The Blue Van
5. Blurred Lines-Robin Thicke
6. Miley Cyrus- We can't stop
7. Bon Iver- Skinny Love
8. Bobcaygeon-The Tragically Hip
9. Chocolate-The 1975
10. Avicii-Wake me Up
Websites:
This summer the tech side of me has really came out of its cocoon and I have found a ton of useful websites especially for a broke college student. So here are a few:
Ten Dollar Mall:
This website is a HUGE life saver! It is a site that sells clothing, shoes, makeup, ect... for women, men, kids, and plus. The best part is that everything is under ten dollars hence the Ten Dollar Mall. I have already purchased at least 10 things from them and all of my clothes are great and the designers take a whole bunch of ideas from huge name brand stores and put them together to create a similar outfit that the "middle and lower classes" can afford. So if you want to get a lot of clothing for cheap go to 10 dollar mall!

Target:
I have a specific theory that I stick too when it comes to Targets products because when things first come out it is very expensive in my opinion and the theory is "to just wait." This is because if you wait maybe a month the items you once loved but had to forget due to the price are now 30-70% off because they are on clearance due to a lot of different factors, including decrease in demand, over stocking, and there are new things coming in to replace the older now less expensive products.
Link: http://www.target.com/
Etsy:
I have heard about the site etsy A LOT recently from people that rave about it so like the recommenders I was on Etsy and fell in love. You look through a whole catalog of subjects to find a product and the price is based on what you want due to its extensive filter when searching. I can say that 85 percent of the products sold on Etsy are homemade and thats why you are getting it so cheap because it is more of a private seller. But when you get the products from a private seller it has a very vintage feel to it and in my personal thoughts I think that vintage is an amazing look.
Link: http://www.etsy.com/
Songza:
Not only is Songza a website but it is an amazing app that I use almost everyday. When signing onto Songza it shows a "concierge" of different and very specific times to listen to music pops up that ranges between Riding in the car to Late night party. Then after you choose your time in the concierge it brings you to the genre you would like to hear and then you can listen to thousands of playlist based on what you told the app you would like to listen too.
Well yeah that's it for now in the MIDSUMMER REVIEW!

Hey I'm Chelsea I am a college student, with a blog.... Just something to do with my extra time. I make YouTube videos and I post those to the blog every time! I also post some information about music which I love because I not only love listening to music but I also am a musician myself! I am a vocalist and I also play guitar! So I hope you keep updated and enjoy my blog!

My favorite thing?
One of my favorite things in the world is when i find an exceptionally inspiring song that can change my whole mood in the 3 to 5 minutes its playing. Its the song I can listen too forever and every time i hear it there is a new meaning and the effect it has on me is even stronger than the previous time listening. It's sad because now a days it happens on very seldom occasions and it's usually not in with the "mainstream" music its a song i had to dig pretty deep for if its not on the dark path of youtube suggestions its in the background of a movie trailer, tv show, commercial, or feature film. I think that the only inspiring song that was on the radio was My Body by Young the Giant, and even that was on a community channel that usually doesn't come in, it just happened to be where my car was parked that the radio signal caught the channel. But I thank that one unique channel because it introduced me to Young The Giant.
A few (okay well more than a few) songs I found inspiring (but deffinately not all of them)
I hope some of you check these out and I also hope the songs have the same effect:
Jason Collett: Rave on Sad Songs
Violent Femmes: Good Felling
John Gold: Vampires Kiss
Passion Pit: Carried Away
A Fine Frenzy: Now Is The Start
Ellie Goulding: Anything Could Happen
Travis: Sing
Young the Giant: 12 Fingers
Coldplay: The Scientist, Fix You
Keane: Somewhere Only We Know
Radio Head: Creep, Fake Plastic Trees
Dashboard Confessional: Water and Bridges
Killers: All the things that I have done
Temper Trap: Sweet Dispositon
Nada Surf: Inside of Love
Hayley Taylor: No More Wishing
Modest Mouse: Float On
Mat Kearney: Nothing Left to Lose

New Blog Post!
Well, its been a while since I have updated so I shall post more often! Today I just want to say that I really miss high school... Not like the learning part but more of the organization of it. On a daily basis we had a place to be where we were able to talk and integrate with other people constantly. Now that its almost been a year since graduation I feel like the world had just flipped and the organization has just flew out the window. These days I wake up not knowing what I am going to do and just winging it and I end up wasting a lot of gas money. This is one of the reasons I strongly dislike the whole Sarasota area because it was built for the elderly and tourist, and for a young adult that's not fun. But soon it will change because I will be living in the hectic Orlando area with my best friend and her old friend and I feel like that will be the push I need to actually go out and do something. Speaking of Orlando we are going there for school and I am so confused about that one too. I would like to more than anything in the world to become a music supervisor. A music supervisor is the person that chooses the music too put into films, tv shows, commercials, games, ect...but yeah it sound like an amazing career to get into. The one problem is that I am always playing it safe, not only with choosing a career but with every thing....so what I am thinking as the safe way out is to get a degree as an ultrosound technician so I can have a job right out of college and then start working on the music supervision degree so I can have an income to be paying for the music school. I don't really see anything wrong with that but others disagree. So yeah that's my update and kids in high school enjoy it!
