Chapter 1: Introduction to New Sounds
Greetings, music enthusiasts!
I trust that your September has been rewarding and smooth sailing so far. As I commute to work today, the city seems quieter than usual, allowing me some space to share my thoughts. With over 100 new followers since my last playlist update, many of you may be unfamiliar with this series. Essentially, I share a brief life update alongside ten songs that have been my go-to for the month. Here are the tracks that have accompanied me through this transitional September!
Life update: Being relatively new at my job, I participated in a campus scavenger hunt recently. It proved to be a fantastic way to familiarize myself with important spots around campus, and I even captured some fun moments, like the picture above.
Enjoy the playlist below, and I’d love to hear your thoughts! You can also find the complete Spotify playlist link so you have all the tracks in one place.
