Leah Minjae Song (PAP) Senior year is like listening to a broken radio that repeats the same phrase over and over again.

“Merry Go Round” by Kacey Musgraves sounds like an ordinary country song but once the lyrics are read and analyzed listeners realize that it is nothing but. Ordinary country songs would be praising the small towns that the artist grew up in and displaying it in a good light but Mugraves’ song describes rural towns as boring and explains how fake the residents are‚ “Mamas hooked on Mary Kay/ Brothers hooked on Mary Jane/ And Daddies hooked on Mary two doors down”.

love may be more absurd than funny. His speech is an explanation of why people in love say they feel "whole" when they have found their love partner. It is‚ he says‚ because in primal times people had doubled bodies‚ with faces and limbs turned away from one another. As somewhat spherical creatures who wheeled around like clowns doing cartwheels‚ these original people were very powerful.

Everyone on earth has a human experience‚ but none of our human experiences are exactly the same. Our joys are different‚ our struggles are different. All humans experience pain‚ suffering‚ sadness and loss in different way‚ but it is the happy times we have that make all the bad times worth it.
