“Instead of studying for my exams this weekend, I wrote/recorded a song and shot a simple music video yesterday. I’ve never actually written a song before (so I’m not sure if I used best practice?) but it sounds like one enough to me… Like everyone in my graduating class, I’ve been feeling a lot of weird emotions — today marks my final “finals” week. I would try to write out said feelings, but why would I do that when this video pretty much sums everything up?”
