Writing out of the Day (WOTD):

Personal Playlist: (Lyndsay)

To start, choose 1-2 songs off your playlist that are meaningful to you. Free write about the reason the songs are significant to you. As you do, here are a few questions to guide your thinking about the songs:

What memories or emotions are associated with the songs?
Why do the songs define you or would be considered your personal anthem?
Why do the songs describe your life currently or from the past year?
