My Favorite Music of 2022

               This was an interesting year—musically. At the beginning of 2022, my listening habits were largely the same—always in the background.

Taylor Swift as Greek Chorus

I am thirteen, squished in the back rows of the bus on the way to middle school, when I hear the song for the first time. We only have two turns left until we park and climb off for another day. I am in the seventh grade. In the mornings, I buy two chocolate chip… Continue reading Taylor Swift as Greek Chorus
