Blog 2: Why Were Ditching Spotify (Sometimes)

-

Hey music lovers! Have you noticed vinyl records popping up everywhere again? And no, it isn't just some random junk you found in your parent's closet. There's a real reason why people are starting to switch/collect vinyl. I recently have started spinning record again, and it's been an amazing experience.

First off, the sound quality is incredible. There is a depth and richness to vinyl that you just don't get with digital music. It's like hearing your favorite songs for the first time all over again. Plus, there's something special about holding a physical album in your hands. The artwork, being able to see the lyrics, and a sense of owning the music is pretty groovy. It's a lot more engaging than your average digital playlist.

But beyond the sound and the nostalgia, vinyl is making a statement on physical media. In a world of endless streaming and downloads, vinyl encourages us to slow down and appreciate the music we love. It's a reminder that music is more than just a product, but also art. So, dust off those old records (or head to your local record store) and discover the magic of vinyl for yourself!

So, whether it's the sound, the experience, or just the cool factor, vinyl is definitely having a moment. It's not about replacing Spotify entirely, but about adding something more to how we listen to music. It's a way to connect with the artists we love on a deeper level and to appreciate music in a more mindful way. So go ahead, spin some vinyl and see what all the fuss is about.

      Some of My Polaroids: In a world filled with digital cameras and smartphones, taking pictures has never been easier, but also feels a little less meaningful at times. A solution, polaroid! Polaroid cameras bring back the charm of instant, tangible photos. Instead of scrolling through thousands of pictures on a screen, you get to hold a physical print just seconds after snapping the shot. Polaroids make each photo feel special, offering the unmatched feeling of holding a memory in your hands. Polaroids also invite us to slow down and be intentional. With limited film and no delete button, each shot counts. It’s a refreshing change from digital photography. Endless retakes can make moments feel less genuine. When you use a Polaroid, you’re not just taking a picture, but rather creating a one-of-a-kind memory that can’t be replicated or edited. Finally, Polaroids bring a sense of nostalgia and connection that digital photos can’t match. Whether you’re ha...

Balancing school, friends, and figuring out life can be a lot, but finding hobbies that chill you out is key. For me, that's diving into painting, getting lost in music, and geeking out over my collections. It's how I hit the reset button and keep my sanity. Hobbies provide an escape for many and contribute to a better overall well-being. So, these hobbies (and more) offer a balanced approach to leisure and personal enrichment. image source When I'm not stressing about college, you can usually find me with a paintbrush in hand. I'm no Van Gogh, but there's something super therapeutic about slapping some color onto a canvas and seeing what happens. Music is always a must while painting, it helps get the vibes right! The music provides an extra layer of inspiration, transforming a simple painting session. Collecting is another one of my quirks. It started with something small, but now I'm obsessed. It's a fun way to learn about new stuff and connect with other...

Let's be honest, LEGOs aren't just for kids. Sure, they're a fantastic toy that can spark imagination and creativity, but they're also a powerful tool for adults seeking stress relief.
