Personally, I think music is an essential part of everyday life. Music can set the mood for every occasion. There is music at weddings, dancing clubs, funerals, graduations, etc. For any typical day, a person can enjoy multiple main stream music such as, R & B, techno, country, rock, rap, and more. I consider music very important because it has the ability to relieve stress. It also can make a person feel energetic with its rhythm. Also, studies shows that listening to music enhance brain neurons to be more active. Students therefore can concentrate more during school activities. I listen to music almost every day. It's really hard to say what my favorite kind of music is because I listen to so many different kinds. It's also heavily depending on my mood. When I am taking a drive, I mostly listen to techno, especially if I am going really fast on a cool summer day. I often go to the club just to feel the beat of a hip-hop or techno song. It's a really great way for me to end my long day at work. When I'm working at my restaurant, the instrumental music is a constant reminder that "this is not a fast food; I can't walk fast or talk real loud." At any time when I want to take a nap, I would turn on really slow songs to put me at ease. When I'm with my girlfriend, she would listen to love songs, which I also don't mind at all. I really enjoy the work of Bryan Adams, Richard Marx and other alternative rock bands because their songs talk about realistic issues relating to love and life. In addition, I also listen to many rap or country songs, even though I don't like them all that much. There are times when I feel a certain way, so I listen to a song that explains the way I feel. It can also recall the memories that I have missed.
             I guess the phrase "you are what you listen to" really applied to my personality because I am always so undecided.
