The Archives Soundtrack of my semester Published 4 years ago - Staff Writer Celia Rose Smith – Assistant Editor-In-Chief My semester can be summed up as a messy collage of personal struggles—snippets of puffy eyes, mental breakdowns, an inability to properly function, poems so emo they leave my class silent and a Spotify playlist entitled “chaotic affliction.” Instead of attempting to reflect on the complex suffering and overall melancholy that these past few months have contained, I’ve compiled a list of tracks that speak to me—a mixtape of my mind and a soundtrack of my semester.
