"If you don't have an iPhone, well then you don't have an iPhone" (Yep, I went with a really original title)

 We’ve all heard it, "You are always on your phone!" Our parents constantly nag us that we use it too much, either playing games, texting, using Facebook, or even tweeting; however, I don't feel like I use my phone that often. I do have unlimited texting, which allows me the freedom to text as much as I like, but I wouldn't call myself addicted to my phone; I usually don't have time to text people back all the time or play with random apps. My phone is actually kind of boring when it comes to games, I have a few that everyone seems to have but not much more. I love music but I'm not the kind of person that you pass in Target with one headphone in and the other earbud dangling. I use my iPod the most when I'm playing it on speaker and I'm with my friends but I also when I run and sometimes when I do homework. As for my perfect playlist...hmm, that's tough because I like a lot of music. My playlists are unoriginal in title, usually being called "1" or "2" but some are actual words like "Christian Rap." Over the summer I had to make the team video for my swim team and had to make a playlist for the photos, I’m choosing this playlist because it only has 5 songs. These songs are not necessarily songs that I listen to a lot, except the last one, but they were appropriate for the team with swimmers aged 4-18 because everyone could appreciate them. It’s titled Gators Mix, and it includes "Let's Get it Started (Spike Mix)" by the Black Eyed Peas because it has a fun beat and really brings out a "get going" vibe that we all had when we won the championship. It also includes "Everyday Superhero" by Smash Mouth because our team had a superhero theme this year and this song has lyrics about being best. The second and third songs really make people feel a sense of accomplishment with a nice beat in the back: "We are the Champions" by Queen and "You're the Best (Theme from Karate Kid)" by Beer Tone. These were perfect for a championship team's music because the build you up and make you feel good about being the winner. The last song I had on this playlist was "Good Life" by One Republic. It really tied the summer up and accompanied the senior swimmers' pics. It gives a relaxing instrumental and the voice is soothing while the lyrics talk about how good life is.
