With a brand new school year rolling around, I have been on
the lookout for new hot trends to fervently record and copy in the next few
months.
I kid. But I have noticed certain
patterns that seem to have arisen in the past few years, and this year one is
more obvious than ever: music. As in, listening to music near-constantly.
Driving into school with the radio on, walking through the doors with earbuds
and a playlist on shuffle, even listening during class. A surprisingly large
proportion of students do this. Frankly, I don’t know how they can possibly
concentrate on anything around them with music blasting into their brains at
such a volume that it is audible across the hallway, but that’s not really my
concern.
