In case you haven’t noticed by now, making playlists is my thing. Since the inception of my Spotify Premium subscription, constructing playlists has been my joy, my therapy, my processing and my relief. Now, as I rapidly approach the end of my Duke career, these playlists are becoming my closure. I don’t mean this as an “I never want to graduate” type of statement. Instead, I feel a bittersweet mix of fearing the time when my closest friends may be states or continents away and accepting that I have reached the immovable conclusion of my time here. So, for my final editor’s note, I present to you one last playlist.

As my final semester at Duke begins, I find myself turning to music as a means by which to reflect on the past three and a half years. My life has always had a soundtrack, as songs seem to explain what my own words, whether spoken or written, never can. As such, the need to process the end of my time at Duke may very well be the cause of my tremendous over-creation and over-sharing of Spotify playlists over the past months.

For an entire year, I slept beneath a picture of Lou Reed kissing David Bowie, because who better to watch over me in my sleep than the image of these two beautiful artists engaged in an intimate moment.

I am frequently made fun of for spending at least half of my waking hours listening to HAIM and Fleetwood Mac, but I remain completely unapologetic. With this shameless "I'm the music editor, so there's that" attitude in mind, I’d like to share with you some of my favorite songs. Now, you too can live in the auditory bubble of joy that envelopes me whenever I put on my Beats. You're welcome.
