Today\u2019s installment of Arachnophonia<\/a> is by student assistant Jillian (class of 2027) and features Adele’s 2011 studio album 21<\/strong><\/a>. Thanks, Jillian!<\/em><\/p>\n

21<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I came across this album<\/a> while shelf reading and instantly was washed over by nostalgia. At the time this album<\/a> was released I was 10 years old, but my mom loved Adele\u2019s staples such as “Rumor Has It,”<\/a> and “Rolling in the Deep,”<\/a> so I heard these songs quite often. I remember listening to them on long car rides to my sister\u2019s ballet classes, never really understanding the lyrics, but I liked the beat. <\/p>\n

Adele’s 21<\/em><\/a> album was created while she was 21, therefore all of the events and feelings she went through during this time of her life are expressed in these songs. As I\u2019m turning 21 this year, I found it comforting to listen to the music again, because now I could actually understand what she was going through and relate. I think this goes to show you that while new music is exciting, it\u2019s always fun to revisit the music you listened to when you were young, especially when you\u2019re feeling down. <\/p>\n

As a college student, it\u2019s important to ground yourself once in a while. Revisiting your old music taste can bring back memories, comfort you, and remind you of who you used to be. With pressures of due dates, presentations, and exams, it\u2019s always good to reflect on how far you\u2019ve come. Music is a means of transporting you to that old self so you can appreciate where you are now. So, I suggest you go back and listen to that old playlist, album or song. Because who knows, after listening maybe you\u2019ll discover a new meaning to it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
