description:

Although school hasn't actually begun for me yet, with each day that passes, I can feel it getting closer and closer. Every year, as summer ends, I get that Sunday feeling. It's like my last bit of freedom before coming back from a really long weekend. In this case, a 3 month long weekend. This particular mix has given me a chance to reflect on the past 17 years of my life, and while not every song is about school, they all, in some way or another, remind me of the time I've spent there.

	Track 3 from Restraining Bolt Length: 00:03:39 Year: 1997
	Track Description: Though I've never even come close to failing out of school all together, I've been in a class where I struggled so hard that I reached a point where I was ready to just walk out. I spent the whole term completely lost, and had absolutely no idea what I was doing there. I too had to decide which would be worse: Failing or Leaving. I had missed the deadline for dropping, and while i did my final project, I would stop every 3 minutes and say to myself, "why are you doing this? you're going to fail anyway. Just skip the final and save yourself the hassle." Needless to say, after 3 hours of arguing with my conscience, I managed to convince myself that I'm not a quitter, pulled my shit together, and magically pulled off a C. SHOW LESS

	Track 6 from Greatest Hits Length: 00:02:54 Year: 0000
	Track Description: As I was going into third grade, I switched to a new school. It was kind of awkward because I had such awesome friends at my old school, and now I didn't know anybody. I hung out with a new group of friends every year, and didn't finally have a solid group of friends until I was in 8th grade. One girl in particular became my best friend, and when both of us grew out of the group 4 years later, we stayed together, and as a result, our friendship has stayed strong for almost 9 years. SHOW LESS
4	T. Rex : I Love To Boogie
	When my best friend and I left our group in high school, both of us became club officers in the Drama and Thes [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 5 from Dandy In The Underworld Length: 00:02:15 Year: 0000
	Track Description: When my best friend and I left our group in high school, both of us became club officers in the Drama and Thespian clubs. The drama department was given a chance to host a school dance after a football game, and somehow, the burden of organzing it landed on us. Rather than using the same old songs that were played at every dance, we decided to make our own dance mix and play a bunch of songs from the 70s and 80s. We picked a bunch of songs that we knew everyone would know, and then, because both of us are big T. Rex fans, we threw this one in for our own selfish reasons. We were singing along and having a great time, while everyone else was like, "wtf?" SHOW LESS
5	Louis XIV : Hey Teacher
	While I've never actually had a crush on a teacher, I have had a teacher who had a crush on me. He would alway [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 8 from The Best Little Secrets are Kept Length: 00:03:42 Year: 2005
	Track Description: While I've never actually had a crush on a teacher, I have had a teacher who had a crush on me. He would always go out of his way to make eye contact with me or lean over me during class, and during midterms, when it came time for the mandatory student teacher conference, I sat down in his office and he had buttoned his shirt down a little farther than normal purposely so that every time he leaned forward, he could show off his chest hair. It was like a big, scary, chest hair octopus, and I was afraid if I got too close, it would attack me. I worked my butt off in the class, and I totally deserved my A, but at the same time, I'm pretty sure if I had slacked off, I still could have gotten the highest grade in the class. SHOW LESS

	Track 15 from Divorce at High Noon Length: 00:10:15 Year: 0000
	Track Description: This song reminds me so much of my school experiences. Quite possibly because I too enjoy pissing away educational opportunities and arguing with my friends in the not so effective tones of a retard. "Yes it has!" "No it hasn't!" SHOW LESS
7	The Ramones : Sheena Is A Punk Rocker
	Whatever. I went to school with Sheena. She was not a punk rocker. She was an idiot. SHOW MORE
	Track 10 from Loud, Fast Ramones Length: 00:02:48 Year: 2002

	Track 2 from Futures Length: 00:03:26 Year: 2004
	Track Description: For a while during college, I was absolutely in love with Jimmy Eat World. So much, in fact, that I skipped the same class twice in one month to see them in concert. The first time I just missed a lecture, but the second time, I walked out during finals. Hmmm, you can see where my priorities lie. I picked this song because, at the time, it was my favorite Jimmy Eat World song. SHOW LESS
11	Guster : Homecoming King
	My school didn't actually have a homecoming king. It was all about the queen. Is that weird? SHOW MORE

That T. Rex song rules. When my band was on tour over the summer, it was boogie woogie-themed and one day we were driving around Portland looking for a cheque-cashing place for our roadie and he knew of like five in the area so I kept repeating the song while we looked for one that suited him. I told them that if anyone had a problem listening to "I love to 'Booh-gie'" they could blame Matt. Check.
