A Week in My Life Portrayed As a Music Video
-
Monday
A low vibrating alarm signals the start of a day and a new song. A slow, lumbering intro plays as I wake up in my quiet suburban home and prepare myself for the day and week. Shower water pours, the fridge opens, and loved ones chat in hushed voices. Tempo and volume steadily rise with the morning sun. Low verse plays as I study alone, navigate my course readings, and reflect on the occurrences of the previous week.

Tuesday
Pre-chorus begins and anticipation climbs as I sit at my desk and prep myself for class. Virtual classes in session! Chorus plays, accompanied by familiar voices and euphonious percussion timed to the pressing of keys, the clicking of a mouse, and the flipping of pages.

Wednesday
I play a fast-paced video game with my brothers as a temporary respite from the week’s grueling activities. An upbeat, energetic verse plays, accompanied by laughter, flashing light, and likely dramatic explosions.

Thursday
Another virtual class! Chorus plays as I participate in the conversation and study for looming projects and exams. The many faces occupying my visual field harmonize with an all-encompassing chorus. Attention-stealing noise from the family TV necessitates a change in acoustic scenery, and the welcoming ambience of Middle Earth fills my ears as fantastic imagery engages my mind’s eye.

Friday
Bridge plays before assignment deadlines and as I am at my desk shrouded in darkness. Strong chorus plays as I finalize and turn in assignments. Sighs of concentration are heard, followed by relief. The final chorus dies down as I relax and surround myself with the sounds and sights of nature the following day.
