Hello, My name is Lizzie Dobbins and I am a Sophomore at Converse University! I am majoring in Elementary Education. I have always known that I wanted to be a teacher. I used to be so excited to come home after school and teach to my pretend students when I was younger. I made them fake name tags, printed out worksheets, and even graded them. I have always lived in Boiling Springs, South Carolina which is not too far from Converse. I live at home with my mom, dad, our two dogs, and two cats. We have two Daschunds and one is deaf. I trained her by using hand signals, which is pretty cool. I also have a boyfriend who I've been dating since I was a Sophomore in high school. We have a dog together and he is a spoiled rotten Boxador. I love to paint and draw flowers and landscapes in my free time. If im not playing with my sweet puppies!
1. An example of something I like right now:
American Shoes by Rainbow Kitten Surprise:
Rainbow Kitten Surprise is not an extremely popular band, but I really like them. I found this band nearly a year ago and it is one of my favorite bands. Their songs are so peaceful and enjoyable for me to listen to. This would definitely get me pumped up or in a better mood. I absolutely love to dance and sing along to their music!
2. An example of a song that is meaningful to me:
Float on by Modest Mouse:
This song reminds me that everything will be okay. This song helps ease my thoughts no matter if i'm anxious, stressed, or angry. It is also a very calming song that can also be used as a pick me up if I am upset. This song is a reminder that even om the toughest day everything will be better.
3. An example of a genre of music I just do not like:
Highway Boys by Zach Bryan
I just really cannot listen to Zach Bryan or Tyler Childers, I do not enjoy them at all. My boyfriend absolutely loves this type of music, but it drives me crazy when he turns a song that is by one of them. It is just slow and not really much going on for me. I like music that is fast paced. There is one song that I like by Tyler Childers and that's Lady May, and one song by Zach Bryan and that is Something in the Orange. Other than that I would rather just listen to something different, it's just not my cup of tea.
Hey Lizzie! My friend really likes Rainbow Kitten Surprise, and I want to try out some of there music. From listening to your recommendation, "American Shoes" I agree with your statement about how peaceful they are, almost soulful.
I find interesting the song you have chosen as meaningful because I get a good vibe from the tone of voice and the upbeat music. I think it fits very well with the description where you say: "This song reminds me that everything will be okay".
hey lizzie, i completely understand what you mean about The Zac Brown Band, my family often played "Texas Country" which had a lot of Tyler Childers. I think that a lot of their songs sound alike. Also training your dog using hand signals is by far my favorite fun fact anyone has told me.
