Student 2: Celeste Goldes

Interviewer: If you had to choose a song to best describe you, what song would you choose and why?

Student 2: I would choose “Sofia” by Clairo because it really hits my heart strings, and I’m a hopeless romantic. Even though I don’t act like one, I really am one deep down.

Student 4: Yeah, Bella Shoden

Interviewer: If you had to choose a song to best describe you, which song would it be and why?

Student 5: Isabella Snow

Interviewer: If you had to choose a song to best describe you, what song would you choose and why?

Interviewer: Can I get your name?

Student 6: My name is Paris Talavera

Interviewer: If you had to choose a song to best describe you, what song would you choose and why?

Student 6: I would pick “Fight the Feeling” by Mac Miller because I love the energy it radiates.

*Music playing*

Interviewer: Can you say your name?

Student 7: I’m Emma Tabor

Interviewer: Okay, so if you had to choose a song that you say best describes you, what song would you choose?

Student 7: I would say “Drivers License” by Olivia Rodrigo because, you know I got my drivers license in like June, and right around the same time I got my heart absolutely ripped open into two, and it was just the timing of everything -- it all happened so fast. Yeah, it was honestly just a sign from the universe just to keep on pushing, so thank you Olivia.

*Music playing*

Student 8: My name is Amber Gilman and a song that describes me is “Kyoto” by Phoebe Bridgers because it’s fun and upbeat and chill, and I think that describes me.

*Music playing*

Student 9: I chose, “So I know You Care” by Toulouse … maybe? (Talon on the Street checked and it is in fact by Toulouse). I’m Nirvana Brady and I think I really resonated with the song because I feel like in the past few years I am really trying to surround my life with people that actually care and really try to find people that bring value into my life. So yeah! That’s why I resonate with the song.

*Music playing*

Student 10: My name is Krishanu Nigam and I’m a junior. The song that I think describes me is “Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy) (Remastered 2010)” by John Lennon. The reason being is because I am a beautiful boy.
