Hi, my name is Olivia Giarrizzi. I am from Fort Mill, South Carolina, but I was born in Pennsylvania. I play soccer here at Converse and planning on majoring in biology with a minor in Spanish. I have three sisters, Izzy (20), Sophia (17), and Gabby (14). We have a dog named Luna and a cat named Goose. Some things about me are that I love to shop, spend time with my friends and family, and I enjoy traveling, especially if it's somewhere warm.
If we're being honest, I love all kinds of music and am open to almost anything, but my go-to piece would have to be anything by Midland. My favorite song by them right now is "And Then Some." I enjoy listening to this song because it makes me calm and relaxed. I love playing this song while driving by myself or with friends, cleaning my room, or just chilling. Another reason I enjoy this artist is that they have pieces for any mood I may be in, whether happy or sad. I like this song's "vibe" and the lyrics. My favorite line in this song is when he says, "and my heart starts to think that I don't miss you, but I still miss you, and then some." I chose this song because I like it, and someone else may enjoy it as much as I do.
I've had many songs that mean a lot to me and have memories attached which get brung back when those specific songs are played, but one piece in particular hits home the most. My family and I love listening to Rock or Heavy Metal when traveling or riding in the car. This song is called "Enter Sandman" by Metallica. Yes, this is random, and some may find it weird, but it reminds me of my strong relationship with my family. They have always been there for me and pushed me to be the best version of myself, so I hold them close to my heart. When I miss my family, I put this song on, and it makes me happy because it reminds me of all the time I spent with them now that I'm away from home. If anyone chooses to listen to this song, listen with an open mind. I know it's kind of weird, but I chose this song because of its solid memories and connection to my family. Enter Sandman
I've said that I enjoy all types of music, but there is one genre I can't connect with, so I don't really listen to it. This genre is rap, which is surprising because it's very popular in today's world. I know people listen to rap songs while working out, before a game, getting pumped up, or jamming with friends. But honestly, I don't connect with any of the artists or songs produced by rappers. This doesn't mean I will make someone turn it off if they start to play it, but rap would not be my first choice in music type. The fast-paced talking/ singing in rap songs sometimes makes it hard for me to hear or understand what they're saying. Rap God
