- Alive by Melissa O'neil - This is the theme song for me and one of my best friends. This song is one of the rare songs that my friend actually knows the lyrics to and agrees to sing occasionally so it's pretty special.
- Change by Taylor Swift - "It's a sad picture, the final blow hits you. Somebody else gets what you wanted it can't end." These lyrics remind me of the time I wanted something really bad but in the end someone else came out on top. Listening to this song just makes me want to work harder for whatever it is I want and to never give up on believing.
- Crushed by Rosette - This song reminds me of my friend who moved schools. Everytime I hear this song now I think of all the stupid things we used to do.
- O Canada by various artists - This song reminds me of when I officially became a Canadian Citizen. It wasn't a very big deal to me at the time because I didn't understand, but now I do. It also reminds me of when I first came to Canada and they played the anthem in the morning at school and I was wondering why everyone was standing up.
- Pretend (Reprise) by Lights - "Wish I were a little girl without the weight of the world." I love this song because I can relate to the lyrics so well. I'm the kind of person who's constantly having flashbacks and being overwhelmed by the present and the lyrics in this song bring back so many memories but also at the same time help me move on so I can live in the moment.
- Low by Flo-Rida - Over year ago, me and four of my friends formed a dance group for the school talent show and discovered we actually had something going. Also, even though I had danced my whole life beforehand, this event helped me realize just how much I enjoy dance and this was the song that started it all.
- Tongue Tied by Faber Drive - This is the song me and my friends burst out singing randomly on the street. This is also probably the only song all of us really know so that makes it all the more special which is why I sometimes like to use it as an icebreaker. As soon as I sense some kind of tension, I start humming the tune and eventually we all burst into song. It's a pretty intense process to watch.
- Day After Tomorrow by Jason Zhang - This song is sung by one of my favorite Chinese artists. The song is so soothing that it's become my lullaby. Whenever counting sheep doesn't work out, all I have to do is play this song.
- You had a Bad Day by Daniel Powter - "Because you had a bad day, you're taking one down, you sing a sad song just to turn it around." I listen to this song when I have a bad day. It reminds me that I'm not the only one having a bad day and that there are probably people out there who have it worse and I just need to suck it up and get over it
- Keep Holding On by Avril Lavigne - This song has the most sentimental value to me because it was our Grade 6 graduation song. All of my experiences in elementary school, all my elementary schools are represented by this song.
