From the day

Perspective: The Teenager · Sound

Flo Rida’s "Low" is blasting so loud through my cheap earbuds that I can barely hear the strike protesters shouting outside, but the bass is absolute fire. I’m huddled in the back of the bus, glued to my screen and praying that new Chrome browser loads faster so I can finally check if my Spotify invite came through. My best friend is bragging about how the new Android release is going to kill the iPhone, but honestly, that's just TMI for a Friday afternoon. I'm just trying to save up enough for that animatronic Wall-E toy while I hunt for any new games hitting the App Store.
