During my 5 days of recording my digital life, I realized how much time I truly spend playing Xbox and watching Netflix. I knew that I spent my fair share of time playing Xbox and watching Netflix, but I was not aware that I would spend almost 25 hours on the two total during a 5 day span. When it came down to the other areas of my life such as, texting, phone calls, Pandora, YouTube and social media I was not surprised to see that those numbers were fairly low. I spend a fair amount of time listening to music, but I try not to text or use social media more than I have to.

This is what my final numbers looked like for my Digital Diary.
"Piano Man" means to me that we should always own up to what we really are. In this case, the Piano Man plays a song to talk to everyone inside of the bar that no matter what is happening in your life that music can lift your spirits and bring you together with the people around you. The rest of the songs all come to me in a similar way, saying that if you are always yourself, then people will always accept you for who you are. If you act as yourself and treat people the way you would want to be treated then people will have only the option to accept you for who you are. They also speak to me that no matter how bad things can get or how bad they seem, as long as you keep pushing to make it through then you will come out on the other side a better person. The only song that sticks out from the others in My Playlist, I believe, is "She Thinks My Tractors Sexy," to me this song is really just about how it is a fun song to listen to, it is a very enjoyable, upbeat, and catchy song. Whenever I hear this song all it makes me want to do is sing along to it, even though I am an awful singer, and enjoy myself as much as I can. Looking over my songs I like to think that they all have a valuable meaning behind them, mostly saying that it is okay to be yourself and that nothing can hold you down, but yourself, therefor just don't let you hold yourself back.
