post mcat and post acceptance celebration theme song: rip this joint by the rolling stones (warning: embarassing dancing and/or singing along may occur)

and ill be damned if eye of the tiger isnt just wedged into my mind for the rest of the day.

Another vote for Eminem's lose yourself. Listened to it before every big moment and came up big. That guy is a poetic genius.

Whenever I was dealing with Philadelphia schools, It was always the theme to Rocky.

Otherwise, it's always been Helter Skelter from the White Album.

I'm glad to see there was one other Lifehouse fan out there...I'd agree with "Simon" but I would have to go with one or two other songs on their first CD...One being "Breathing" (I'm finding my way back to sanity again, but I don't know what I'm gonna do when I get there...) or, my personal favorite "Somewhere in Between" (I can't keep losing sleep over this, no I can't, oh but I cannot stop pacing...give me a few hours, I'll have this all sorted out, if my mind would just stop racing...cause I'm waiting for tonight, and I'm waiting for tomorrow...I'm somewhere in between what is real and just a dream).

Durning the application process, when I was swimming in secondary essays... seriously I hadn't seen that many essys sense my English classes.

"Help"

I need somebody. Help!
Anyone. Help!
I need somebody. HEELLLP!

When I got rejections:

"Bother" by Corey Taylor

For the interview process... a song called "Happy"

Happy... sha la la.
I'm so happy... sha la la.

Pink Floyd
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 6-9)

Nobody knows where you are,
How near or how far
Shine on you crazy diamond
Pile on many more layers
And i'll be joining you there
Shine on you crazy diamond
And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph,
And sail on the steel breeze
Come on you boy child,
You winner and loser,
Come on you miner for truth and delusion,
And shine!

HAHAHAAH Have you actually ever listened to the lyrics of that song???

 

[tinkerbelle]

before an interview:

ain't nothing gonna break my stride
ain't nothing gonna hold me down
oh no
you gotta keep on moving

- by mathew wilder i think

after an interview or while i'm waiting to hear from all these schools that are ignoring me:

God sometimes you just don't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you?

- by tori amos

 

[Nebulizer]

AC/DC - Shoot to Thrill

My after interview rock out song

 

[Eiko]

HAHAHAAH Have you actually ever listened to the lyrics of that song???

Once, but i really wasn't paying attention. 😉 😛

billy joel - vienna

Slow down, you crazy child
you're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart, tell me
Why are you still so afraid?

Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
You've got so much to do and
Only so many hours in a day

But you know that when the truth is told..
That you can get what you want or you get old
You're gonna kick off before you even
Get halfway through
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

👍 Fair enough. Good luck with that.

whenever i really need to kick serious ass for one thing or another the track i am most likely to be listening to is....."the battle"- the theme from gladiator. (track 2 on the soundtrack).
pure asskicking at its finest. not so sure it is a good interview song, but would be great for MCATs, USMLEs, or other big tests.

Its so rising.

WTF??? Is this the new slang that the kids are saying on the streets?

By the way, I tried googling the mind-dump above and got nothing.

No, I'm not a kid on the streets, but thank you for the compliment.

Eh, my general theme song tends to be Rob Zombie - Dragula. It's not too morose by being slow, but it has an extremely heavy sense of thrash to it. 😀
