Jewel

Bonjour! My name is Jewel and I am currently a sophomore at Cal State Fullerton as well as a new employee of the Titan Shops bookstore. I am 18 years old. I love practically everything French; if you tell me it’s French, I will love it. I enjoy reading, watching TV (mostly just Netflix), listening to music all the day long, and when I get bored of all that, I like to play piano (I took eight years of lessons, but I'm not very good). However, the one thing I can’t live without, not even for just a day, is singing. I only took ten months of lessons, but I have always preferred singing to piano. If someone told me I couldn't sing for one day, I would probably burst out singing at the top of my lungs sometime in the middle of the day, like there were no time left in the world. In fact, some days I wake up singing; I’m not joking. As for my type of music, as long as I can sing along and the music itself doesn't hurt my ears, I love it. So, no, I really don’t like rap, no offense, but I just can’t sing along. I do love anything from Michael Bublé and Sinatra to Katy Perry and Demi Lovato, and everything in between. I tend to listen to Jazz whenever I have work to do because it’s less distracting than everything else. When I want to just have fun, I listen to songs I can dance to, like One Direction (yes, I like their songs; no, I’m not a Directioner), Demi Lovato, Taylor Swift (her new album is the most “danceable” one), Katy Perry. In fact, I love listening to covers of the newest hit songs by YouTube artists like Sam Tsui, Kurt Schneider, Max Schneider (no, they are not brothers), Christina Grimmie, Boyce Avenue, Mike Tompkins, and many more.
