Quintessential Item: The Ipod

My Ipod is not only a birthday present from my parents, nor a material item bought just to "fit in" with the new technology craze, my Ipod is my escape from the world. My Ipod is the one thing that stays consistent in my life—boyfriends will come and go, new fashion trends will change from season to season but my Ipod is one thing I know I can turn to that will always be the same. It is the one object that is mine, and every song on it is an expression of a different side of my personality. One day I may constantly listen to a upbeat Hip-Hop song, and the next I may listen to a slow love ballad. My Ipod changes with me and my many moods. It is the one piece of technology that I can use to release my frustration towards someone without a scream being yelled, it can take me away from an argument with my sisters, it can express all the feelings I don’t have the courage to say for myself. My Ipod can do it all. Ever since the Ipod came out a few years ago, it has been an essential item in my purse. I cannot imagine my life without the soundtrack from my Ipod that accompanies it.
