An optiMize Playlist
A summer with opti-bops
Our staff came together to create a playlist that reminds us of our amazing optiMize community. This ranges from music that is played at optiMize workshops to songs that just resonate with our organization. Read about why staff members added their picks to the playlist, and feel free to listen along!
Hall of Fame by The Script
“[Hall of Fame] is such an inspiring song that makes me want to travel the world and do cool things with my life and I think that fits the vibe of how optiMize wants their fellows to feel” — Shreya Sampath
Good Old Days by Macklemore ft. Kesha
“[Good Old Days] makes me think of the quote from The Office, ‘I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.’ I know the days with optiMize will be the ‘good old days’ that I reminisce on.” — Paige Horsburgh
Electric Feel by MGMT
“I heard it for the first time (shocker) at an aMplify night and ever since, I resonate this song with optiMize. It gives me the sense of home, good vibes and friends” — Nayseth Fernandez
Shine on Top by Surfaces
“I think that [Sufaces] in general reminds me of optiMize, the lyric in this song that says ‘keep me where the light is’ is something I really associate with opti because it is such a happy and hopeful place that brings me so much joy.” — Abbie Chaka
Amsterdam by Nothing but Thieves
“The phrase ‘bashing my head into this wall’ is something I hear in reference to continually trying at something that you're stuck on.” — Dexter Park, Cohort 11 Fellow .
This Must be the Place by Talking Heads
