The Night I Almost Lost My Mind (and My Phone Battery)
Let me set the scene. It's Friday night, I'm finally done with grading papers (teacher life, am I right?), and I'm scrolling through Twitter, totally beat. Then BAM! A notification. A new Billie Eilish song. And it's a collab with Charli XCX?! I swear, my heart almost leaped out of my chest. I immediately clicked the link – the anticipation was killing me!

It felt innovative and fresh, a song that was both familiar and exciting. This was music history in the making. I was instantly hooked. I'm not even exaggerating. I texted all my friends immediately, and we had a virtual dance party, which quickly resulted in my phone dying.
