UCLA students share the song they would most like to hear at their commencement.

*Portia Jackson *
Second-year, psychology

“Probably Katy Perry’s “˜Firework’ because I heard it recently and it represented what I’m going through right now.”

*Anthony Bebich *
Fourth-year, economics
“”˜Welcome to The Future’ by Brad Paisley because it’s all about … the way the world has changed and developed. From the time he’s young and … it’s the same for us. I can relate to that.”

Linzy Bingcang
Fourth-year, psychology
“I would say “˜We Are Young’ by Fun. just because I feel like (since I’m) graduating, I feel old so I’m trying to remember my youth and remember the time period.”

Kelsey Mitchell
Fourth-year, anthropology

“It kind of needs to be upbeat because people are watching. I guess like an older song. I would say a Frank Sinatra song because it’s old time-y and everyone likes it and because it’s old time-ish, it has resonance, like a memory feel to it. I wouldn’t soil any song from this decade definitely.”

Kevin Trang
Fourth-year, psychological sciences
“It’s got to be Vitamin C’s “˜Graduation.’ It’s the classic song and every time I hear that song it just reminds me that I’m done and graduating.”

Geoff Schneider
Fourth-year, mathematics economics
“”˜Somebody That I Used to Know’ by Gotye because it reminds me of the good times I had this year during spring break.”
