Billie Eilish Fan Scholarship

My favorite Billie Eilish song is Happier Than Ever. It's helped me get over some tough breakups. It's also helped me cope with my experience getting sexually assaulted and raped. Another thing it's helped me cope with recently cutting majority of my contact with my abusive dad. He recently went to jail for hitting me in front of the dorm building camera where 50+ people could see it, got in trouble for domestic violence for the first time after 21 years of abuse. I'm happier than ever away from him and my other abusers. My second favorite Billie Eilish song is bellyache. Despite being not that old of a song it gives me feelings of nostalgia with what the lyrics say. It also is relatable as someone with bipolar disorder, you feel like sometimes you're losing your mind but that's okay. Music like this song is a healthy way to cope with symptoms of mania or depression. Though there's a lot of close competitors for third favorite song and a lot of the songs closely compete to being higher on this list, I think for third favorite, I pick xanny. It's really catchy, however I lost my aunt due to her addictions, when she overdosed. This song reminds me of her a lot and the stories I hear of her despite losing her before I was able to form any memories of her for myself. I think there are many honorable mentions such as bury a friend, wish you were gay, ocean eyes and more. I could go into specific detail on how each of her songs has helped me cope with the tragedies of life and heartbreak, but I don't need to for this application. Billie Eilish is a huge inspiration for all artists, despite being involved in physical media and digital media rather than music, I've still made pieces inspired by her work. I'm a huge fan and she's a super relatable artist. Billie Eilish has helped me through many rough times over and over for years and I thank her a lot.
