10 Things Choir Kids Know All Too Well

1. The struggle is real when it comes to sight-singing.

So much solfege. So much rhythm.

2. Nothing is better than finally nailing that really hard part of the song, and your director's smile is the most satisfying thing ever.

Nothing is better than not only knowing the choir's performance was incredible, but having your director tear up.

3. You are sung the most beautiful version of happy birthday ever.

Nothing is better than an angel-choir harmony on your birthday. It's pretty much the highlight of your day.

4. Prepare to have your songs stuck in your head for the whole day, or you know, the rest of your life.

Humming to yourself in the hallways and in class, it's inevitable. But honestly, you can't really help it, you love the songs so much. You aren't alone, we really all know the struggle.

5. The choir room is your favorite place in the entire school, maybe the entire world.

You wish you could live there permanently, because you almost already do. There are so many memories that that room holds, and you love walking there everyday for class.

6. Getting new sheet music and treating it like a baby, then a month later, the inside is just a tornado of scribbled notes.

When you first get new sheet music, it's so nice and neat that you are afraid to mess it up. All too soon, it's a mess with all the arrows and circles and underlines. But, you have a sense of pride when you knew all those marks were worth it, and the choir sounds incredible.

7. Concerts are the highlight of the school year.

You get so excited for concert night. It's time to show off what you all have been working so hard on, and your excitement leading up to concert night is something incomparable with anything else.

8. Not falling off the risers is your mission.

"I will not fall, I will not fall, I will not fall." Don't even think about adding 6-inch heels into that equation.

9. You are a part of something bigger than yourself.

Science proves that our heartbeats sync up when we all sing together. This is the beauty of music, that everyone in choir can come together and create something so wonderful.

10. You have gained a new family through choir, and you cherish every second of it, because you never want it to end.

Choir isn't just about singing songs, it's about art, it's about creating, it's about family and working together. All the late night rehearsals and bus rides has given you friendships that are unlike any other, and you are so thankful for them. Choir is truly something beautiful, and being a part of it is something you will carry with you for the rest of your life.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
