Choir culture is one of those things that no one really understands, even if you've been in it your entire life. Whether you joined because of your love of singing or you just needed a final credit to graduate, all choir kids can understand these things.

1. You only speak the language of solfege.

Some learn it as a little kid, some don't learn it until college. Either way, it's burned into your memory forever.

2. Sight reading is death.

No matter how hard you try or how good you think you are at it, it never fails to trip you up.

3. Choir trips always include a singalong.

Whether they're good or bad is up for debate.

4. You always seem to lose your voice or get sick around auditions.

I promise I don't suck, I just can't breathe out of my nose and I'll only sound like a dying cat right now and not any other time (hopefully).

5. There's nothing worse than formal concert attire or robes.

It's unflattering on everybody, and yet, we haven't come up with a good solution to this problem. Unless you're wearing a robe, then it's just a curtain.

6. The choir room is your new home.

Everyone seems to always be there, and yet no one gets sick of it.

7. Forgetting your pencil for rehearsal is the eighth deadly sin.

You might as well have not come, let's be real.

8. "Don't lock your knees!"

Unless you want to be that one person that passes out in the middle of a concert.

9. The moment after you nail a full run-through of a piece for the first time is the best feeling in the world.

There are very few things in this world that can really compare.

10. Holiday music is ruined forever.

Once you sing the alto line of Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You," there is no going back.

11. There is nothing funnier than hearing someone's voice crack in the middle of a song.

Whether intentional or unintentional, it's always a good time.
