11 Things that Happened To You In An A Cappella Group

I sometimes wish Barden University was real!

11 Things that Happened To You In An A Cappella Group

Here's a little article for anyone who has ever been in an a cappella group! We know that "Pitch Perfect" is a scam and we know that we have what it takes to be on "The Sing-Off!" If you were in an a cappella group, you know these 11 things all too well!

1. You have a love/hate relationship with "Pitch Perfect."

Yes, it's like the greatest thing that has happened to a cappella since Pentatonix, but it's also ridiculously unrealistic!

2. If you’re a middle part, you live for singing that one note in the weird jazzy chord.

There is nothing more satisfying than nailing that chord.

3. You try really hard to dance even though you know you suck at it.

You wish that you could do all the cool flips, but you actually just look like you tripped over your own feet.

4. You’ve been accidentally spit on by your vocal percussionist.

And it felt just like this, but you smiled anyway because it was during a performance.

5. You’re pretentious enough to call your beat box a “vocal percussionist.”

Those people deserve respect...and a really snobbish title!

6. You secretly wish that you and your group could just make up perfect arrangements of songs on the spot.

How did they do that in "Pitch Perfect?!" (Hint: they didn't.)

7. Your group went (or tried to go) to a Pentatonix concert.

And it was beautiful. And you may or may not have cried.

8. Your favorite gigs were the ones that gave you free food.

Thank god for crappy pizza and individually wrapped cookies that you can smuggle into your bag!

9. You walk around campus humming your harmony to pop songs.

Even if it's not the melody, this song is so dang catchy!

10. You still listen to college a cappella groups (and you still maintain that yours is the best!).

Sure you cried when you first heard this rendition of "Chandelier" but, yeah, your group is totally better!

11. You couldn’t imagine singing with anyone else!


I don't know what I'd do with three extra hours in the week! I'd miss these goons to much! (And now for a shameless plug of the group I'm in! Check us out!!)

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time. I'm not complaining, because I'd rather have a whole week off than three days, but there is a lot of down time. Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
