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!!)

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
