23 Thoughts From The Couch In Angelle Hall
Kristen Neville

We all have that one spot that we gravitate towards on campus, no matter what time of day. Whether it be your favorite coffee shop or the third floor of the library, all of your friends know that if you go missing, they would probably find you there. For us music majors, Angelle Hall is where most of our time is spent. More specifically, the couch. This couch is at least 30 years old, and has a pattern that could rival with your grandmother's favorite cross-stitching patterns. The fabric must have been white at one point, but now it's yellow, wrinkled and faded from the many musician's butts that have sat upon it over the years. Sure, it's pretty worn out, but I'll be the first to argue that it's the most comfortable piece of furniture on the entire campus.

As much as we complain about how old and gross it is, we'd all be disappointed if someone were to replace it. That couch has probably heard the best and the worst moments of our lives, and I’m sure it has some interesting thoughts about us too…

  1. "Why are you in here before your 8 AM? It’s too early for practice, friend.” or if we sleep in and don't get to a practice room before our 8 AM's:
  2. “Why are you in here after midnight? It’s too late for practice, friend.”
  3. “Seriously, it’s 3 in the morning. You are insane. Go to sleep.”
  4. “I meant in your bed. In your room. Not on me.”
  5. “Is that his toothbrush? Is he staying here overnight?!”
  6. “Maybe if you practiced as much as you complain about practicing, you’d see some progress.”
  7. “There’s like 6 too many people on top of me right now and I’m not okay with it.”
  8. “It’s 5 in the morning and you are all STILL HERE. Do you ever sleep?”
  9. “I don’t know what language that chick is singing in, but it sounds like she’s chocking.”
  10. “Awww, Claire De Lune. I’ve heard that piece 162 times since I got here!”
  11. “These two really need to just get together already instead of sitting on me and flirting every day.”
  12. “Must be a weekend, no one’s here.”
  13. “Must be a Thursday, everyone’s practicing for Master Classes tomorrow.”
  14. “I wonder if other couches see this many stressed out students all the time.”
  15. “Probably not.”
  16. “His scales sound like crap.”
  17. “Wait, they’re together now? I started that entire relationship!”
  18. “His scales don’t sound like crap anymore! You go, tuba player!”
  19. “That’s cute, these kids are all playing their music for each other. Yay for friendship!”
  20. “Do you wait until the last minute to do all of your homework?”
  21. “Oh, that’s right. You practice too much to do all of your other homework.”
  22. “If I hear one more piano dexterity drill, I will purposefully break myself to get out of here."
  23. “Just kidding. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else."

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.
