Thoughts Music Majors Have In The Shower

Yes, we do more than just sing.

Thoughts Music Majors Have In The Shower
Kaitlyn Aberson

Music majors spend the majority of their time in classrooms, practice rooms, and auditoriums. Any free time we get is usually dedicated to necessary things such as eating, napping, doing laundry, and showering. But even in these rare moments that we aren't doing musical things, we're inevitably thinking about musical things. So yes, while we're often found singing or playing, there are some thoughts all music majors have in that precious shower time.

1. I should be practicing right now.

Thanks, Yoda. But I'll probably fail anyway.

2. I gotta remember to look up what "free time" means in the dictionary.

3. So glad I only have to deal with six classes, four ensembles, three extracurriculars, and 572 recitals this semester!!

4. Can't wait to spend my entire evening doing that thing for that class that I'm getting zero credits for...

5. There better be free food at the recital tonight.

6. I should be practicing right now.

7. I wish I could replace all the Neapolitan chords in my life with Neapolitan ice cream. Much more productive.

Same, Michelle. Same

8. That's it. I'm dropping out of school and fulfilling my lifelong dream of forming a band called the Bach Street Boys.

9. Dang, I really need to make a Liszt of all my hilarious classical music puns.


I'll be Bach with more of those later.

10. Or maybe I should start that 200 chord Schubert analysis due tomorrow morning...


Mozart wrote the overture to Don Giovanni the night before it premiered so I'm golden, right??

11. I should be practicing right now.

12. I should also probably let my roommate know I'm still alive.

13. The acoustics in here are bomb.


14. If I get soap in my eye, do I have to go to ear training today?

15. If I cut myself shaving, do I have to go to ear training today?

16. Do I have to go to ear training today?

17. Are three semesters of music hell - I mean history - really necessary?


18. If I have to answer the question "what is music?" one more time...

19. Because do re mi fa so done with this semester

20. Crap, I think I forgot to sleep last night.

21. How can I box up some of this water so I can save it for when I'm living on the streets in five years?

22. Why isn't "How To Be Poor 101" a degree requirement?

23. Should I schedule today's existential crisis before or after my daily practice room cry?

That's it! I'm not going.

23. Oh good, here's comes the crippling self-doubt. Right on time.

24. Wow, I really should be practicing right now.

25. Why do oboes exist?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
