Choir kids are truly one of a kind. If you have been one at any point in your life you know that there is so much that outsiders just don't understand no matter how hard they try. From the straight posture that you can't seem to undo, to the installed habit of constant humming, a choir kid can be spotted from a mile away. Even though your choir days are behind you, a piece of your heart will always live on the stage. Here are 6 things that all former choir kids know to be true.

1. Your non-music friends think you're practically Beyonce.

You could be the least talented person in the choir yet all of your non-music friends will see you as an icon. Your title as a choir kid gives people the automatic assumption that you must be talented. They don't need to know the truth.

2. You are naturally humming tunes at all times

This is a habit that has been installed into you for life. When you're in choir class, you're singing, and when you're not in choir class, you're pretending that you are.

3. You have learned songs in so many different languages but you don't even know what languages they were.

You are amazed by the fact that you can learn an entire song and not understand one word or even the message that you're singing about. It's even more shocking that in the end, you couldn't even answer the question of what language the song was in.

4. You have mediocre dance skills and impeccable synchronization.

Choir is basically like a sport. If one person is off, everyone else might as well be. There's nothing you dread more than when your teacher decides to get fancy and throw some dance moves in to spice up a piece.

5. You would do (almost) anything to stand in the spotlight one last time.

Now that your choir days are in the past, you would give up anything to take the stage one more time. Nothing compares to the feeling of wowing the audience with a piece that you've been working incredibly hard on.

In high school, going to choir class was always the highlight of your day- it was an escape from the stress of the world. Nothing compares to the friends you made, the moments on stage and the inside jokes you acquired all from being part of the choir community. These one-of-a-kind and unique experiences will stick with you for the rest of your life and you really have no say in that. A part of you will always long for the good old times of soaking in the carefree and enjoyable times in the music room.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
