Without music I wouldn't be me.

5 Reasons Why I Love Music

Everyone can relate to music in one way or another. We all either have an instrument we like to play, a song we love to listen too, or an artist/band that is our go to whenever we need a break from reality. For someone like me, music goes beyond that. Here are a 5 reasons why I love music:

1. Without music I would not be alive, without it I would not exist.

Music is the center of my world, it is the one way I can escape and feel safe. If you know me on a personal level, you know that I always have a song playing in my head. I eat, sleep, breathe music, no matter what time of day it is. I wake up listening to music and I go to sleep listening to music. Without music, I would not be myself, I would not be who I am.

2. Music has saved my life so many times.

I've experienced a lot of things in my life. I've had to deal with a lot of bullshit, and I've always felt as though nothing understands me, as well as music does. During the hardest moments in my life, I've always felt as though I've been able to find a song that has helped me cope, that has helped me get through the pain and sadness.

3. Music has helped me find myself.

Before I started playing the violin in the 5th grade, I wasn't happy. By that time, I had experienced losing someone I loved, and being bullied at school. So when I joined the orchestra and started playing the violin, I became happy. I felt as though everything would be okay and that things would get better. Music helped me figure it who I was, before it I felt like something was missing, and that something was music.

4. Music has helped me express myself.

I'm not the type of person who is good at communicating their feelings to others. I have a really hard time telling people what it is that I feel, it's just something that I'm not good at. So whenever I need to tell someone something, I think of a song that can help me figure out what it is I'm trying to say. Music is my way to telling others what it is that I'm thinking or feeling.

5. Music is my way of escaping reality.

Whenever I need to get away from reality, from the bullshit that happens, I just put on my headphones and I get lost in the music. Whenever I'm stressed, sad, mad, or feel totally out of it, I just turn on some of my favorite tunes to help me get through it. Music helps me to clear my head and it gives me some time to think about what I'm going through. Some people like to work out, go for a walk, but for me, all I need are my headphones and some music and I'll be okay.

Music is a part of me, and if someone takes music away from me, you getting rid of me. Music has always been there, and it continues to be there for me. I honestly do not know what I would do without music.

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.

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.
