Music has always been important to me since I was very young. It provided me with so many different things: experiences, feelings, escapes, etc. It has been a huge factor in my life when getting through some of the worst times of my life, while also accompanying some of the best. If you feel the exact same way, you completely understand what I'm saying. Here are eight specific things music provides for those of us who connect to it in an indescribable way.

1. Destress/Calm nerves

The right kind of music can relieve the tension that my heart and body are feeling at any given moment. It can put me to sleep in seconds, it can reduce my anxiety, and it can put me back on track once I feel myself becoming super overwhelmed. If it weren't for music, I'd probably still be a disaster.

2. Anger

Whenever I'm angry, I can listen to a good song so I can release that feeling before saying or doing something I don't mean. It can always calm me down and take me back to the ground. It surely has helped me blow off some steam so I could return to a situation calmly. Without it, I probably would have "hulked" out way too many times.

3. Sadness

We all have that one song that you listen to in order to cry or sadly look out the window as if you're in a music video. No matter what the song is, you always feel better once you've let it all out.

4. Puts your feelings into words

Ever feel so confused that you just can't describe what you're feeling, then you find a song that describes it effortlessly? That's the best feeling. And, it'll definitely become your anthem for the next week.

5. Focus

I don't know about you, but a good playlist can keep me in focus mode for a few hours. You can look up at the clock five hours later and be shocked at how much work you got done in that amount of time! Music helps it fly right by.

6. Hype

You know what playlist you play when you're about to go out. You and all your friends jam out hard and perfectly recite all the lyrics. It's the best way to prepare for a fun night ahead.

7. Fun

Whether you're dancing alone in your underwear or are at a huge party, music enhances every experience and allows you to let go and have fun.

8. Escape

No matter what you're feeling or where you are, music can take you to a different place at any time. It'll be by your side through it all...and boy do you know that!


We all listen to different genres, but what we all have in common is what music gives to us. Keep on listening, no matter what.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
