Country Music Is The Real Escape Artist

When you're depressed, you listen to the lyrics, when you're happy, you enjoy the music.

Everyone has a specific music genre they love. My music is country.

Why?

It has been a way to cope with my depression. Depression is when your brain is chemically unbalanced.

Country music has that sound that lets me hear it without being able to feel the vibration. Country music is one of those genres where you do not have to even use someone's last name because they're so famous, they only need one name.

I hope one day when I am a parent of a little girl or little boy, he or she will have the heart, like mine, to enjoy country music without being forced too. I want my child to know the true meaning of country music, whether it is today's music or past music.

Country music should be a genre where you can listen to it and not be judged for listening to it. Depression could take a toll on you, and, I mean, in my case, if I didn't listen to country, I wouldn't be able to make it through the day.

Country music is about love and caring for each other.

When you have depression, you know what the lyrics are trying to say. This is how you can escape from the world because you know how to understand the lyrics better and understand what the song is about.

When you're not depressed, you enjoy the music without being forced to know what the lyrics mean.

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.

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.
