10 Signs You Grew Up As A Choir Kid, No Matter If You Were An Alto Or Soprano

Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Don't pick something from "Glee"...please.

1. You know what a cummerbund is.

There's a good chance you have a stash of them hidden in the back of your closet.

2. Deep breaths never include shoulders, obviously.

Every *true* choir kid knows the importance of diaphragmatic breathing.

3. You catch yourself humming scales everywhere.

In line at the supermarket? Check. During commercial breaks? Check. On the toilet? It's highly possible.

4. 1, 1 2 1, 1 2 3 2 1 haunts your dreams.

Same goes for "red leather yellow leather" and "mommy made me mash my m+m's."

5. That one soprano...

You all know her. Maybe you were her. Either way, you could pick that voice out of a lineup.

6. Solo and Ensemble day was the best.

Missing school, dressing up, listening to a bunch of music, it was the best! Let's just hope you don't get a slightly off the walls judge who had a little too much coffee on lunch break.

7. Breaking out into Italian operettas is a frequent occurrence.

Particularly from the "24 Italian Songs and Arias" book. You know the one.

8. Riser formations have a special place in your heart.

So do getting on and off the risers quietly.

9. You know bathroom acoustics are the best.

But elevators are a close second.

10. Nailing a crazy piece never gets old.

There's no feeling quite comparable to finally getting all the way through a 23 page a cappella piece made up entirely of sounds that are not words in any language.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
