Music is a universal love. Many people may disagree, but we all know that even a little Justin Bieber can make your shoe tap to the beat. Hearing a good rhythm and catchy lyrics, you can't stop yourself from singing along. Teens all over the world have found a way to relate to the lyrics and emotions behind the music. Usually, a teenager's taste in music can provide a glimpse into their state of mind. Music could be explained as what feelings sound like. If you need to get away and things get tough, headphones can be a portal into a new world.

Research has proven that music can affect your mood. If you’re going through a rough patch, having a tough day or just need to catch your breath and relax, music can ease the stress. Music can be your escape.

Each music note or music type can affect a different part of the brain and improve skills needed on an everyday basis. One piece of research studied showed that after hearing a small part of a song, the participants were able to interpret a neutral expression of either happiness or sadness and matched it with the music they were listening to. Music can also affect the emotions of a person in two ways; perceived or actual emotions. Whether we feel the emotion behind the words or the way we feel when we listen to the music, this affects us.

Music training is very effective in improving motor and reasoning skills. It is generally assumed that learning an instrument is beneficial, however a recent study has proved it to be more useful than expected. This study showed that children who had three or more years in training of a musical instrument tended to perform better in auditory abilities and fine motor skills than those children without any musical training at all.

No matter the music you listen to, Macklemore, Panic At The Disco!, or even Bach, music has a way of affecting not only your mood, but also your brain function. Here are just a few ways music can affect your life in a positive way; music can be an immune booster, enhance exercise, improve memory recall, act as an anti-anxiety, anti-fatigue, improve your mood, and can also be used as a universal language. Working as an immunity booster, an anti-fatigue, and a way to improve your mood, music causes the brain to go into an alpha state where it releases endorphins and healing hormones. It’s science! Studies have proven that improved memory recall is a result of listening to music. So, next time someone tells you that you should turn off the music and do your home work, share with them the ways music is helping your brain development and actually improving memory. You’re welcome.

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.
