The Impact Music Has On My Life

Me, Myself, And Music

I can feel my heartbeat align with the rhythm, the beautiful melody kiss my ears, and my muscles have begun to relax. And whatever tension I felt around my neck or dull pain I felt in my head is now gone.

I don't think anyone will ever truly understand how much music means to me and the love I have for it. It means so much to me that sometimes fully expressing it into words can be tough but, if I had to explain it, it would sound a little something like this:

I like to think of music as a person. A person that has made their way into my life in the best way possible. That person is always there for me in my times of need, they're there for me when I'm in my happiest moments, and without them, I'd have a hard time getting through a lot. There were so many times where I could have cried but it was there to push me through that. All my life music has been that other half of me that I just can't live without.

Overtime I was on stage singing to a crowd, it was the most exhilarating and liberating feeling in the world, and it was as if nothing else mattered and I was free from reality. Here's the thing too, it's not about just singing to an audience or making sure that my song and my performance is the best one. None of that matters. For me, it was (and still is) about the emotion behind what I'm singing and making sure that there's a connection. If I'm going to sing a song I'm going to feel it. And you see, that's the best part about it. Singing for me is about telling a story even if it's not my own. I can take a step away from all reality even if it's just for a moment.

I first learned to hear music as more than how it sounds when I was about six or seven years old. I would hear songs that would have so much emotion behind the artist's voice and I would feel those emotions too. When I would listen to the radio and hear an them pour their emotions into a song, I sometimes wondered if it was easier that way - to sing it into a song instead of saying it.

Music has just always been something that runs in the family. My grandma has such an amazing voice and is so talented and my grandpa used to be a composer for other singers and wrote such beautiful music. It's musicality like theirs that truly inspires me.

Now, I may not be going to school for music, but one thing I know for sure is that I'll always have it with me. I don't ever want to think of what it would feel like if I never had the opportunity to sing again. In all honesty, it would feel like a huge chunk of me and who I am was missing, and there's nothing I wouldn't do to have more of it in my life. So call me a music-aholic, but it's the one thing I'll always be addicted to. I love music and that will never change.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
