11 Thoughts Of A Music Therapy Major

I have been at college for about a month and a half now. I quickly learned, that my major is not easy and everyone gets stressed about the same things. Here are some things that are probably going through our minds

1. "If someone asks me what music therapy is one more time..."

Literally everyone asks us this question. We come home during the holidays and people ask how school is going. We tell them it’s fine and then tell them what we’re majoring in. The response: "OOOH, Music Therapy? What is that?" We hate answering the question, but our professors loves it.

2. "If I hear someone complain one more time about the 4 classes they're taking."

I'm taking 9. And that doesn't include my choir, private lessons, practice time or any other rehearsals that I have that week. So you can stop complaining about how your classes suck and you have no time, because you’re wrong.

3. “Sorry, I can’t, I have class.”

Free time consists of practicing and sleep is for the weak.

4. "What ARE we doing?"

Talking about cortana and blaming everything on her. Don't question us, you don’t understand.

5. “This is the hardest thing I have ever done.”

Almost every class we walk out of, we have no idea what just happened. Eventually we will figure it out.

6. “Maybe I can switch majors.”

We have probably all thought it, but at the end of every day we love what we do.

7. "Can I sign up for music therapy, because this major makes me need it."

8. "I just sang songs, danced, and played instruments in class. Literally the best class ever.”

9. “I will hate zero credit classes”

I haven’t even started my zero credit classes yet and I’m already dreading them, but I also know I’m going to love it’s going to help me.

10. “Maybe I can just skip practicing today”

We think we can skip practicing, but we all know we can’t. If we don’t practice, we don’t learn anything. So instead of sleeping or watching that netflix episode we force ourselves to go practice.

11. “Breathe, self. Breathe. Inhale, Exhale.”

In the end, everything is ok

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
