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

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
