Simply Listening To Music Can Change Your Outlook On Everyday Life
Hunter Ruediger

There are so many types of music out there being produced every day. Chances are, there is going to be a type of music that one will like and will want to listen to. There are also a lot of different places to listen to music and some are free while some cost money. The music industry is one of the largest in the US, and it is constantly growing with the audience.

Music can produce a special effect on simple things like everyday life. Music has the ability to turn a simple walk into a walk where you just look around and see the world with a different view. It can change the way you see things with a simple of choice of what music you turn on. In one class I took, we watched a video where it showed the vision of someone on a walk and it was just that person walking with no music. The professor asked us to guess the mood of the walker and no one knew. Then the professor played the same video except for this time it had happy music playing and the video was evident by the music playing and it made the walk seem more enjoyable.

This is the power of music in something as simple as a walk. It can change the mood of a lot of things, like how it changed the walk feel. Another example is when you're working out and you go without music playing and you just seem to not be able to lift as much or run as long as you can with music playing. It is a great motivating tool and helps you push through the struggle you may or may not get sometimes. With running it almost makes you forget about how long you've been running for.

Music has a magical effect on everyday life. Even if that may seem like a small thing to do there can be big, positive effects from that little action. Like starting your day with some happy music while walking to class sets you up to have a much better, enjoyable day than if you were walking to class listening to some sad music. Music can have that big of an effect on your day.

Music is an amazing thing this world has to offer and can be utilized in many more ways that haven't even been thought of currently. There is always some kind of music that you can find that will help you get through the day and feel better than if you hadn't listened to any music.

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.
