Music In Our Daily Lives

What would your life look like without music?

Music In Our Daily Lives
WeHeartIt

Music is so deeply immersed into our culture. It's in society, and in how we perceive so many things. Music is everywhere. We see it and use it for practically everything. I wonder, however, what would the world be like without it. If there was NO music, what kind of world would this be? Of course, we haven’t always had it so it must be possible to live without it. I think...

I have many questions about music and what it does or doesn't affect, but what I do know is that when I listen to music I can feel anywhere from a lot of joy to a deep sadness. The diversity of how music can be used to influence our behavior, inspire, encourage, anger, sadden, scare, and encourage is amazing. Music can help us remember good and bad things. Music can speak in a way of communication that can be heard in the tone and the movement of the musicians playing. We can see, feel, listen, touch, breath music. Some can even see colors while listening to music! Maybe this is why we are so easily and continuously drawn to it. I think we take music for granted though. I mean honestly, when was the last time you went completely without music? Do you remember?

It’s so incredibly diverse, because there is music for everyone. I have yet to meet someone who has said that they hate all music. To list a few there are: Rock, Jazz, Enka, Classical, Lullabies, Latin, Pop, Rap, Inspirational, Indie, Holiday, Opera, and of course Karaoke! SO many types!! But hey, let’s not get carried away. There are so many ways that music is implemented into our culture as humans. It completely surrounds us. In everything we do, when we work and study, relax and even sleep, we surround ourselves with music and don’t even realize it.

Society takes music for granted. We take music for granted. I would challenge anyone who reads this to try and avoid music completely for 24 hours and see how you feel. I did this and without realizing it, I felt different. However, this difference I felt coming the next day, when I heard the music again it was slightly new to me. It was appreciated in a way that it hadn't been. So I would say, appreciate the music you listen to. Think about what that music makes you think about and how it makes you feel. Let's take the time to appreciate one of life's greatest blessings just a little bit more. Music isn't limited to listening, it can be felt and seen and heard.

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.

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.
