How Music Changed My Life

Music inspired me to do so many things..

I refuse to let my thoughts control me. I hate how I overthink to the point of tears, or how I avoid the main topic of why I'm overthinking. I choose to let music speak for me half the time because it can honestly fit 99% of the time to any situation I may be in.

Music tends to speak when words fail for me, something many can relate to-but only some let it be apart of themselves. It describes feelings as well as emotions, and how one can connect with another is amazing. All of this just due to various sounds, beats, and melodies which turn into something meaningful, each genre able to effect a person in numerous ways.

I feel when I sing, I express not only myself- but my emotions. It's a creative outlet, just like writing itself is too. You can put so much passion and drive into a single song or even a single lyric.

Then again, you cannot let these words and melodies define who you are. You are the only one who can let yourself succeed, whether the lyrics guide you or you decide to use your own voice.

I've always been the girl who's outgoing. Many people would say I'm a person who wants to make the most of everything along with help everyone. Music is a creative way for me to create conversation, friendships, and even just ease any mood.

Music has gotten me over breakups, helped inspire me to continue doing great things, helped motivate me, to relax, and well, to even become a better version of myself. I've built up more confidence, along with being able to express myself through singing and learning about different rhythms, beats, and melodies.

Whether I wake up with an upbeat and happy song, or end up dancing my way into getting ready, music has always been a great outlet and I wouldn't change it for the world.

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.

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.
