Music Is The Best Medicine

Sometimes a trip to the doctor just won't do it.

Music is the best medicine. When it comes to life, there are certain things that real medicine just can’t heal, and instead, we turn to music. An unproductive day, a bad mood, a gloomy day, a broken heart, the loss of a loved one, music can help to fix them all.

An unproductive day: We’ve all been there. One of those days where you just can’t focus. No matter how hard you try you eventually find yourself back on Instagram or laying in bed watching a movie. It’s inevitable, but music has the power to get you amped up and ready to roll.

A bad mood: How many times have you wanted to sit there and scream? Or smack the next person that looks at you crooked? We all know those days. Those days where you just want to close yourself off and ignore everyone. Well, what better way to close yourself off than with a pair of headphones? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in a bad mood and I turned to my music for help. And help it does. After a while I find myself struggling to remember what was bothering me, and I’m able to push on with my day.

A gloomy day: It’s one of those cloudy days where you just feel bogged down. You can’t quite figure out what’s weighing you down, but you can feel this weight on your shoulders. We’ve all had those days. Maybe it’s an unlucky day, things don’t really seem to be going your way. Don’t forget about your music. Put something on, anything, and escape from whatever is bugging you.

A broken heart: We’ve all been here too. A broken heart doesn't just come from the ending of a relationship. It can come from anything, a friend moving away, the loss of a pet, the loss of something that was sentimental to you. You’re in your feels, and it’s okay. Stay in your feels, grab your headphones and zone out. Lay there and think, do whatever you have to do, but just like music help your unproductive day, or your bad mood, it will help you here too.

The loss of a loved one: This could be by far one of the hardest things to deal with. Grieving comes in waves, sometimes you're able to pick yourself back up quickly, and sometimes you're not. No matter what there is always a song that can help. Ask anybody about a song that helped them through grief, and I guarantee you you’ll get an answer. People find songs that speak to them. And there’s no better time to search for assistance and guidance than when you lose someone.

These are only a few things music can help us with. There are so many problems that you can get through with music. Music has unspeakable powers. It can help us pick ourselves back up and move forward, it can put us in a good mood and make us feel happy, it can bring us closer together, and it can bring us new friends. No matter what, you should never forget the power behind music.

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.

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.
