Musicians To Up Your Study Music Game
Megoirs

Have you ever wondered what background music you should listen to while you study? Well, if you are into soothing music like I am, I have a few recommendations for you.

Yiruma

I am a huge fan of Yiruma’s piano works. I can always count of his music pieces to put me in a good, relaxed mood. Often, I am still moved by his music even though I have continually visited the same albums for the past seven years.

Recommended Track: River Flows in You, Maybe.

Helen Jane Long

Long’s piano pieces make perfect rainy day playlists in addition to being background music for studying. I love how her music pieces tell stories. They always help calm me down when I feel stressed about overwhelming school work.

Recommended Track: Goodnight, Wishes.



Enya

If you have not heard how heavenly Enya’s voice is, you’re in for a beautiful treat. Her voice makes me feel comfortable and safe in my own surroundings.

Recommended Track: One By One, Long Long Journey

Joe Hisaishi

You will definitely be familiar with Hisaishi’s works if you have seen any Studio Ghibli movies. His pieces are both lively and calming. I enjoy watching YouTube videos of him conducting during his orchestra concert as well as listening to long playlists that are compiled with the best pieces from his collection.

Recommended Track: Summer, The Rain.

George Winston

My best summer memories are can be recalled by Winston’s music pieces because my family owns his Summer album and have always played it throughout summertime. I also love the album Forest by him.

Recommended Track: Lullaby, Colors/Dance

Tanya and Dorise

If you have not heard of this violin and guitar duo, don’t be taken aback. They are street musicians who perform on the streets of New Orleans, LA. My family and I discovered them when we turned at the corner of the streets on New Year’s Eve, and their performance caught our eyes.

Recommended Track: Hallelujah, Ashokan Farewell

Happy studying!

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!

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.
