My Hope For My Music
Start writing a post

I am striving and working towards something I am openly a chicken about. In my little ways, I want to get my music out there. I cannot just easily get up in front of people, and am never truly sure if my music is considerably something people would listen to. When I think like that, I forget that my opinion is the one that matters, and that I should write for myself. I should I always write for myself. Just like writing a book or anything else creatively, you should regard the fact that there will be an audience, but at the end of the day, what matters is how you feel about your work.

You should feel something towards it. Whether you hate it and want to fix it, love it and want to share it, or feel sad because it sparked some emotions. What matters, is that it encompasses you and who you are. It represents how you feel and what story you want to portray. Your hope in writing is that it somehow touches somebody else, the way that it touched you.

With writing music, you can tell a real story or a fake story, but it has to mean something to you! All artists aspire to have something relatable, but the end goal is for yourself (not to please others)

My small steps include creating an Instagram, slowly build up a YouTube (with hopefully not so embarrassing videos), and practicing in front of my family and friends (whose opinions conquer all).

I want to get my music recorded (but nerves hold me back). Right now I rely on myself, but hopefully one day, sooner than never, I will get it out there and make somebody have a connection with my writing through my lyrics and the meaning behind them.

Quick thank you to everyone who supports me and listens to music! XOXO

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.
