We May Have Failed Connections But Our Relationship With Music Will Never Change

Have you ever wondered why we love to listen to music? We often think about songs and lyrics when we have landed in a puddle of sorrows in order to provide us with emotional support. Music has a language of its own and it is highly universal because it unites a surplus of cultures and diverse voices together. Honestly, listening to music or even humming a few lines makes you want to relive every moment with panache. Even the moments which to you were the most embarrassing or troublesome seem to come alive when you start listening to a parody or hilarious piece of music.

Music has portrayed a pivotal role in my life throughout the years because it serves as the medium towards attaining fulfillment and positivity. Listening to music immediately increases the neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin which all function to make you feel good and physically active. The pathos that is usually found in the soul-stirring lyrics and melody of a song is something that is not found quite easily. You have to excavate through vast mines and fortunes to get your hands on this type of rare gem.

In fact, it is this "pathos" which could regurgitate your flow of emotions designed to make you feel way more spectacular. Music is the timeless chord which can turn your frown upside down and enable you to embrace life with open arms once again. Even if you feel, you have experienced your share of relentless catastrophes and heartbreaks in life, keep in mind that the sun will continue to rise again opening potential opportunities for self-empowerment and peace of mind.

Furthermore, the subtle intricate power of music has further transformed me into the person I'm today! If music did not exist in my life, I would not have been able to embrace life everyday with open arms and work passionately to make everyday count. Essentially, I have been able to cultivate an immense amount of mental strength using music as the shielding weapon to continue moving on in life despite experiencing many detours and roadblocks along my adventure.

Hence, there is actually a reason why we love to listen to music so much and why we tend to feel a lot better after listening to it. It is all a mind game which has also been proven scientifically to alleviate depression, dementia, and even physical pain. So next time when you are out driving or working out at the gym, make sure to turn on the radio, put your headphones on, and appreciate what music has given you.

Don't just take it for granted and treat it as a casual blessing. After all, your mental wellbeing and robust health depend on it to a huge extent!

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.

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.
