Songs Are Spells

They have that magical effect on you.

Music has influenced society in multiple different ways, multiple different aspects. For the most part, it is one of those things that carries over with from culture to culture, with each one having its own version of said music. That is the part that is interesting, and of course this today’s age- chances are there are at least one genre or type of music that people can connect to.

It's just one of those things that is similar to magic almost, a combination of words and sound promoting certain feelings to occur. One song, such as Cut The Cord by Shinedown, can promote feelings of rush, getting pumped. Whereas another, such as Never Too Late by Three Days Grace, promotes different emotions- feelings of sadness and self reflection.

Almost like spells.

One song can capture you, engulf you. Whereas others simply just help pass the time, with time becoming skewed and feeling it goes by faster. They can give you confidence to do that thing or talk to that person. They can make you tap into what you can do, doing that extra rep in the gym.

They can make you scream the lyrics but instead of screams of anger, they can be screams of joy. In concerts, with live music hitting your eardrums, those spells hit you directly. You can “let loose” and enjoy yourself for a change, instead of being worried about that one thing you have been thinking about.

They can be spells of escape, removing yourself from the reality you face. Will they make the problems go away? Sometimes they can or at the very least help you go through and overcome those problems.

Casting them can help you doing an action easier or getting through an action easier.

One’s person spell might not have the same effect on your friend that it has on you; and that's perfectly fine. They have there own music that calls out to them and assists them, in wherever they need them for. And if they do not, they simply have to look for the right spell.

Songs, in the final sense, are spells.

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.
