Praying

Music is one of my favorite and, in my opinion, the most underrated form of prayer. I personally am a very traditional Catholic and it took me a while to open up to the idea of contemporary music in the church. However, once I began to listen I realized a different aspect I hadn't before. Music has plenty of great things, to begin with, but the beautiful thing is that it essentially does the job for you - it can invoke inspiration and feeling when you've hit that brick wall in your prayer life.

Or any aspect of your life!

Sometimes when I'm having a hard time concentrating or hearing God's voice, I'll use praise and worship music to enhance my prayer. It's also helpful in everyday activities as a way to remind me he's with me if I listen in the car or have it on as background music.

Aside from that, it can be helpful for when you're having a bad day or need a distraction because you don't have to think too much about it. For example, I'll listen more often if I'm having bad anxiety and it's comforting. There are plenty of options and playlists to choose from that fit you and what connects you to your faith the best. I compiled a few of my personal favorites that never fail to lift my mood when I'm having a rough time.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
