Language of Music

There are roughly 6,500 spoken languages in the world. For me, there is 6,501. Listen to the first 2 minutes of Grease's "You're The One That I Want" or we could even go as far as "Nobody", an iconic song heard around the nation sang by Keith Sweat and Athena Cage. Listening to these, there's no denying that music is a form of conversation.

For me there's so much more than just a song or a duet. Music is something that will say the words for you. It's in everybody's DNA. Whether you know it or not, it just comes to you when you least expect it. For some people, they're born with the love of music, but for others music comes to them when they need it most. For me, I was three years old singing at the top of my lungs annoying my family every chance I could with Barneys theme song "I Love You."

There has yet to be a culture discovered which lacks music. For expecting mothers, given that it's scientifically proven that babies can hear everything while in the womb, families will often play music for their child while in the womb as a way to communicate. There are some indian tribes still to this day that only communicate through music. Music is a part of our existence. It moves you in a way that objects can't. What could possibly be more beautiful than that?

I'm at the phase of life where I literally live and breathe music. I've interacted and performed almost every genre of music in the last 5 years. I took chorus every day of my highschool career, and it soon became the one thing I came to school for. Four years later, I am studying music education at Augusta University and learning things about music I could never have imagined just by listening to my radio in the car. I'm pretty sure everyone's heard this saying at least once in their life. "It's amazing how I can learn every word to a song in five minutes but can't remember a single thing that has to do with school." You might even remember the episode of Hannah Montana, when Miley and Lilly managed to fit all 206 bones into a song. It's crazy what you can do with a little bit of tune, rhythm, and thought. This is how I speak music.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
