The 6 Stages Of Finding New Music

Have you ever just had one of those moments where you're scrolling through your music and all you seem to say is no, slowly growing more and more agitated?

Then, you decide to try and find something new to spice things up and BOOM! You find it, the song or artist, the diamond in the rough, and your life is renewed. Through this process, we go through the stages, I like to call, of Music Rejuvenation.

Stage 1: The Quest Begins

This is what we've kind of talked about already. You've decided enough is enough and you are bound and determined to find something new to listen to, no matter how long it takes. So, you may ask for suggestions from friends or family or look to see what's trending.

Stage 2: Garbage. This is all Garbage!

Disappointing song after disappointing song later, and you're beginning to get frustrated. You're ready to rip your hair off or resign yourself to your fate of listening to what you have if you don't find something to pique your interest soon.

You decide to try one more time before calling it quits and this is when it happens...

Stage 3: HALLELUJAH!

Finally, you find it! That song that lifts you up and really gets the blood pumping in your veins. Your hole of boredom has been filled and you seem to be walking on air. Nothing can bring you down.

Stage 4: Download It

Now you know you need it in your life and where it is easily accessible. So, you whip out your phone, mp3, iPod or other musical device and download it to your musical library where it will be cradled and loved.

Stage 5: REPEAT! REPEAT! REPEAT!

Time to turn up the speakers as loud as they can go and possibly lose some hearing, and you get your JAM on!


One time isn't enough, so the replay button is pressed and the chords fly through the air once more. Again and again and again and again...and again until you once again reach our last stage.

Stage 6: I Have Nothing To Listen To.

And now, since that golden nugget is nothing more than fools gold to you, you must begin to find something new to listen to...here we go again.

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:

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.
