Although you're supposed to practice 2 hours a day, it's easy to ignore that fact and only practice when you have something coming up. Here's how it usually goes:

1) Realizing You Need To Practice

Maybe you have an upcoming lesson, jury, or recital or maybe you're a good music major and practice two hours a day. Regardless, the time has come to lock yourself in the practice room.

2) Procrastination


You know... Maybe you don't need to practice. There's so much for you to do... Like scrolling through Tumblr for hours, doing all your laundry, literally anything other than practicing.

3) Finally Going To The Practice Rooms

Accepting that your really do have to practice, you begin the walk of shame across campus to the practice room.

4) More Procrastination

You know, you made it this far, why not check what's happened on twitter in the last 5 minutes before going up.

5) Warming Up

After working your way into a practice room, you finally begin to actually accomplish something productive! Way to go!

6) Even More Procrastination


Warming up is hard work, so obviously it's time to take another brain break!

7) Actually Practicing Your Music

Finally! The reason that you did all this work! Time to actually practice!

8) Getting Stuck On A Hard Part

It was bound to happen eventually, you finally got stuck. Time to play that portion until you have it stuck in your for the rest of the semester.

9) Feeling Like A Failure


You just, can't get it right. Why are you even a music major? Why bother? Oh right, because there's nothing else for you to do with your life...

10) Accepting Defeat And Go Home

You did a lot of hard work today, way to go champ! Go binge watch Netflix!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
