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!

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.

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.
