Why We Make Music

Started at a young age, we noticed that these people made songs for everyone around the world. Artists in a way ruled the world. When you went on youtube you saw an endless amount of music. When you watched TV you heard music in the background or the artists were interviewed for their hit single or music video that just dropped. MTV, CTV, BET, etc... as kids we were surrounded by music. In the car with your parents you listened to your favorite song but if it had bad words they would change it. From that time you got your first iPod with no screen, to the iPod touch with hundreds maybe even a thousand or more songs on it. Music has been a part of our lives since we could remember.

As we get older we notice that girls love people like Justin Bieber and we just wanted girls to like us. For girls, they noticed that female artists had all the guys and best designer clothes. We all wanted to be them, for whatever reason. We envied the life of artists and we also wanted the fame and the money and everyone to like us. As a young teen, we did not understand everything that came with the fame. We thought that being on TMZ was cool, paparazzi following us around was what we wanted. We didn't understand that there is no privacy when you're famous, but we eventually figured it out. We saw how media negatively affected the lives of famous people and the relationships that they have. Now we are doubting whether we want to be famous or not.

We are even older, late teens or young adult and now we have really gotten into music and the lives of our famous celebrities. We look up to these artists because we like the message they share through their music or who they are as a person. Whether they are goofy on social media or they are interested in some of the same things we are interested in. As we get older we invest more time into music and invest more time in getting to know the artist beyond music.

Why we make music? We make music to be the inspiration we had. We make music to send a message and show people that they are not the only ones who are going through a rough time. Whether you have a million fans or are a normal person on the street, you go through stuff. That is why we make music. Music is not just a form of art or a form of profit. It is a lifestyle, it is a way to inspire generations to come. Music is everything to some of us, it can make us feel a million different emotions. Music can help someone make it through a bad day. We make music because we need music. Life would be boring without music and so stressful if we did not have music to listen to so that we could relax and free our minds. Music allows us to be creative. It lets us share our life experiences and how we feel.

Why we make music? there is no one reason, but an endless amount of reasons. In case you were wondering.

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.
