What Music Means To Me
Tumblr

Many people believe that you need to be a musician, play an instrument, or sing for music to be a substantial part of your life. This is not the case. I'm not a musician, I don't play an instrument, and I don't sing, but music is one of the most important things in my life. To me, music isn't just a fun way to pass time, it's so much more than that. Music is an escape from reality. Music is a way to express your thoughts when you can't put them into words. Music is a world within itself, with a language that we all understand.

Music is my safety net. It catches me when I fall. Music is the one thing that will always be there for you, helping you get through whatever obstacle that comes along. I have had to face quite a few obstacles in my life and I honestly don't think I would have gotten through them without music. Music lets me express myself in ways I didn't know were possible.Through all of the drama, the break ups, the fights with my friends and family, music gave me a strength that I didn't know I had. In my opinion, music can tell you more about a person than they ever will.

People all around the world listen to music. It's something that brings us all together through all of our differences. Music is something that we can all connect, relate, and bond to. Music moves people and connects people in ways that no other medium can. Music acts like a medicine. A bond over music is a bond like no other. Music takes people out of themselves for a few hours and that is what people connect to. People connect over the freedom and love that is music.

I love music because it has always been there for me when I needed it. Music says what I can't express and takes me to a place that I can't get to on my own. Music lets you feel free and escape reality. Music makes things easier and allows you to understand people better. Music is unique to everyone and hits everyone differently. Twenty people could listen to the same song and the way that each person takes it in could be completely different. Music to me is what connects us and saves us.

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.
