Why Music Is Actually Good For You

"Without music, life would be a mistake.” Friedrich Nietzsche.

Whoever you are, if you are an angel or a devil, you get to enjoy music. Music is theuniversal language of the world. Listening to your favorite music when you're having a bad moment can instantly lighten your mood and relax you. But, did you know that music is also a way to maintain a good health? It has been proven scientifically that listening to music can affect our health in a good way. Here are some of the health benefits from listening to music.

1. It makes you happier.

I don’t think this one would need a scientific prove. Everyone who listens to music can feel the dopamine flush in his/her brain.

2. It helps with memory loss.

People who suffer from memory loss can recall emotions and events that happened in the past by listening to specific tunes. It helps their brain since the part in that responsible for processing music is next to memory. This is a short video shows how powerful music is on brains.

3. It relieves stress.

“I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we’re from.” – Billy Joel. Listening to your favorite music can control the hormone that is responsible for stress, which is cortisol. This can improve our health since the majority of illnesses are caused by stress.

4. It helps with pain.

“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.” – Bob Marley

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.
