You Know You're A Music Major When...

Here are just a few ways you can tell a music major when you see one.

1. Staying up until 2 am to practice your instrument or work in the studio is perfectly acceptable.

If you're a music major you've definitely stayed up past your bedtime to practice. You couldn't imagine staying at the library that late, but the practice room? Of course!

2. You have playlists dedicated to your favorite types of music, including classical, musical theater, jazz, etc.

The pieces you've heard or studied have become so embedded in your brain that you have to create a special playlist for them.

3. You harmonize to every pop song you listen to.

T-Swift? Check. Arianna Grande? Check. Ed Sheeran? Check. You can harmonize and do runs like nobody's business when you're jamming out in the car or shower.

4. You have six classes in one day.


What is lunch? What is free time? It's hard to know when you have class from 8-3. You still manage to survive though.

5. You constantly think about what pieces will be on your junior/senior recital.

You already planned out the first half of your recital as a first year student. You have a list somewhere of your favorite songs that you've ever performed. We've all heard a piece and have thought "that's going to be on my senior recital."

6. You willingly listen to classical music in the car.

Sometimes it's nice to just relax when you're driving. When you turn on the radio your friends say, "What are you listening to?"

7. You carry staff paper with you to every class.

"I can take biology notes on this, right?" You own more staff paper than notebooks.

8. You dream about owning new instruments, song books, or equipment.

You want to have your own studio someday, but you know you'll be broke once you have it.

9. You attempt to conduct your favorite songs.

You've tried to conduct a Beyoncé song before and you're not ashamed.

10. "I can't. I have rehearsal."

Your friends want to hang out, but you have a two-hour dress rehearsal for your upcoming concert, tech week or a recording session. Sometimes being busy seems like a bummer, but it is so worth it.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
