1) Sleep
We hardly get enough sleep as it is as college students, balancing school life and social lives. So what if I decide to take a nap next to my instrument in the practice room?
2) Eat
I mean, who needs to play the Fight Song for the 40th time that day? I'll enjoy my 3rd quarter snack instead.
3) Find Somewhere to Park on Campus
To be honest, if I know that I won't find parking anywhere near the practice rooms, then I probably am not going to be practicing that day.
4) Take Core Classes
I mean, I only need to know how to count to 4 over and over again, but this Statistics class will probably have fewer skipped days than my practice schedule.
5) Go to Only 0 Credit Hour Classes
Yes, these are required for your music degree. Countless hours that barely make it to your transcript and you can never get back. But this is still preferable to practicing that one difficult measure for hours.
6) Break My Instrument Before a Performance
Now, I don't have to practice, right? Oh, I do? But it doesn't work anymore! Still gotta practice? Alright, back to scales it is.
7) Learn A Different Instrument
Why would I want to be amazing at one instrument when I can be mediocre with 12?8) Upset My Studio ProfessorOh wait, that already happens...
9) Practice
Sometimes, you would rather practice than practice. And although that makes no sense to non-music majors, it doesn't have to.
Well, back to the practice rooms I go!
