10 Things I Would Rather Do Than Practice

And I Am Probably Actually Doing

10 Things I Would Rather Do Than Practice

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 Professor

Oh 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.

10) Listen to My Non-Music Major Friends Brag About Their Freetime

Well, back to the practice rooms I go!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
