11 Things that Happened To You In An A Cappella Group

Here's a little article for anyone who has ever been in an a cappella group! We know that "Pitch Perfect" is a scam and we know that we have what it takes to be on "The Sing-Off!" If you were in an a cappella group, you know these 11 things all too well!

1. You have a love/hate relationship with "Pitch Perfect."

Yes, it's like the greatest thing that has happened to a cappella since Pentatonix, but it's also ridiculously unrealistic!

2. If you’re a middle part, you live for singing that one note in the weird jazzy chord.

There is nothing more satisfying than nailing that chord.

3. You try really hard to dance even though you know you suck at it.

You wish that you could do all the cool flips, but you actually just look like you tripped over your own feet.

4. You’ve been accidentally spit on by your vocal percussionist.

And it felt just like this, but you smiled anyway because it was during a performance.

5. You’re pretentious enough to call your beat box a “vocal percussionist.”

Those people deserve respect...and a really snobbish title!

6. You secretly wish that you and your group could just make up perfect arrangements of songs on the spot.

How did they do that in "Pitch Perfect?!" (Hint: they didn't.)

7. Your group went (or tried to go) to a Pentatonix concert.

And it was beautiful. And you may or may not have cried.

8. Your favorite gigs were the ones that gave you free food.

Thank god for crappy pizza and individually wrapped cookies that you can smuggle into your bag!

9. You walk around campus humming your harmony to pop songs.

Even if it's not the melody, this song is so dang catchy!

10. You still listen to college a cappella groups (and you still maintain that yours is the best!).

Sure you cried when you first heard this rendition of "Chandelier" but, yeah, your group is totally better!

11. You couldn’t imagine singing with anyone else!


I don't know what I'd do with three extra hours in the week! I'd miss these goons to much! (And now for a shameless plug of the group I'm in! Check us out!!)

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
