11 Types of People You Meet in Choir
keepcalm-o-matic.co.uk

Choir can definitely be a very overlooked activity at many schools which is a shame because there are so many amazing choirs in colleges and high schools everywhere. People who are simply observing from the outside tend to think that people in choir are either like the kids from Glee or Pitch Perfect or that they’re all religious nuts. While this may not be wrong for some, there are plenty of other types in choir that they’re forgetting.

1. The One at the Piano

This one’s pretty obvious because during any sort of break they will try to find a piano and break into Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” or that one four chord song melody everyone always does. This is the Glee and Pitch Perfect type who can give choir kids a bad rep.

2. The Teacher’s Pet

This one will volunteer for everything – solos, leading sectionals, filing music. They also have a favorite note, composer, lyricist, and they probably know or have sung every single song at least twice before. You know the type.

3. The One Who Wants to be Famous

This is the person always auditioning for solos and singling louder than everyone. They tend to have trouble blending and also have the world’s biggest ego.

4. The One Who Sings Opera

This person generally has a voice that matures at a very young age. They love singing arias and unfortunately can have trouble blending if the choir doesn’t have the right sound.

5. The One Who Looks Like They Never Want to be There

Only on the exterior of course, because you know at home they probably dance around their house to Dan Forrest’s compositions on Spotify and secretly makes copies of every song they sing and keeps them in a binder for memories.

6. The Theater Person

This is the person who is probably only doing choir because it helps them when they audition for musicals. They can only talk about theater and sing just a little too loud. Most likely to be yelled at for scooping.

7. Silent but Deadly

This person is quiet most of the time – by this I mean they don’t really talk much. Then they open their mouth and sing and people's jaws drop and everyone nods their head in approval .

8. The One Who Writes Their Own Music

This is the person who also plays guitar or piano and writes acoustic songs in their bed with a cup of tea and a succulent and probably has a tapestry in their room. They never sing covers because they write their own songs which are so much better, obviously.

9. The One Who is Also in Band or Orchestra

They’re always so busy and are most likely always missing rehearsals for the other rehearsals.

10. The One Who Looks Like They Don’t Belong

This kid probably listens to death metal or post hardcore music in their spare time and wears really thick eyeliner and has dark hair and probably a lot of piercings. They also tend to have really pretty singing voices.

11. The One Who Just Loves Choir So So Much

Okay wait, this is all of us, nevermind.

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.
