I relate to "Bob's Burgers" a lot (probably more than I should, to be honest). Being a music major, I relate to Gene a lot (probably more than I should, to be honest). Here are 14 GIFs proving that Gene Belcher knows what it's like to be a music major!
1. When you have to play different styles of music

Before your professor tells you to calm down, of course.
4. When you're performing and you see your friends in the audience like
5. When you hear someone playing your jury piece
Sometimes you hear someone practicing your piece for no reason. Sometimes you hear them stealing your thunder. Not cool. Especially if it's your signature piece.
6. When you and a friend see each other after an audition
7. When you plan your recital to look like this...
But of course, it doesn't. Instead...
8. When you end up having to work the lights at your own recital

9. When your professor says the word "choreography"
10. When you finally emerge from a practice room for the first time in hours
And you're in your comfy practicing clothes, of course.

12. Putting your practice session on pause for some gourmet food
Gourmet food (n.) - Any food that doesn't come from a vending machine.
13. Listening to your professor perform for the first time like
14. And finally, using your musical ability to seduce someone
Easier said than done, but possible. Just ask Gene.
