23 Thoughts From The Couch In Angelle Hall
Kristen Neville

We all have that one spot that we gravitate towards on campus, no matter what time of day. Whether it be your favorite coffee shop or the third floor of the library, all of your friends know that if you go missing, they would probably find you there. For us music majors, Angelle Hall is where most of our time is spent. More specifically, the couch. This couch is at least 30 years old, and has a pattern that could rival with your grandmother's favorite cross-stitching patterns. The fabric must have been white at one point, but now it's yellow, wrinkled and faded from the many musician's butts that have sat upon it over the years. Sure, it's pretty worn out, but I'll be the first to argue that it's the most comfortable piece of furniture on the entire campus.

As much as we complain about how old and gross it is, we'd all be disappointed if someone were to replace it. That couch has probably heard the best and the worst moments of our lives, and I’m sure it has some interesting thoughts about us too…

  1. "Why are you in here before your 8 AM? It’s too early for practice, friend.” or if we sleep in and don't get to a practice room before our 8 AM's:
  2. “Why are you in here after midnight? It’s too late for practice, friend.”
  3. “Seriously, it’s 3 in the morning. You are insane. Go to sleep.”
  4. “I meant in your bed. In your room. Not on me.”
  5. “Is that his toothbrush? Is he staying here overnight?!”
  6. “Maybe if you practiced as much as you complain about practicing, you’d see some progress.”
  7. “There’s like 6 too many people on top of me right now and I’m not okay with it.”
  8. “It’s 5 in the morning and you are all STILL HERE. Do you ever sleep?”
  9. “I don’t know what language that chick is singing in, but it sounds like she’s chocking.”
  10. “Awww, Claire De Lune. I’ve heard that piece 162 times since I got here!”
  11. “These two really need to just get together already instead of sitting on me and flirting every day.”
  12. “Must be a weekend, no one’s here.”
  13. “Must be a Thursday, everyone’s practicing for Master Classes tomorrow.”
  14. “I wonder if other couches see this many stressed out students all the time.”
  15. “Probably not.”
  16. “His scales sound like crap.”
  17. “Wait, they’re together now? I started that entire relationship!”
  18. “His scales don’t sound like crap anymore! You go, tuba player!”
  19. “That’s cute, these kids are all playing their music for each other. Yay for friendship!”
  20. “Do you wait until the last minute to do all of your homework?”
  21. “Oh, that’s right. You practice too much to do all of your other homework.”
  22. “If I hear one more piano dexterity drill, I will purposefully break myself to get out of here."
  23. “Just kidding. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else."

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
