6 Reasons Why Music Is The Drumbeat Of Everyday Life

They say that for every person out there, there’s a form of music that speaks to them. Whether it’s light bubble gum pop of dancers, the grungy rock of metalheads or the storytelling beats of hip hop listeners. Music has so many different facets that reach people on different levels, but have you ever wondered if it effects you? Or even how?

1. Music Heals

Remember the moment after your miserable break up when you were laying on your bed wondering if anyone would ever understand what it was you were feeling? John Mayer did, and that vibrato in his voice may have been the one thing that made sense out of the water pouring out of your face.

2. Music Motivates

Nothing says a great workout like a playlist to help you power through it! Music just has a way of putting that extra oomph in every rep. Set after set. It can be helpful in any circumstance where you're not motivated enough to push through your workout of the day.

3.Music makes you move

Picture it. You're standing front row at a local concert with your friends. Hands are floating high as the performers are doing their thing on the stage. It gets so infectious that you can't help but lift your hands up too! Joining in with the hyped crowd moving along with the music.

4. Music honors an occasion

For every happy, sad, or indifferent time that you've had in your life can you name a song that accompanied that moment? Graduation day? A family member's wedding? You'd be surprised what a song could do for an occasion and how it can set the moment.

5. Music Relates

Doesn't matter if what it is that you are going through in your day, whether it's a rough patch on your way to work or a triumph after a competition there is always a soundtrack to help display your moment of truth. For any event that's taking place in your life, there is at least one song out there that can help solidify what it is that's taking place.

6. Music is fun

Remember the time your friends pressured you into singing karaoke when you didn't want to, and then afterwards you ended up having a blast? Although it can be embarrassing, just singing can be the one thing that can separate a boring experience to a fun one. Try it.

Music can mean different things depending on the type of person you are. Maybe it's what helps you get through your hardship, or maybe it's a fun to help you pass the time but on a universal level, it speaks to us all. Regardless of where you feel you are in the social category, emotional plane, or personal lifestyle, there is a form of music out there for you.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
