6 Highs And Lows When Wearing Headphones

Each day hundreds of innocent individuals aimlessly walk the city with headphones glued to their ears. Despite cluelessly passing by friends or occasionally stumbling on a piece of protruding sidewalk, music guarantees an unwavering sense of stability and peace of mind. Ultimately, listening to music is one of the most effective activities for channeling heightened stress or filling the time before yet another tedious class lecture. Each step requires constant concentration to avoid any embarrassing or regrettable moments. Therefore, with one foot in front of the other, please enjoy 6 likely encounters when wearing headphones.

1. Tripping or running into someone

Sometimes the music is more important than the approaching hole in the ground or the person standing directly in front of you.

2. Avoid talking to people

Certain days occur when you simply aren't in the mood to talk. You notice a classmate or old friend you haven't spoken to in quite some long time and choose to hide behind your headphones rather than endure an awkward conversation.

3. Become more upbeat

Choosing the appropriate song can easily change your upsetting day into a positive mindset. Music can turn even the most challenging day into an upbeat time.

4. Appear clueless to your surroundings

You select your favorite song and quickly become lost in the lyrics and tranquilizing power of the beat. Although you believe you look normal, the blank dreamy expression on your face says otherwise.

5. Distracted from important or interesting events

Sometimes the music is so engaging you fail to notice free food and drinks distributed on a hot summer day or obliviously pass a group of friends nearby.

6. An effective way to pass the time

With an hour or more to lose, there's no better way than breaking out a few signature dance moves.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
