Summer is flying by and soon enough, it will be time to start packing up your things and heading to school. With classes, friends, and part-time jobs, I know college can be super busy. I also know that Pitch Perfect 2 might have actually turned you away from a cappella music.... (les-be-honest, that movie was not great, y'all.) But, I'm here to tell you why joining an a cappella group might just be the be the best decision you ever make.


8. You get to sing!

I mean, duh. It’s a singing group. But, for all you dorks super cool kids who did choir in high school, this is a great opportunity to sing in a group again, without the atrocious floor-length dresses.


7. Your group will most likely have a ridiculous punny name


Like the “Shirley Tempos” or the “Chord On Blues.” I don’t know whose job it is to come up with these names, but I want it.


6. It’s good for you!

We all know how stressful school can be, which is why it is so important to schedule in breaks and take care of your body. Singing in a group has been proven to relieve stress and lower anxiety! So, instead of sitting in bed and binge-watching New Girl (Max Greenfield, amiright??), go to rehearsal and sing your troubles away with some “zhum dum zhum dum daaaaaaa”s




5. You’ll be on a CD

Now, this depends on what group you’re in and what the budget is like, but most groups get the opportunity to record a CD at some point. Trust me, you will never feel more ~aLiVe~ than when you have those giant headphones on, pretending like you're Adele recording her next hit.


4. You may also be in a music video!

Again, this depends on the group. But, if you’re lucky, you will get to actually film a music video (instead of singing in the mirror, pretending like you’re in one…..)

And if you’re REALLY lucky, you might record a hit music video like this group from JMU….

3. You will make more new friends than you can count.

You’re not just joining a group, you’re becoming a member of an entire community. A cappella is like one big giant co-ed sorority/fraternity (but WITH SINGING)


2. You get to perform concerts/gigs in really cool places

Aside from the gigs you get to do on campus, a lot of groups actually go on tour. I don’t know about you, but traveling around to different towns and singing with my best friends sounds like #heaven to me.


1. You have best friends for life.

When you sing with a group of people for four years, they become your family. You’ve seen each other at your worst and your best. You form a bond that will last for years and years to come, which means you’ll probably schedule reunion gigs like every year just so you can see your family again.


SO, when a cappella auditions come around this Fall, pick a killer song and get ready for the best time of your life.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
