Why KPOP Music is More Cool Than You Think

KPOP Music really is a genre of music that not a lot of people may know about. Here is what my personal opinion is when it comes to Korean Pop Music.

KPOP Artists

As a person, I feel like it is a fundamental right for us to discover new things each day. I feel like the more we discover, the more we learn about the world around us and who knows? Maybe when we discover something new, it could become something that we have a strong interest in that we want to share with the world.

Recently, I have discovered that I am beginning to like KPOP music and I just love listening to it and dancing to it. For those who don't know, KPOP is pretty much an acronym that stands for Korean Pop music. There are many groups out there to be discovered and it's really amazing to see what type of music people in another country tend to listen to.

Let me just say that if you think that this type of music will be weird and crazy, I think that you don't know unless you give it a listen. When I first heard KPOP, I thought that it was really catching and upbeat and it really was something that I could enjoy listening to. The music is really upbeat, even though I did not know what some of the lyrics because of course, they were in Korean.

However, despite the fact that the songs were mostly in Korean, there were a few words in the songs that were in English. With the combination of the lyrics, you can get a sense of what the groups are saying in their songs. Then again, there is the brilliant invention of having English subtitles for the videos that you are watching for the songs that you are listening to.

The dances that the artists put together for these songs are really cool as well; not just because you are watching them do the dance, but maybe you'll have an interest in learning the dances as well. I know that I have been listening to a good number of KPOP songs over the past few days and I have learned a good number of the dances that go along with some of these songs.

What's interesting to me is to see how my friends react to some of the KPOP songs that I have been listening to. The reaction that I usually get from them is either they also find the song catchy or they just give me weird looks. I just love to share what I just started having a particular interest in and if they give me weird looks, then that means that they're not really into it as much as me.

People have their particular interests that their friends may or may not find to be as interesting as the particular person finds it to be. With my new love for KPOP, I just love listening to it whenever I get the chance, finding new songs that are really cool as showing my friends the types of KPOP songs I've been listening to recently. I feel like KPOP is underestimated by those that haven't listened to it, so if you do, get the chance to listen to some KPOP music because it really is some cool music, in my opinion.

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.
