11 Thoughts Of A Music Therapy Major

I have been at college for about a month and a half now. I quickly learned, that my major is not easy and everyone gets stressed about the same things. Here are some things that are probably going through our minds

1. "If someone asks me what music therapy is one more time..."

Literally everyone asks us this question. We come home during the holidays and people ask how school is going. We tell them it’s fine and then tell them what we’re majoring in. The response: "OOOH, Music Therapy? What is that?" We hate answering the question, but our professors loves it.

2. "If I hear someone complain one more time about the 4 classes they're taking."

I'm taking 9. And that doesn't include my choir, private lessons, practice time or any other rehearsals that I have that week. So you can stop complaining about how your classes suck and you have no time, because you’re wrong.

3. “Sorry, I can’t, I have class.”

Free time consists of practicing and sleep is for the weak.

4. "What ARE we doing?"

Talking about cortana and blaming everything on her. Don't question us, you don’t understand.

5. “This is the hardest thing I have ever done.”

Almost every class we walk out of, we have no idea what just happened. Eventually we will figure it out.

6. “Maybe I can switch majors.”

We have probably all thought it, but at the end of every day we love what we do.

7. "Can I sign up for music therapy, because this major makes me need it."

8. "I just sang songs, danced, and played instruments in class. Literally the best class ever.”

9. “I will hate zero credit classes”

I haven’t even started my zero credit classes yet and I’m already dreading them, but I also know I’m going to love it’s going to help me.

10. “Maybe I can just skip practicing today”

We think we can skip practicing, but we all know we can’t. If we don’t practice, we don’t learn anything. So instead of sleeping or watching that netflix episode we force ourselves to go practice.

11. “Breathe, self. Breathe. Inhale, Exhale.”

In the end, everything is ok

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

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.
