Why Music Is So Awesome

Music is the greatest get-away.

Music has always played an important role in many people's lives. It has been a saving grace in time of need. Music has been there when no one else has. Music has been a peace in anger, a comfort in sadness, an up lifter in hard times, a relaxation in stress. There's always so many different types of emotions attached to so many different songs, and that's what we love about it.

I remember sitting in my room one night, so angry at my parents after we had a fight. I was punching walls and screaming into my pillow, I was so livid. I couldn't calm down for the life of me no matter what I did and so I did the only thing I could think of; listen to music. I layed on my floor and turned on "Relaxation Radio" on Pandora and felt all my boiling anger slowly subside. My anger turned into desolation, then into peace and into so many different emotions as I listened to each song. I had chills on every inch of my body.

Music is a way to put emotions into words. This generation has so many different types of music that help us express who we are and how we feel. As time goes on it keeps getting harder and harder to express how we feel without judgment, and music allows us to do that in a round a bout way.

For many of us, music has been a saving grace. When we've had a hard day, we crank up the radio and let all the stress fade away. The great thing about music is that there's always a song that fits into any situation. Music is one of the greatest things ever invented.

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
