Music is Joyous

Oh, so joyous and meaningful...

Music is Joyous

Music is there a way of expression, a new to convey thoughts or feelings into a unique format. It’s simply not just words. It’s not usually just instruments. In many cases, it’s the combination of lyrics and music that conveys the feelings that people are feeling at certain moments.

It is really something else that we can subscribe certain memories or feelings onto different songs. In some cases, what we may be reminded of while listening to a particular song may not be what the original artist tried to convey. That is because certain things speak to certain people.

That joyful song? It could remind you of a lost one that you used to listen to it with. That's certainly not what the song was supposed to convey but that is fine.

We, the listeners, are the ones that make the songs meaningful in a lot of cases. And while most songs were written with something particular in mind, that is not always what comes across in these cases.

Some songs make you want to rock out. Others make you want to cry. Others make you want to break stuff. It’s all in the magic of music.

Listening to your playlist, nobody's else’s. Listening to the songs YOU enjoy, not what society tells you that you should like. That is something out there for everyone.

Don’t like any music? I’m sorry but I can’t help but feel sorry for you because of the joy that is listening to the music you love. I only hope that you have a similar feeling somewhere in your life.

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.
