If you're an incoming college student majoring in music, then you are probably well aware that we tend to have a plethora of other items to stress about than most other students. Especially being a freshman who is new to everything, plenty of thoughts run through our scattered minds. So without further ado, here are 10 thoughts freshmen music majors have.

1. Have an audition coming up? It's all that's on your mind.

Mmm, this cereal tastes like - audition.

2. Woah was that dude actually playing? Am I supposed to go to this school?

Maybe my major is supposed to be in sleeping...

3. What if my instrument decides not to work one minute before class/lesson/big audition?


So sorry...my dog ate my clarinet.

4. Wait, I have a class that's not in the music building? Where am I going?

I guess I'll follow all these other lost freshmen.

5. Thank you summer vacation for letting my brain forget almost all basic music concepts.

Can I just tattoo the circle of fifths on my arm please?

6. New to piano class? Just a reminder there are eighty-eight keys and you have only ten fingers.

And yet, the guy next to me plays like Mozart.

7. What if i accidentally steal someone's designated practice room and they kill me?

I'm only a first year please pity me.

8. What happens if I actually play something really good and then everybody thinks I'm trying to draw attention to myself?

What a show off.

9. Oh my gosh there's the director of bands. Should I bow? Salute? Offer a gift?

Or I'll just stare in awe and hope they remembered my name.

10. Even though college music is stressful, we can't help but be thankful for the opportunity to study what we love everyday.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
