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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
