Nothing But The Music

To all those musicians out there

Nothing But The Music

If you're a musician, you want to learn and know every song in existence so that you are able to play it on the spot. When you have gatherings at your house, everyone demands "play us a tune or two!" If you're not good on the spot, yogurt sheepish, if you are, you're so much more than ready to tackle this little gig. If you're a beginner, you'll soon find out that once you put one little thing about to us you playing an instrument, you will be known for it. Everyone and their mother will know. Also, get ready for the song requests. Even if you don't know two chords yet, you will have lists and lists. Because hey! Who doesn't want their personal musician or private concerts?

You're going to be attached to that musical instrument. You'll feel close to empty if you don't get to play it for a day. It will become your best friend and your therapy. Every time you learn something new, you'll fly out of the room and run to where your mom is saying "mom, mom mom! look what I learned," like you're a little kid again showing off something you accomplished at your day at school. It's a whole new and different learning experience that you'll want to tell everyone about. Something that helps you express yourself.

Teaching yourself is not all that easy. So finding a small local music school that fits your needs and schedule will make your new passion grow even more. The instructors and friends that you'll make will make this all you ever want to do in love. It connects you to people in a whole new and other way; you'd be surprised. Music brings out the better side in everything. It brings out every memory and every emotion. It does wonders, really.

Sometimes, the fact that your favorite songs and childhood songs can be played with that man-made instrument will seem unreal and you'll be more than excited to just learn it and jam out with the recording. You'll say to yourself "I'll just play for 20 minutes" when you could really play for 20 hours non-stop; it is just that addicting.

When you learn that new song you've been dying to master, it is something to be proud of because not everyone can play a stringed instrument like that. You will hear, "you can play a 3-4 minute song straight through and I can't even play jingle bells? I'm jealous, you've got a talent kid" about 5 times a year guaranteed.

When you go to your towns local music store or a Guitar Center and see all those instruments, you'll be in there for a few hours so cancel all your plans and get comfortable because you will not be able to keep your hands off of one item. Once you really get hooked, your life and plans will be revolving around that musical instrument. You wont care or be able to think about anything else during the day except being able to play your jams when you get home.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
