It is a commonly accepted sentiment among society today that music is super awesome. No matter what age you are, music undoubtedly has played an integral role in the lives of nearly every single person living in the modern world. However, if one utilizes music on a more situational and daily basis, it can be appreciated even further. As we go about our lives and the various components of our daily routines, there is an infinite number of songs that are perfect to orchestrate our lives. By making playlists for many different occasions, we can create a soundtrack to our own lives.

Despite the differences in our lives, everyone could benefit from creating playlists to give a soundtrack to our lives. For instance, the average college student could make playlists for doing homework, getting ready for a night out, partying, or chilling with friends in a dorm room. These are all nearly universal types of playlists for those who are living at school, and they will have a huge benefit when these times roll around and everyone is searching for the perfect song. This way, by making these playlists ahead of time, there will be no delay in finding that perfect tune since there will already be playlists set up for the occasion.

Different from a college student, the average adult can very easily benefit from creating playlists to orchestrate their lives as well. It may seem not quite as clear cut, but there are definitely occasions which are perfect to have a playlist made for as an adult. For example, an adult could have a playlist for while they are cooking, playing games with their children, driving around in their cars, or even for while working depending on one's profession.

I am a true believer that life is far more enjoyable when listening to music. By having a set playlist for nearly every aspect of our lives, we are adding a sense of excitement to tasks which are otherwise not so enjoyable. Thus, music can cause us to be more excited to live our lives and carry out even the more menial components of life. In addition to the more specific playlist, we could all also have playlists that are a collection of our favorite songs for when we want to share music or simply remind ourselves of some of life's smaller pleasures. I truly believe that by adding a bit of a specified musical soundtrack to our daily lives, life can be enjoyed on a brand new and even more satisying level.

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?
