So are you are a true music geek or simply a musician with some nerdy moments? Let's find out! Here are 11 common qualities of a true music geek, how many do you possess?

1. You NEED TO know the historical context of a piece.

"What's the era of this piece, I need to know how to correctly approach this trill?"

2. Nobody has ever heard of your favorite composer. EVER!


"Boo-teh-who-da? Who's that?" — Your Friends

3. You rearrange your life to fit in more music.

"Well, if I skipped dinner and gave up 2 hours of sleep, I could totally join that ensemble."

4. You love seemingly random musical genres.

"It's all I-IV-V-I really."

5. During your part-writing exercises you fantasize about being Bach.

Until you play them on the piano... *gulp*

6. "I can't I have rehearsal tonight" is your response to most social things.


Not that you don't have fun or socialize in rehearsal...

7. Except concerts. You attend 5,000 weekly.

This is totally you, exuberantly applauding the musical mastery you just witnessed!

8. You love confusing people with obscure musical terminology.

"You have to play it giocoso."

"What?"

"You know... giocoso."

"Dude, chill. This isn't music theory class."

9. You firmly believe music should be a part of public education.

"Music is never optional."

10. You never complain about music theory class.


Okay, maybe sometimes you complain....

11. You have the words "music geek" in your social media bios.


It's official then. You must be a music geek!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
