The Struggle Of Being A Music Lover

Anyone who loves music with a great passion can't understand someone who doesn't love music. Being a music lover means that pretty much anything reminds you of music, and you take music very seriously. Music isn't just an interest or hobby, it becomes a way of life for some. If you're one of those people, then you'll be able to relate to the following points.

1. You get overly excited when your song comes on.

Like seriously, sometimes you wonder how many people see you freak out when your favorite song comes on the radio, and it's even worse when you're in the car with someone because sometimes you can't get excited about it. Then of course, there are your closest friends who completely understand that you're just crazy or they like the song too, so you end up blasting the radio and dancing to the song with them.


2. Listening to music in public.

3. You hum, tap, or lip sync to songs without knowing.

How many time have you been just sitting somewhere with background music, and you just sit there doing one of these things? I've done it more times than I can count, and most of the time it's when I'm at a restaurant which makes it even worse 'cause whoever I'm out to eat with just makes a weird face at me. I can't help it! Music is everywhere, and I love it too much to ignore it.

4. The feeling of rediscovering a song from your childhood...

5. New album means new tour.

The statement itself should just get you excited. Automatically when an artist announces that they're in the process of making another album you immediately wonder when the tour will be announced and which song title it will be named after from the new album. Then of course there's the excitement of buying the tickets once they announce a show near you, and after that the concert is by far the highlight of the whole process.

6. Changing the station to avoid hearing a song only to find it on another station.

Nothing is worse than purposely changing the station to avoid listening to a song only to find it being played on three other stations all at about the same point in the song.

7. Road trips? More like new music trip.

Any time your family goes on a trip somewhere you love it because it means you get to discover new radio stations which could lead to discovering new songs. There's nothing more exciting than finding a new song you really like. It doesn't matter if it just got released to the radio or if it's from before you were born because your parents found an oldies station. Finding a new song you really dig is always a rush and the best part of a road trip.

8. Concerts are attended more than family events.

Your cousin is having a birthday party the night of a concert that you bought tickets to months before; there's a 10 percent chance that you'll skip the concert for the party. Then again, you bought these tickets as a birthday present to yourself... four months ago... so that you and your best friend could go... and you're not sure when they'll be back to this venue... so you go with your gut instinct, and you go to the concert, and your mom gets upset, but she gets even more upset when you keep talking about the concert a month after.

9. Making up dances to your favorite song.

This is something many people do, but never admit. If you are a horrible dancer but passionate about music, there's a very high chance that you've made up a dance or two in your time to some of your favorite songs.

Maybe your friends even join in with you.

10. Casual conversation reminds you of song lyrics.

You said you want it to rain tomorrow? Is it because you're thirsty or because tomorrow's another day? Oh, what does it matter anyways, I mean tomorrow is another day, and you are thirsty anyways so just bring on the rain. (The song I'm referring to is "Bring on The Rain" by Jo Dee Messina, but you can do it with almost any other song.)

11. Music takes up more space in your phone than anything else.

I'm pretty sure that I have over 3GB of music on my phone and maybe only a half GB of contacts. That includes my email and Facebook synced contacts. As for pictures, I think I'm around 1.5GB for photos and videos and that along with music is what my phone consists of. So yes, I do have an obsession with music, and no, I do not think that it's a problem.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
