The Power Of Arts

Earth without art is just "eh."

The power and inspiration of art and music is somewhat taken for granted now a days. I personally have never been musically talented or been able to draw but to I am able to grasp their meaning is a true gift. I have a true respect of those that can channel their creativity into art.

A world without arts would be an extremely dull and dark place. People don't realize how therapeutic music and art can be. There is potentially a song or a piece of art work for every mood or feeling.

I know I can speak for almost everyone when I say music has positively impacted my life. Even though I'm the most tone-deaf person there is, music plays a huge roll in my life. Music opens so many creative doors and is an inspiration in some ways. Music is so much more than just a song or an album, it's taking the time to hear what the actual lyrics are saying or feeling like you know the band.

I know third graders that can draw better than I can, even after taking a year long drawing class. Not being able to draw to save my life almost gives me a greater respect and love for art. Art is the outlet to free your entire mind and let your creativity sore free. Being able to put a specific image from your head to paper is honestly beyond impressive.

Arts are what you make out of them and what you make could actually have an entirely different meaning than the artist intended but that is one of the beauties about them is that you can make whatever you want out of something already made. Arts are one of the most therapeutical, peaceful, mind opening things in my life. Arts allow everyone to see the true beauty of creativity.

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?
