What Music Means To Me
Tumblr

Many people believe that you need to be a musician, play an instrument, or sing for music to be a substantial part of your life. This is not the case. I'm not a musician, I don't play an instrument, and I don't sing, but music is one of the most important things in my life. To me, music isn't just a fun way to pass time, it's so much more than that. Music is an escape from reality. Music is a way to express your thoughts when you can't put them into words. Music is a world within itself, with a language that we all understand.

Music is my safety net. It catches me when I fall. Music is the one thing that will always be there for you, helping you get through whatever obstacle that comes along. I have had to face quite a few obstacles in my life and I honestly don't think I would have gotten through them without music. Music lets me express myself in ways I didn't know were possible.Through all of the drama, the break ups, the fights with my friends and family, music gave me a strength that I didn't know I had. In my opinion, music can tell you more about a person than they ever will.

People all around the world listen to music. It's something that brings us all together through all of our differences. Music is something that we can all connect, relate, and bond to. Music moves people and connects people in ways that no other medium can. Music acts like a medicine. A bond over music is a bond like no other. Music takes people out of themselves for a few hours and that is what people connect to. People connect over the freedom and love that is music.

I love music because it has always been there for me when I needed it. Music says what I can't express and takes me to a place that I can't get to on my own. Music lets you feel free and escape reality. Music makes things easier and allows you to understand people better. Music is unique to everyone and hits everyone differently. Twenty people could listen to the same song and the way that each person takes it in could be completely different. Music to me is what connects us and saves us.

28 Daily Thoughts of College Students

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
