Why I Decided To Start Making Music

The reason behind my greatest passion.

Why I Decided To Start Making Music
Adam Carter

Music has always been what I loved since I could really understand it. I always loved the aspects of music and how the chords and songs are put together. I never knew how to really make music when I was younger but I always wanted to make a song. For the longest time in middle school, I would just do some covers and see where I could go with that.The first cover song I made, I released my 8th-grade year. The song was to this girl that I had feelings for, and I really didn't know what to say to her in person. So I wanted to let YouTube do the work for me. As cliche as that may sound, I felt that was the better way to go about the situation. But this was just the beginning of how I started to make music and why I decided to.

The reason I decided to pursue music is because I wanted to make something of myself. I first started recording songs my freshman year of high school in 2009. I wanted to start making music mainly because I was pretty depressed at this time. I didn't feel comfortable in my own skin and I didn't know what to do. So I started writing songs to clear my mind and help me cope. I also wanted to start this music for my mother. My mother has provided for me, supported me with all my goals and aspirations, and has been through so much in her life. I just want to pay her back everything she deserves. Now that I am older I feel that I am so much better with my music and I have so much to talk about now. My wordplay, flow, and how I create my songs is so diverse and I love the sound that I am coming into. The main topics my songs really relate to are relationships, fallen flings, things that I want to recreate, or just life in general and my goals. Thus, far I am most proud of "Joint", a song you can find on Soundcloud under the handle "YangGang_AC".

At the end of the day, I just hope my dreams and aspirations with my own music can become a reality for me. I want to make my mother proud and set her up for life. I want to prove everyone wrong, to show that I have what it takes to make it. Music is my passion, the reason why I am in school and earning my degree and I hope everyone can take this ride with me.

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
