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.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.
