Hey guys,
Today was my first day of college. I, unfortunately, didn't have any music classes. Those start tomorrow. I didn't even have musical theater today. The audition is on Thursday. I decided to sing "Anything Goes" by Cole Porter. It's a great belt number and is right in the sweet spot of my range, so I think it'll go well. Hopefully I'll make it in.
My first class this morning was Humanities at 8am. I think I'm actually going to enjoy that class. After that, I waited around in the library with my friend until our classes started at 11. I went off to freshmen composition. That was a strange class.
Not a lot to write about today. Oh well.

Hi y'all,
Tomorrow is the day. The day I start my journey as a music major. I realized I forgot to tell say that I'm studying music therapy once I'm done with community college. I've wanted to study music therapy for a little over a year now. I had always known that I wanted to study music but I didn't know what I wanted specifically to study. At one point I wanted to be a performer. I wanted to do the whole American Idol thing and become famous and what not. And then I decided that that wasn't for me. Then I wanted to be on Broadway. That lasted for a few years. When I was actually cast in my first musical, I couldn't really dance. So I ruled out being on Broadway. When I was cast as Sally Brown in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, I realized that I definitely wanted to keep theater in my life no matter how bad of a dancer I was. Which isn't that bad. I can dance. Just not as well as some people. So after some research, I discovered music therapy and I fell in love with the idea of it. For those of you who don't know, music therapy is a form of healing the mind and body. Music has been proven to help people with physical, mental, and emotional disabilities. Helping people is a huge part of my life as well as music, so I thought "why not just make it my career?" and that's what I plan on doing.
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."

Hey there,
College is looming over me like a cloud. Whether that cloud is dark or not I haven't quite figured out yet. I am excited to start college and not being in high school. I'm excited to be starting my grown up life, however, I don't actually want to become a grown up. But that's life and there's no changing that. I'll just have to be a kid on the inside for the rest of my life. I think I'm okay with that.
Today I was faced with the hardship of saying goodbye to my best friend of 8 years as she goes to college in Tampa at USF. Yeah, yeah, it's only two hours away, she'll be home every two weeks. But anyone with a long time best friend will tell you that it's not the same. For someone who's been seeing their best friend almost every day for the past 8 years, it's hard to come to terms with the fact that that's coming to an end. But it's another step in our adventure as friends and it will only bring us closer together.
I've just decided that I am looking forward to being a college student and experiencing new things. It will be fun and hopefully a little bit exciting. being a music major should keep me on my toes. I'm sorry this post isn't really about being a music major. But that will come on Monday. At any rate, enjoy the last weekend of your summer!

Well hello there,
I'm not even sure if anyone is going to read this blog. But as an up and coming narcissist, I decided to make it anyway.
I am a freshman music major here in Florida. I start school on Monday and I guess you could say I'm terrified. I have no idea what to expect. I don't know anybody and I'm really awkward at making new friends. So... hopefully it'll be okay and I can at least make one friend on Monday.
My music classes consist of applied voice lessons, concert choir, and musical theater ensemble. I have to audition for both concert choir and musical theater, which I'm not sure I understand because I auditioned with the teacher for a scholarship and received one. So, I'm not sure why I would need to audition again. But it's okay. I don't mind auditioning. I just have to pick a song to audition with for musical theater. I need to prepare a vocal jazz solo. If anyone is reading this, any suggestions?
