Hey guys! Hope y’all are staying healthy and staying home. Finals are in just a few weeks, and I don’t know about you guys, but I feel like I have to study extra hard because of the online format. No one knows what to expect, and we’re all feeling the repercussions of being quarantined.   […]

Week 2483 of social distancing and we’re still here… Just doing the same things that we did last week, over and over again… taking a walk to the ice cream shop just to get out of the house… watching Netflix like it’s your new job… You know how it is.   Anyways, this week I’ll […]

Week 3 of social distancing (I think? Honestly March has lasted an eternity). I’m feeling a bit more adjusted to being at home, I don’t know about you guys. But I think we’re getting back into midterm season because I have 3 exams in the next 3 days, and I think others are feeling the […]

Week 2 of social distancing, and I’ve realized there’s only so many times I can walk around my neighborhood. Hopefully this self-isolation helps us protect others and get back to normal sooner.   At the recommendation of Nick, one of my classmates, I’ll be talking about Richard Wagner this week. He was a German Romantic […]

So, we’ve all had a bit of a change in scenery… instead of writing from my dorm room, I’m writing from my bedroom in Jefferson, Maryland. And you all will most likely be reading this from home as well. Stay safe in these trying times and wash your dang hands please!   Anyways. As you […]

(Ah finally, a man with an actual photograph instead of a painting.)   We are so dang close to spring break I can almost taste my dad’s carrot cake. Just a couple more days of projects and exams and then we’re there! And then we most likely get to do homework over spring break too! […]

Midterms. Projects. Papers. How many more weeks till spring break? Too many, in my opinion. However, this week I’ll be talking about a guy who makes such great music that he’s famous for making people fall asleep with his lullaby. Johannes Brahms!   The third (and most often overlooked) of the Big Three B’s of […]

Hello again! This week we will be taking a look at Beethoven, one of the “three B’s” of classical music along with Bach and Brahms. This blog will be slightly less lighthearted than my others because I wanted to tackle the issue of Beethoven’s mental health. Mental health affects so many students nowadays, but back […]

(Have you guys ever wondered if classical composers actually look nothing like their paintings? Sorry I get sidetracked sometimes.)   So, it’s the fourth week of school, and I don’t know about you guys, but I’m dragging. My workout schedule has gone out the window (oops) and has been replaced by studying, tutoring, band, homework, […]

Hey again y’all, back to another semester of college and blogging! I know it’s hard to adjust back to our work-filled lives as we come back from break. But as the title and Haydn will remind you, you got this –  keep checking things off your to-do list! I’m going to continue my thread from […]
