Divorced, beheaded, survived. Happiness plays a huge part in everyone's life. It's nice to spend your time doing what you like and especially if you're doing it with your family and friends. There's just so many good memories to be made and so many new friends to find. Unfortunately happiness isn't the only thing that all people will encounter. Loss is also a great part of living your life. Whether it'd be a family member dying or a friend moving far away. Bonds will be broken and that’s…

Journal 5: Adulthood and Old Age Personal: Adulthood and old age, from this session I reflected deeply about my life how I got where I am today. I can describe my experience as being a roller coaster, sometimes I go up and then all of a sudden I am down fallen everyone goes through good/hard moments in his or her life. When hard moments come, everyone will want to wish to go back to the good old times this why I describe life as being a roller coaster. The lifeline exercise we did in class, I…

The whole experience was just overwhelming and I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I still remember that day like it was yesterday because it is always playing in the back of my head. The year was 2011, and it was the last Monday of October. I woke up with such excitement; all that was running through my mind was the fact that I would be indulging in a bag full of sweets and no one would be able to stop me. I walked out my front door and the sweet smell of pumpkins filled my lungs. I…

I've had some moments in my life where I've felt doubt, or I've been unsure of something. But there was one period of time in my life that's stuck with me, and I can trust that I'll never forget it. Now there's been times throughout my existence where things have gotten me down and I've been upset about times and where I've had regrets, but I had never done anything about them. Well this is the story of the time I unfortunately did. What I'm about to tell you is something that I haven't…

In a thousand years the wisdom I share will not be discussed among scholars each day. In this regard, Quintilian has already passed me up in scholarly rank. However, I still have the power to disagree with his ideas. His basis for oratory, though compelling, stands on shaky ground. It is vastly important in our vocal society to have oratory skills. This is why, after all these years, we can still use the wise words of philosophers like Quintilian, Aristotle, and Plato to improve our use of…

In My Experience: A Reflection on the Approach to Music Theory Never have I experienced a colder bucket of water to the face than when I had my first music theory class, ever. I’ll spare you the backstory and just say it did not go well for me at all. I thought I was learning the new information but instead I was a horse with blinders running a race where I had already been lapped three times and by the time I looked up I was lost. So now having taken this course and read this book excerpt I…

A Tossed Dog I walked outside, the evening was warm with a slight breeze, the sun low in the sky. A perfect evening, considering, it was mid fall. The leaves on Cottonwood tree in my front yard rustled and scratched dryly against each other in the light breeze. Since my parents were on vacation it was my job to do chores, although that was already my job. Nothing was amiss in my routine, and I was enjoying the wonderful weather. Suddenly, a shout came from the house, “Kendall, take Sadie along…

What If? What if is one of the questions in the world that nobody seems to ever have the answer to. E. E. Cummings has had a life that one can’t help but wonder, what if? What if he hadn’t published those early poems to Harvard? What if one of his three marriages had worked out? What if he never traveled the world to discover his inspiration? But, since one simply can’t make up for the lost time of 56 years without an amazing poet, we have to let our eyes wander his work and experiences of the…

Take a moment and imagine yourself in a new country. You are away from everything that was once familiar to you. Your relationships and social cognition no longer exist. You do not know your way around. Yet you are there to stay. Will you sit at the bus stop with your head in your hands, crying in despair? Or, will you go back to when you were a toddler; when everyday was new and wonderful for you? How do you feel now? That was me when I was sixteen. I decided to participate in the student…
