500 years ago indigenous peoples must have wondered “are we alone on this planet” the way we wonder if we are alone in the universe. Then they actually had to endure attacks from aliens with superior technology like we’re afraid of.

You Know You’re A Music Major When. . .

You know the words “last time” are an absolute bold faced lie.

If you skip one class, you have to skip them all. 

The title “Practice Room” is transferable to any empty space you can find. Bathroom. Staircase. Elevator. 

If a cellphone goes off in class, you and your classmates have tried more than once to identify the interval.

You refer to people by their instrument/voice part more often than their actual name.

If a musical movie comes out, you’ll probably know every word of the lyrics before you go see it because no one will stop singing/playing it.

You can change outfits without taking any clothes off.

Having to explain why you’re wearing all black becomes a frequent occurrence. 

“I can’t, I have rehearsal.” 

You find yourself analyzing almost every piece of music you hear

The daily battle for the not-broken stand.

The crippling self-consciousness of recital posters.

The silent, subtle war between instrumentalists and singers

 You feel naked without having a pencil on your person at all times.

“What’s the football team doing on the marching band field?”

The word “MacGamut” might give you hives.

You know that juries have nothing to do with the legal system.

The beauty of blank manuscript paper. 

You conduct, with proper technique, in your car.

The staff of the music department is like a family away from home. 

Your private lesson teacher probably knows more about you than you do.

Same

When the chord resolves

[xx-queerly-beloved-xx-deactivat]

when you think it resolves but then it goes back to the dominant and keeps doing it over and over again.

[you-had-me-at-e-flat-major]

when you think it’s going to resolve for about 5 minutes then it reaches an interrupted cadence at mezzopiano

Thanks American Girl!

hobbies include: not playing my instrument, ignoring my instrument, refusing to practice, cleaning my instrument and counting it as practicing, "forgetting" to practice,

My dog probably thinks that I’m walking around the block alone for 12 hours while I’m at work.

“Are you really going to vote for Clinton just because she isn’t Trump?”

Yes? I would literally elect Chef Boyardee because he isn’t Trump.

Why you should Vote for Hillary if you are a Bernie supporter

College costs:

Bernie:  Free.  Hillary:  Significantly cheaper than currently, free for those who need it.  Trump:  Defrauded poor and working class people for 10s of thousands of dollars of tuition.

Minimum wage:

Bernie: 15   Hillary:  12-15  Trump:  Imported undocumented workers and underpaid them to work on his projects.  Currently makes his clothing line in China for tiny wages.

Foreign wars:  Bernie:  Probably not.  Hillary:  As prudent.  Trump:  NUCLEAR FUCKING PROLIFERATION!!! NOW!!!

Immigration:  Hillary and Bernie:  Path to citizenship.  Trump:  THROW THEM OUT! BUILD A WALL!

Taxes:  Bernie:  Deep tax increases on the wealthy (and middle class).  Hillary:  Some tax increases on the wealthy.  Trump:  Cut’em.  Cut’em all!

Racism:  Bernie:  Solving income inequality will solve racism.  Hillary:  we need a good plan to increase opportunities to minorities beyond solving income inequality.  Trump:  Yeah, dun care.

Sexism:  Bernie:  Solving income inequality will solve sexism.  Hillary:  Full support of all equal rights issues.  Trump:  Ladies, all your vag are belong to me (no fatties).

Gun control:  Bernie:  Mayyyyyybbbie, if you convince me hard enough.  Hillary:  Yep.  Trump:  Shoot’em if you gott’em.

Please do not listen to 25 years of GOP propaganda.  Hillary has worked on progressive causes for 40 years.  She was the 11th most liberal senator while in the Senate. Due to Republican hatred, she is the most investigated person in the country and nothing has ever come of it.  She is not a criminal, she could not be a criminal, they would have found something they could have trumped up charges on in 25 years of endless, ongoing investigations.  She’s been abused by the GOP and burned by the press over and over and is still pursuing her goal.  She is smart and ambitious and experienced and tenacious and knowledgeable and practical and none of those are bad things for a President.  Jill Stein may be a nice woman, but she has no governmental experience and practically no platform.  Gary Johnson is a Republican who cares less about social issues.  Hillary and Bernie have more politically in common than any other candidates.    Please, if you care about the issues that Bernie cares about, think about voting Hillary.

I’m a Bernie supporter but its a cold day in hell I’ll let Trump win the presidency

[sniperct]

To add, Clinton and Sanders voted the same 93% of the time they were in the senate together.

[golden-trash]

Surely, Hilary is massively flawed but Trump is the fucking devil and would cause damage on an international level if he was president. Don’t vote for Trump out of protest or spite against Hilary, you might make him president.

June 7th, 1942: Edward Hopper completes his best known painting, the seminal Nighthawks. When asked by a Chicago Tribute reporter about the philosophical meaning behind the diner having no clearly visible exits Hopper responded, “Shit. Fuck. I did it again. Goddamnit. Fuck. Not again. I did it again. Shit.” and slammed his hat on his leg.

Your tongue never sits conformablely in your mouth, and your toes are always touching, but you never realize that until someone calls attention to it.
