College life: Ramen, Meaningless Rants, Netflix, Nudes, Callouses, and Wanderlust

So I've noticed how I haven't blogged for almost a month and to all who actually read my blogs, I apologize. I always pictured myself balancing a job, school, and music but I never really thought I would actually get around to doing it. It seems like I have so much to say but no motivation to actually get the words out of my mouth or in a blog. College has been so good to me (so far), and as a firm believer in karma that means that I have been good to it as well.

MEANINGLESS RANT (warning - This is off topic): I was writing an online journal entry the other day about social media and its effect on society when I noticed, 'facebook' had a red error line underneath it. I went to right click and the options given to replace it were: 'Facebook', 'face book', and 'face-book'. I then thought to myself, we live in a world where 'facebook' auto corrects to 'Facebook' when we text and when we type, the computer gives us the suggestion to change it. Now i'm not saying we shouldn't capitalize it (thankfully twitter doesn't need to be capitalized) but, the word Facebook has become so significant and such a social norm in our daily lives that technology suggests we make it important. **END**

So far my life has revolved around music, movie dates, hypnotists, jazz (Charles Mingus), homework, new friends, reggae, and fun. Never really got into reggae music or jazz but you'd be surprised at how fast college can change a person. There will be a lot of night time adventures and reminiscing about the past. Yesterday was my first Concert Band rehearsal and I felt completely lost. As a cellist (of 4 years now) and previous marching band member, I completely suck at percussion and keeping a beat. My callouses are starting to come back from going on vacation during the summer and my fingers have been so sore and numb (Yes, I am blaming my callouses for me sucking at bass drum). I miss when things were simple and waking up in the morning required sticking to a schedule. It's sad to say but I miss High School and being a part of the system. It's pretty ironic seeing as how I'm all about the resistance, bringing down the system and how the fall of the human race is inevitable, but I kind of miss being told what to do. 

As I get older there are three things I have learned that I'll probably never forget: 

1. Never take things personal.

2. Storming away angrily with  a cello on your back is no fun.

3. What sounds better than one cello? Two.
