Taking BACK the Halls: My fav struttin' tunez

Most people today have some kind of an mp3 device, whether it's your cell phone or an iPod we all have something portable that we listen to music on.

When I first started at York my iPod was my security blanket. I took it everywhere with me, for two reasons: 1. Because I actually really like music and 2. Because I REALLY didn't want to people to notice that I was walking alone :(

I thought that I would be the ONLY one walking around on my own and so I figured that if I had my iPod people wouldn't notice me.

But the more I walked around the more I noticed that there were TONS of other people also walking around on their own listening to music. That got me thinking that maybe...just maybe I wasn't the only one with this BRILLIANT idea...or with this fear of not knowing anyone.

Now many years later I have realized that EVERYONE has probably felt alone or out of place at some point in their lives. And unfortunately there will be at least one time that you'll feel that way at York...but the point of this post is NOT to bring you down BUTTT to inspire you to take pride in the fact that you're on your own...because believe me it does have it's perks!

Be honest you'll probably take your iPod with you on your first day of classes...you'll probably listen to some music or play with apps while you wait for your first class to begin. But it doesn't have to be an isolating or depressing experience. I challenge you to take it back and make it positive.

Music has the AMAZING ability to lift our spirits and improve our moods. We all have songs that we listen to that just make us happy...NOTHING is better than feeling like a BOSS when you walk down the hall jamming out to your fav tunez. So my challenge is to do JUST THAT!

Find some songs that you love and put them on your mp3 and jamm out to them while you walk to class on your first day.
