Finally the day has come for the due date of our very first college assignment, College Study Skills --- Vocabulary Journal. What a relief! But then again, the truth is shoved right in my face, though one is down, another one will fill in the space. Assignments are never-ending. Great. @@

My head is aching and there is so many things that are running through my head. Assignments.....assignments.....assignments. I still can't figure out why I get all stressed-out about all this....(oops, can't say it here ><). I keep trying to tell myself, "Come on! It's just assignments! No big deal!"

Obviously, it's not working at all. Or else, I won't have a wall post from my cousin that was posted on my wall on Facebook. It said,
"CAN YOU STOP IT ON THE ASSIGNMENTS!! IT'LL KILL YOU ONE DAY!! TAKE A DAY OFF FOR GOD'S SAKE!"

p.s. yes, it was all typed in BIG letters. O_O

And here I am, taking a day off. Actually it's not really a day off since I'm here blogging. But there's always a way to get all my frustrations out of me, that is listening to music.

I love music, any genre as long as I think it's nice. I have a playlist of songs in my computer that covers from country to heavy metal, instrumental or soundtrack, Hollywood artist singles to Anime theme songs. But one particular genre of music attracts my attention the most, which is rock music.

Soft rock, rap-rock, alternative rock, punk rock, hard rock, country rock, grunge, etc. Don't ask me to list them all out 'cause that would be impossible. And don't ask me which rock band I like 'cause I couldn't name them all. Actually, I just remember the song and not the rock band names. I pay more attention to the song than the rock band. And it's the song that attracts me, not the rock band. hehe.

For me, rock music is the best way to express any feelings. Anger, sadness, happy, excited, brokenhearted, and even LOVE. I love rock music because I love the beat of the drum. And when the guitar collaborates with the drum, it is PERFECT.

I love singing along to rock songs as rock songs are meant to sang aloud. haha. With the speakers(not earphones) tuned to an acceptable loudness, I just hit the track with my door room closed, and I do my paperwork peacefully.(yes, PEACEFULLY.)

Believe it or not, one night, I tried listening to rock music because I couldn't sleep. Guess what? I slept halfway through "One Step Closer" by Linkin Park. I thought it was a coincidence, that I was finally too tired at that time and fell asleep. Then I tried it for a few times whenever my close friend, insomnia, comes to accompany me. It worked! It actually works! I fall asleep listening to rock music when I have problem sleeping! Listening to rock music makes me calm down my feelings at sometimes. That's the magic! I don't know why either. haha.

The very first rock band that I know was Linkin Park. Since my brother is a die-hard fan of theirs, I love most of their songs, which makes me a fan of theirs too. hehe. It's just amazing how rock songs can be. ♥

Music is a way for people to express what they feel or translate their message in their mind into music keynotes. Mucis makes people happy, makes people sad, makes people feel anxious, makes people feel scared. But now, the most important thing is, music links people together. As people say, No Music No Life :)
