Dear Rentapal,
So whenever im by myself i just absolutely love singing. Everyone says im great bla bla bla. i also have played piano by ear since i was 4 and am in love with writing poetry. i think i could be really influential and a great artist/musician and im not trying to toot my own horn but im darn pretty too!!
im going to school for neuroscience and love it as well. but i love music and creative expression more than any other thing in the world. and singing brings me nothing but joy. What do you think i should do?
Julia
Dear Julia,
Maybe you don't have to choose just one or the other right now. How about continuing with both for a while? School/university schedules are usually on weekdays and performing opportunities are mostly on weekends and nights. If you get some momentum with your music you can follow it, but if not, you can still continue making music on the side and avoid becoming a starving musician.
Look at Brian May, guitarist from the 70s supergroup Queen. Brian was studying for a PhD in astrophysics while playing with Queen in his off-time. When Queen started to get popular, he took a temporary leave from his studies to see if the music thing might work out. Queen became one of the most successful bands in history, but Brian never lost his love of astrophysics. He returned to school after becoming a living legend, and finally finished his PhD over 30 years later!
Judging by your lack of grammar, and punctuation, you should pursue your musical dreams.
ReplyDeleteI mean, just cause you can't spell or punctuate, doesn't mean you're not smart. But on a computer with spell check, and the internet, you're just being lazy. College level courses have no room for laziness in them. Honestly you've probably just been coasting through your high school stuff by your looks alone. Teachers always help the pretty girls the most.
