At the Top of My Lungs


I love to sing at the top of my lungs. When I’m stressed or tired, that’s what I tend to do. This doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m good at singing at all; however, my friend who’s a vocal major did say that I have a pretty voice—…but come to think of it, I guess best friends are entitled to say nice things like that, aren’t they? Anyways, I just really, really love to sing with all my heart; because it cheers me up so, thus, I thought I’d blog about it! I apologize now for being overdramatic and passionate about this, but does anyone else feel this way? That when you’re having a bad day or overwhelmed with stress, singing out loud and pouring your soul out into a song you love helps release a lot of bottled up feelings and ‘ickyness,’ Well, at least that’s how I felt today. As I conjure up this blog post of mine, I am currently sitting in a Toyota four-runner with three of my best friends, road tripping to San Diego, California. And what’s the best part about road trips other than the whole getting away from school for the long weekend part? Yes, jamming and singing at the ‘top of our lungs’ to our all time favorite songs. From Katy Perry to Sara Bareilles, to Disney and then over to musicals, such as Wicked, we covered it all—at the top of our lungs. Cheers to the long weekend! Oh, and of course, Happy President's Day to all you Americans!

  1. I love to sing out loud… especially to the radio, windows down, and nobody around on the highway. I will agree that in the shower or alone, it does relieve a lot of stress.

  2. So I have this roommate who does this in the shower--people home or not. He serenades us with classics such as "Frosty the Snowman" (yes, even in February) and "Buddy Holly." While amusing at times, it is quite awkward when you have people over...

  3. I love singing at the top of my lungs... but unfortunately I'm not the best singer in the world. My solution is to blast the radio so loung that no matter how loud I'm singing, the radio still drowns me out.

  4. My roommates are always shocked whenever I start to sing... But I sing whenever I'm stressed or trying to memorize something.
