I am Paul and I am passionate about music and the benefits that music has on all of us. Whether or not we are passionate about it, it has an impact on us.  

I am researching this topic because I want to discover the positive effects that music has on college students and how it will impact my academics. I have been listening to music while I am studying for many years, and I have noticed that it helps me to concentrate. When I need to focus 100% on my current task, I will not have music playing. However, for other assignments, I will play music to better my concentration. This personally works for me, and may become distracting for others. This topic becomes relevant for college students since we are under the most stress of our lives, so far. As we are acclimating to adulthood, we need to find ways to cope with our new stress levels. It is common to find other students wearing headphones listening to music everywhere they go, so let’s explore the positive benefits.
