You are walking to fourth period with your friend–the hallways are bursting at the seams with students heading to class. You look around and realize that dozens of students have their earbuds in, and you begin to wonder, \u201cwhat are they listening to?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tT.C. Williams has a diverse population of students. Last year, it was recorded that there were 120 different native languages at the school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the varying cultural backgrounds, people listen to all kinds of music–anything from latin pop to indie rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some say playing music \u201cblocks out\u201d other people.  Senior Dennis Mendoza said, \u201c[Music] distracts you from the people around you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some students do not even listen to music when they have their earbuds in. Junior Jaedyn Little said, “[I wear earbuds even when music isn\u2019t playing]…so people don\u2019t talk to me.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only can music block out people and noise, but it is scientifically proven to influence your mood. Certain genres of music can help with stressful situations like walking down the crowded halls of T.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior Mo Williams said, \u201cMusic keeps me chill…It doesn\u2019t matter what\u2019s going on. It\u2019s something to keep you calm with all these students in the hall.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Williams was listening to \u201cRemind Her\u201d by Eric Bellinger ft. RJ, an R&B song featuring layered harmonies and a slow easy-going beat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sophomore Katherine Donnellan said, \u201cI like listening to music in the hall. I can pick out different notes, chords, and intonations just listening to them. I like to pay attention to those when I listen to songs, and I escape into a musical world.\u201d Donnellan was listening to \u201cEverybody\u2019s Got Something to Hide\u201d by the Beatles. She said dissecting the mechanics of songs is a good distraction when she is walking to class. \u201cIt also gives me an excuse not to talk to people,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Junior Dean Gleason said, \u201cI just don\u2019t like hearing people that talk at this school.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sophomore Daniela Meaurio was listening to \u201cNew Patek\u201d by Lil Uzi Vert while roaming the halls. She said, \u201cIt gives a background effect, and usually when I\u2019m talking to people I pause it, but when I\u2019m walking in the halls I just listen to it to block everything out.\u201d Meaurio\u2019s song of choice is currently sitting at 38 on the Billboard Hot 100. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
