Dear Professor

In the song “Dear Professor” by The Deans List, many points are made that I agree with. The song starts off with a portion from the Song “If I Die Young” by The Band Perry. Afterwards the rapping begins by The Deans List. I believe this song is talking about how great his life is and how he loves what he is doing. However there is always the factor that at anytime your life could be taken. He is living life the way he wants right now and not thinking about consequences or what might happen next. Throughout the song he states that he doesn’t want to die young but he can not control the future so if he does he will be ok with it. I believe we need to take this and learn from it. So many people live their lives today in fear of dying or what will happen the next day. We need to know that we can not control the future or what might happen to us in our lifetime. Being afraid of dying will not change anything. So why waste time and worry about our lives ending. We need to live life to the fullest, so if we do end up dying we will have no regrets. No one knows what happens when we die but I basically know what will happen while I am alive. We should not be scared of death but just look at it as another great adventure to persevere through.

This song is called “Opposite of Adults” by Chiddy Bang. I really enjoy this song because of the tune and also the meaning of the lyrics. It really has a meaning within it that many people today should listen too and take what it is saying to heart.

Throughout the song Chiddy Bang talks about the past and how they used to be kids. I believe that they are trying to show that people need to realize that at one time in their life they were kids too and should not be so stuck up and adult like today.  It is a good thing to be mature, but at times we need to loosen up and act like a kid again. Society today forces us to grow up quick and we are supposed to take everything seriously and not have any fun. The laws and rules have become stricter over the years and are continuing to grow and limit the fun we can have. We all need to relax and have fun while we still can. I guess it’s kind of the whole Carpe Diem theme but we need to embrace that we won’t be young forever so let’s act stupid while we still can. I think many people can learn from this and realize that every now and then we should be kids again and reminisce about our younger days. Being a kid was the easiest and best days of our lives. With no worries and no responsibility it was a great time. We need to act like kids again and not be so tied up and stressed out.
