Musicals IRL
The following is a description of a regular day in my life narrated as a musical for the sole purpose of appreciating all that is good.
For all we know, having to wake up at 7:30 a.m. for class is a task appointed to us by the devil himself. However, this being a musical, there is no ordeal that can't be handled with a smile on our faces. I would personally wake up with 'Houdini' by Foster the People as my opening act—firstly because I get to choose my own soundtrack and secondly because I just love it so much. Chanting "focus on your ability" over and over I'd dance over to my car and brace myself for the following one-hour joyride—which if I were in any other city by the way, would've taken me about 15 minutes but that's okay right? Of course it is (smiley face).
The one-hour joyride would obviously turn into a carpool session on steroids, with the surrounding crowd of people you never met before, joining in a dance number that they would all automatically know the steps to, that too, in the middle of the road in perfect harmony. For this number I shall choose a crowd favourite: Despacito. Needless to say, someone would overhear the infamous instrumental intro playing in a neighbouring car and break into dance moves with others eagerly joining in. Moreover, this song would perfectly relate to the people's cluelessness as to why the traffic is taking so long with most of their inability to interpret a single lyric of the catchy tune.
Moving on, upon finally reaching my university, I'd have to deal with the incoming plethora of classes and by the time I'm done with half of them, the existential crisis would hit me and the scene would shift to me singing a rendition of Gary Jules' 'Mad World'. This would be accompanied with the contemplation of how oblivious we all are about our life goals and looking around I'd come to the conclusion that many others felt the same way. To top it all off, the 'what ifs' would take over, drowning me in a pool of endless possibilities that could've been and leave me in this torturous cycle of oblivion. This would conveniently check off the "depressing turn of events" intermission part of the musical.
As the next half of the day will be dedicated to fixing the aforementioned melancholy mood, class would end by then and it'd be time to go out for lunch or just hangout with friends. As writing this musical also allows me to be the scene-setter, I would choose a nice rooftop chill with friends by the sunset. 'Beautiful Day' by U2, coupled with a sense of appreciation for everything and everyone we've been gifted with shall pose as the perfect components of this feel-good scene. Sitting together under the breathtaking sky, those frequent outbursts of laughter and smiles on everyone's faces will dig up their places, as memories in our hearts forever. As a result, gratefulness shall be the ambiance we all get to go home with.
