Hum These Tunes from New Master’s Degree Holder Garth Brooks
We love it when celebrities advance in their education, such as country star Garth Brooks, who earned his master’s degree this year from Oklahoma State University. (And we checked – it wasn’t his old rock alter ego Chris Gaines who earned the degree).
In honor of Brooks – the No. 1 selling solo artist in U.S. history – we had fun taking a look back at some of his famous song titles and connecting them to the life of students in school.
“Ain’t Goin’ Down (‘Til the Sun Comes Up)”: Those nonstop study sessions or remaining hours until a project or paper is due might have you staying up all night to make the grade.
“Friends in Low Places”: You may need to be the one to encourage your classmates, if they get down about the amount of work needed to complete their degree or if they don’t perform as well as they wanted to on an exam.
“If Tomorrow Never Comes”: Sure this is intended to be a love song, but you may feel overwhelmed by so many exams, like tomorrow will never come. But don’t be discouraged. You’ll get there!
“Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old)”: If you’re in a class with younger students, or “tougher broncs,” as Garth says, you may start out the semester feeling your age. But recognize that your life experience can be a plus in school, and you have learned what it takes over the years to persist and be successful.
