What Are You Deaf? Turn that Music Down!

Seriously, the music is too damn loud. When people are in their dorm rooms, why do some feel the need to turn the volume up on their stereo? You’re in a confined space, so why not put your music on a volume that you can hear comfortably rather than a concert hall? You’re probably not deaf, but you’re doing to be if you keep turning your music up. It’s such a bother at times. Some days you’ll hear a really good tune that is ok to bear while doing your homework. Then there’s just some horrible playlist of songs that you just refuse to listen to. So why is the volume up, really?

I hope it’s not because you want to be obnoxious or anything. Even if you’re not trying to be, you are. If you’re partying hard with a bunch of friends busting out some music, then that’s cool. If you’re alone in your room and decide to just turn up the volume for no reason, then you got to chill with that. People take power naps, sleep early, or study for tests and stuff. Sure, that’s what “quiet hours” are for. Except if you want to be a jerk and blast music during quiet hours any way, then there’s a problem. You might as well just lose your hearing in the process or something. Keep it down.
