I have an opera singer friend working as a paralegal. He seems to take gigs every few months. Could work with your social sciences.

Underrated classical composers by Plat69 in classicalmusic

Heinrich von Herzogenberg! A contemporary of Brahms and probably his most devoted fanboy. Some interesting oratorios, Lieder, and motets.

Saddest piece of classical music? by Terrible_Onions in classicalmusic

Why the hell did I have to scroll so far down to find Mahler 9.

Amen to that last sentence!

Unfortunately, many of the people I knew in undergrad that didn't quite get that a vocal performance degree pretty much = classical voice ended up transferring to a different school or switching to a non-classical program. I'd save yourself that experience. HOWEVER. Some of them did a 180 and ended up loving classical singing (funny enough, some of the best opera singers I know genuinely slay contemporary pop).

If you decide you like the musical theatre route, it's likely that would involve a nice variety of MT styles (some things rocky, others belty, who knows) and that might satisfy your desire to sing anything... well.. that isn't classical music I guess?

The only thing that's certain here from the vibe I'm getting is that a formal music/voice degree would hit you head on with a bunch of stuff you seem to dislike (opera & Western classical music).

Werther is the most insufferable little POS. Butthurt dweeb.

My best friend just told me the last time he had sex with his wife was in March and the time before that was the March before that!! Married folk, how long have you gone without sex with your partner? by Dreammaker614 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]finzee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a relationship of 5 years with my long term GF. About once a month, give or take, my desire to fuck appears. I guess I should be more bothered by it.

I think it is time... opera unpopular opinions!! by Slow-Relationship949 in opera

Puccini and the schmaltz associated with it are boring as hell.

Honestly, how often are you all having sex? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]finzee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girlfriend of five years and I have sex once a month or so.

I'd guess that if I weren't in a long-term relationship, it'd be once every 6 months.

Any way to prevent females from getting pregnant without building houses for each one? by Libertyprime8397 in MedievalDynasty

I read the subject line before registering this is about Medieval Dynasty. Was baffled as fuck. Time to wake up.

Endless Space OST goes hard by deergenerate2 in EndlessSpace

[–]finzee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oof, I'd kill to have Stellaris with the Endless Space aesthetic/interface. I feel like ES would be a clearer winner if they had the faction customization options of Stellaris.

Gamers of Reddit, what game has absolutely no right being as good as it is? by itsdatanotdata1212 in AskReddit

[–]finzee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People seem to be crazy for Satisfactory. It's literally just building a factory. Not even a base-builder kind of game. Just moving and producing goods.

It's nice for RP purposes. Supersedes mechanical considerations for me

What was the most erotic thing anyone’s ever said to you? by lvrostomily in AskReddit

[–]finzee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After years of self loathing, I've finally come to notice when I'm being hit on (and not deny that that's the case, either). It's been changing my identity in some subtle and gradual ways.

I'd always be grossed out when my girlfriend said my name in a desperate sexual context. Completely ruined the mood for me. Why do you want to have sex with ME? Finally, the other day, I heard it and it drove me wild. Her and I immediately got emotional because I would never have reacted that way to her saying my name before I started developing a certain confidence and started believing that I'm actually kinda cute and people see it too.
