Theatre forever.

I'm a proud theatre kid, and I am not afraid to bust out in song. From "Hamilton" to "Aladdin," these musicals teach an important lesson.

1. "Hamilton"

Giphy

"Hamilton" offers knowledge about important events in American history while also being wildly entertaining with the well thought out score and writing.

2. "Wicked"

Giphy

"Wicked" strikes as a typical Good vs. Evil but I believe that most importantly, it teaches you to be yourself because there is nothing more important.

3. "Rent"

Giphy

Above anything, love is the most important thing and should not be discriminated against. We were all made to love and respect each other despite physical differences and other characteristics.

4. "Hairspray"

Giphy

While this musical is fun and makes you wanna dance, it also touches on the topic of racism during an incredibly crucial time and how we judge others. Everyone is equal and should be treated as such.

5. "Grease"

Giphy

I absolutely love the soundtrack of this musical and it teaches that maybe we shouldn't worry so much about what people think about us. As long as we're happy then that's what matters.

6. "West Side Story"

Giphy

Two feuding families are determined to tear two lovers apart but sometimes that will only encourage them more.

7. "Beauty And The Beast"

Giphy

This musical teaches us that looks can be deceiving and that we should focus on someone’s heart and soul versus their outward appearance.

8. "The Greatest Showman"

Giphy

While fame and fortune is rewarding, it isn’t everything. You can’t let yourself get caught up in it or else you’ll lose all of the people close to you.

9. "Aladdin" 

Giphy

"Aladdin" teaches us to not let greed take over or there will be consequences. Many of the characters were greedy is various ways, with money and power mostly.

10. "Mamma Mia!"

Giphy

It’s okay to be a single parent and more power to you! Most importantly, family comes before anything. They are the ones who will always be there for you no matter what.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
