12 Things Theater People Can All Understand
Princeton Festival

1. "Theater" or "Theatre"

You have a very strong opinion on the spelling of this word.

2. Playbills

If someone says, "I'll show you my playbill collection." You'll be sitting there for a while.

3. New Families

Whenever you join a new cast you join a new family, and even if you guys drift apart after the show is over, you will always keep a place in your heart for those people and that show.

4. Public Mention

If you hear something about theater, music or anything close to the subject, your attitude becomes increasingly better.

5. You actually know a lot about history

Because of musicals you have a great understanding of ancient Egypt, a newsboy strike, the forming of the U.S and constitution, 3 wars and the civil rights movement.

6. Old Show DVD's

When you watch your old shows, which isn't often, you can still name what night it was filmed and where you entered for every scene.

7. It's hard to listen to Sweeney Todd (or any other musical cast album) on the bus

*frantically sweats*

8. Tea... you drink a lot of it

If you like it--there isn't a problem. If you don't like it, you're screwed.

9. Bootleg Videos

You have a very strong opinion on them. Love them or hate them, there is no in between.

10. Tech week

When your teacher hands you homework on the first day of tech, you can't help but silently pray for it to be over. Have fun living in sweat pants all week.

11.Your musical library doesn't resemble most of your friends'

12. I think we all can agree we get TOO excited about the Tony Awards

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
