14 Musicals You Need To See Before You Die
Broadway Box

If there's one thing I love almost as much as I love books, it would be musical theatre. There are so many reasons I could name for why I love the theatre, but the main one is that it allowed me to come out of my comfort zone when going through school, and for giving me lifelong lessons and friends. Whether you have this same love of the art of theatre or not, these are 14 musicals you need to see before you die.

1. Les Miserables

Here's the thing about equality, everyone's equal when they're dead.

2. The Phantom of the Opera

Love this musical, that's all I ask of you.

3. Cabaret

You can fall in love with Cabaret, but don't tell mama what you know.

4. Mamma Mia

You'll be the winner taking it all when you let this show bless your life.

5. Hamilton

Don't throw away your shot, be in the room where it happens.

6. Rent

Who died? My soul when I finally watched this musical.

7. Grease

We're all hopelessly devoted to this musical.

8. The Color Purple

I'm here for this musical.

9. Sweeny Todd

We all deserve to die over this musical, even you.

10. West Side Story

This one you'll remember till they cart you away, from your first cigarette, to your last dying day.

11. Guys and Dolls

This isn't just for some doll, everyone should know and love this show.

12. Cats

Once you're alone with your memory of this musical, you'll know what happiness is.

13. Wicked

Because I know this show, I have been changed for good.

14. Anything Goes

This one is easy to love, so you're in for something delightful and de-lovely.

These are just a few of the musicals I have come to know and love over the course of my life. If you didn't pick up on the puns included in this post, you should probably brush up on your knowledge of musical theatre. My love for this art will never die (another pun), which is why I think everyone should add seeing these shows to their bucket lists.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
