15 Signs You Were In The Red Bank Regional VPA

I have to give love where it is deserved.

15 Signs You Were In The Red Bank Regional VPA
Katelyn Johnson

I'm just trying to give a big shout out to my fellow VPA Bucs in the wonderful Buc Nation we have. I hated a lot of things about this school, but this was definitely not one of them. Sending love to all my fellow drama majors and everyone else!


1. Sports are an ongoing joke that will really never die.

What is a sport ball? Goal? How does this even work? Why was the football team good that one time? Idk.

2. Finding out the shows for the year is always the most exciting and disappointing part.

Shakespeare? PLEASE? JUST ONE.

3. You have the label and you are just way too proud of it.

Heck yeah I was a drama major and you know darn well I'm proud of it. I may not have done much with actually acting, but that's not the point here. You bet that walking in the theater was my favorite time of the day.

4. You become SO overprotective of your fellow majors.

Especially when a teacher has a little something to say to one of you classmates. We always have a little attitude to go with it.

5. Walking around in a costume became way too normal.

The amount of times I would walk around in a silky robe was actually disturbing.

6. There will always be someone that is salty about the cast list.

Even when it's 3 years later...

7. You are more likely than not going to experience a friend group incest situation.

Why. Just why. It's never good. Literally ALWAYS a mess.

8. One song lyric will most likely break an entire room into song and dance.

Get out your tap shoes, Francis!

9. You will work backstage at least one show and that will be your downfall.

The rope burns from opening and closing the curtain may fade, but the memories will forever be with me.

10. Same goes for props.

Need I say more. This was the worst. I didn't even do much. Sorry about that.

11. The comfort of walking into your VPA classroom was similar to going into your bed.

The weight of the day is quickly taken off your shoulders when you walk into the room. Also, the amount of times I have taken off an article of clothing in the theater is concerning.

12. This was literally your face when any teacher told you to go eat in the cafeteria.

"Go be with the rest of the student body!!!!" No thank you.

13. There is nothing better than walking around school with some form of promotion for your show.

Whether it's paint on your shirt, a poster, or just hearing it over the announcements, it is always the best time when a show gets promoted around the school. The teachers could also tell that it was show time when you were practically unresponsive in class and they would force you to go to the theater and sleep.

14. You remember the warm ups so quickly.

DON'T TOUCH THAT, THAT'S MINE!

15. The amount of love and support for one another does not end when you receive your diploma.

I am so proud of all my fellow drama majors and everyone else that I was lucky to surround myself with during my four years at RBR. It was a fantastic ride because of all of you. Thank you.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
