Do you ever feel like your life is a Nickolodian TV show? With the upcoming "Spongebob Squarepants Musical" making its way to Broadway, who else would be a better example of the life of musical theatre students, than the chipper sponge himself!


1. Your first audition at school

2. Answering phone calls from friends and family


3. Getting attention from upperclassman when you're an underclassman


4. Playing a role older than yourself (even if it's only slightly older)


5. Getting that #BroadwayBody


6. Imagining your life after you graduate


7. The morning after a late night rehearsal/tech when you're trying to communicate with your Non-MT friends



8. Fulfilling your technical theatre requirements


9. Taking non-major classes


10. Laban


11. Watching your friends rehearse their scene to see how rehearsed you should be


12. When you have to ask the theatre office if there's available rehearsal space



13. Questionable sets


14. Not getting a role you thought you were perfect for


15. Finally getting a role


16. You think you did really well on a scene assignment, only to get your actual grade back


17. All of the drama (literally)


18. Defending your acting/singing choices to your professors


19. You forget you have a character analysis due


20. Dance requirements


21. Someone sings a questionable song


22. Nightmares about the "Freshman 15"


23. Thinking about the future


24. And the sarcasm


25. Your friend gives a beautiful performance

(hey Brooke Haney's acting 1)



26. Being told by other majors that you're too dramatic


27. Other majors think MT is lame


28. You've seen a lot of your classmates in their underwear


29. You talk about your major non-stop


30. But you do it, because you have the best major in the world, and you wouldn't change it for anything


(Thanks Derek and Liz for helping me come up with ideas)

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
