28 Thoughts A Theatre Nerd Has At A Basketball Game

I am a self-proclaimed theatre nerd with zero athletic talent. I recently went to a men’s basketball game. While there, I realized I know next to nothing about sports. In between asking probably a thousand questions about how basketball works, these are some of thoughts I had in my show-tune-singing head.

1. Oh, my gosh, they’re so tall.

No wonder they chose this sport.

2. Love their costumes. So sporty spice.

3. Wow, they’re also so attractive.

Why have I never watched sports before?The hot people all flock to the court.

4. Why do they all use those Gatorade water bottles?

Are regular water bottles not good enough?

5. I hope they use those rip-off sweat pants.

I want a pair for Christmas.They’re good enough for Magic Mike, they should be good enough for this team.

6. Wow -- this is exactly like “High School Musical.”

7. When will they break out into song?

8. GETCHYA GETCHYA HEAD IN THE GAME.

9. Yay! They scored a basket, woooooooo!

Oops -- that was the other team. Awkward.

10. I guess this is fun.

11. I’m just watching them run back and forth.

Everyone is clapping and I’m so confused.

12. I want to be a referee.

With great whistles, comes great responsibility.

13. And black and white is such a classy combo.

But that seems to involve a lot of running. And I only run when I’m being chased.

14. Yes! Halfway done! Intermission time...

Halftime. That’s totally what I meant.

15. Wow, those cheerleaders are surprisingly strong.

I could definitely never throw a human in the air.Look how high she just flew!

16. Those hurkies, though.

And I can’t even touch my toes.I need to get back to the gym.

17. Half time’s over.

Back to running around.

18. Where’d they come from?

19. Do you think they’d let me see backstage?

It’s called a locker room. Of course.

20. Why are there people in suits?

A little formal for sports. But, I guess coaches are important.

21. This is a long game.

22. OK, now I’m into it.

23. Four seconds left.

I’ve never been so nervous.

24. Score. They won.

25. Why is everyone saying we won?

26. You watched the game, you didn’t help them.

27. That was surprisingly fun.

28. I still like Broadway better.

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.
