Oh, high school...so many memories. Some good and some bad. But if you're anything like me, those memories predominately center around theater. From auditions to after school dress rehearsals, about 75 percent of your best memories come from being on that stage. Here are some ways you know you did high school theater.

1. You still know all the warm ups used before rehearsals

Most of the time they were "distinctly hard to say, yet harder still to do." Also, you never got over the fact that "Mama made me mash my M&M's."

2. You have so many theater-related clothes.

Definitely at least character shoes in nude and in black, not to mention all of the random costume pieces you have that you can't seem to make yourself get rid of. Oh, and of course ALL THE CAST T-SHIRTS.

3. Nothing in your life will make you more nervous than waiting for the cast list to be posted.


Except for maybe the walk up to the cast list.

4. You still reach for the lemon tea and add honey when your throat hurts.

Or better yet, you drink some throat coat because you're basically addicted to that stuff.

5. You start bursting out in show tunes or quotes WAY too often.

"Hey! Don't forget-"

"About the boy...Forget about the boy...Forget about the boy!"

"Umm...no...to do that psychology essay..."

6. You definitely know how many minutes are in a year.

It's 525,600 minutes, just in case you didn't know.

7. Two words: Hell -- I mean, Tech Week

Well, at least now you are definitely prepared to handle stress I guess?

8. Most of your best friends are people you met while performing in a musical.

With all of the emotions, late rehearsals and inside jokes, how could you not all come out best friends?

9. You've had to utter the phrase "I can't, I have rehearsal" so many times you probably have this shirt.

Or at least seriously considered getting it.

10. Anytime anyone says "It's in 5 minutes" you respond "Thank you 5!"

And then have to explain away the subsequent stares.

11. You still belt out show tunes when you're home alone or driving in your car

Hey, don't judge us -- we miss it!

8. You miss theater with every fiber of your being.

Sure, you could do community theatre...and you will...but it's just not the same. You miss all of those high school productions...and you would not have traded it for the world.

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.
