The words "the cast list is up" are enough to make your stomach drop.

If your best friend is an actor, you'll instantly recognize these 10 facts and scenarios.

1. At least half of their car karaoke songs are straight from a broadway soundtrack.

You might pester them about it, but to be honest you love these songs too!

2. Casual improv games are the best way to fill up your free time.

"Yes, and..." is and always will be your motto, in improv and in life.

3. You're both on your toes during auditions and callback week.

Even if you aren't the one auditioning, you won't be able to relax until the cast list goes up.

4. There isn't much you wouldn't miss to see their show opening night.

I even spent my 18th birthday watching my best friend perform in a musical when it happened to fall on opening night.

5. You love hearing gossip about what goes on backstage.

You know everyone's inside jokes and who likes who even if you haven't stepped foot backstage.

6. You know all about their cast's pre-show rituals.

These can get weird, but it's not like theatre is a cult, right?

7. You rehearse lines together as often as other friends get coffee together.

And there's nothing wrong with a little positive criticism.

8. You understand that getting cut from a show low-key feels like they're being dumped by their director.

But that probably won't stop them from dragging you to the show anyway.

9. With every cast list comes your "better" recasted version.

"You deserved that role way more than she did!"

10. Whether they're cast into the ensemble or as the lead, they'll always be good enough for broadway in your eyes.

They should never stop doing what they love.

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.
