One of the most popular musicals on Broadway right now is "Anastasia," an adaptation of the 1997 20th Century Fox animated movie. Here's how the show deviates from the film.

1. Anya is aged up

2. A Different Villain

Both Gleb and Dimitri fall in love with Anya.

3. Sophie is now Lily

This character is a former countess and currently the Dowager Empress lady in waiting. Her movie counterpart is plumper and named Sophie while in the musical she's skinnier and named Lily.

4. The songs are placed at different times

"Journey to the Past," for example, takes place as Anya is on her way to St. Petersburg in the movie. In the musical, she sings it just before she, Dimitri, and Vlad enter Paris.

5. The story of how Anastasia and Dimitri first met

In the film, 10 year-old Dimitri helped 8 year-old Anastasia and her grandmother the palace siege through a hidden passageway. The age that they met remained the same for the musical, only Anastasia spotted him in a crowd while taking part in a parade.

6. There are new songs

For instance, "We'll Go From There," which elaborates on Vlad, Anya, and Dimitri's thoughts on their (totally illegal) train ride out of Communist Russia to Paris.

7. The costumes

Rather than her iconic pink-and- yellow dress from the movie, Anastasia wears this ornate red one at the end of the musical. The pink-and-yellow dress was given to her teen self and the other three Romanov sisters in the prologue.

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.

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.
