Nine Albums That Need To Be Musicals

Have you ever listened to an album by your favorite artist and though, "Hmm, this would be an amazing musical!" No? Well I have and here are my top choices for albums that need to be made into musicals.


1. 25 by Adele

Adele is a beautiful soul and each of her songs has such a deep meaning that is necessary for a musical. If I were to decide how this one would go I would have it be an older woman looking back on all of her past loves and each song or two is associated with one past love.


2. Lemonade by Beyoncé

Beyoncé is just a pure boss and I feel like any musical incorporating her music would be good no matter what the plot line.


3. 'Electra Heart by Marina and the Diamonds

This musical would be upbeat and electric feeling. The biggest song of the show would be "How to be a Heartbreaker", where the main character will be taught how to trick the guy who has been ignoring her her whole life. How the rest of the show would go, I have no clue.


4. Know-It-All by Alessia Cara

This show would almost be a "Rent" of our generation, even though "Rent" is the "Rent" of our generation. But I digress. Alessia's music has such a powerful message behind so many of her songs that a musical using her songs would probably need just as powerful of a message.


5. One of the Boys by Katy Perry

I just really love Katy Perry and I think a musical based off of this album and a mixture of her others would be amazing and fun and free-wheeling and just pure awesomeness.


6. Badlands by Halsey

This show would be the story of four different peoples lives, two men and two women. They would tell their stories through word and song while other actors act out the scenes, almost like a narrator standing to the side of the stage.


7. Death of a Bachelor by Panic! at the Disco

Brendon Urie has always said he is theatrical in his music writing and I think if he worked hard enough he could write a badass musical that is nothing like you have ever seen before.


8. The Boy Who Knew Too Much by MIKA

MIKA has such theatrical music that to make a musical out of his album(s) would be stupid. He has such upbeat and happy music with just the right amount of slow music that a musical based off of his work would be spectacular.


9. Hello My Name Is... by Bridgit Mendler

The plot of this musical would be about a couple (gender and sexuality not important) and how their relationship flourished over four seasons different seasons within one year.


Do you have any albums you would want to see be turned into a musical or think could make a good musical? Let me know!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
