As a theatre major, it is important to understand the foundation and basis of art. With this being said, we must start at the beginning. Well, close to the beginning. If you have ever read Greek literature and philosophy before, you know one thing: it is not easy. It takes time and thought to analyze something that may read life Gibberish. Here are my thoughts.

Day One: What. The. Heck. Is. This. Why is this even a thing? Who understands this?

Reading it over and over and over again.

I can do this. Yes I can.

Okay some of this makes sense.

Hours and pages of notes later, leaves the rest for later.


Day Two:

Continuing on.

I think I can, I think I can.

Okay, imitation is the game here. Everything is about imitation.

EVERYTHING is about imitation.

Oh and action.

Nope, just imitating action, my bad.

Okay, and I am back to confused.



Day Three:

Girl, this is due soon, you have to finish.



Day Four:

You were in AP, this is NOTHING.

Nope. I am wrong.

I am not smart.

I cannot even read.


Day Five:


Okay, you just have to finish.

You are so close!!

He is basically just restating everything.

I think.

Yup, imitation, action, plot, characters, point of view, harmony and rhythm, comedy, tragedy, Epic, conversation, diction, embellishments, spectacle, song, proper structure, unity, universal, episodic, simple, complex, reversal, recognition, exude, parody, the perfect tragedy, memory, complication, unraveling, cause and effect, letter, syllables, connecting words, nouns, verbs, inflection, sentence, phrases, double compound, strange words, newly, jargon, periods, faults, breathing, punctuation, metaphors, Greek catharsis, propriety, consistency, sight, senses, feeling, beginning, middle, end, irrational, turning point, skillful handling, comparison, feminine vowels, current proper words, distinction, style, justification, unrefined, probability, pity and fear, single in issue, confirming principles, specific magnitude, centering around one plot, etc, etc, etc..... AND IMITATION again. That's it.

And a little bit more.


All in all, Aristotle is complicated. It is difficult to comprehend and analyze what he truly meant and how it still applies today to the arts. In all seriousness, I may joke a lot, but this truly is important and I am thankful for the amount of diligence it took and implemented in me.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
