Six Reasons Why You Should Be Friends With The Theatre Kid

We are more useful than you think

Six Reasons Why You Should Be Friends With The Theatre Kid
Bridgewater College

People of the theatre are often not given the credit that they deserve. There is a stiff stereotype that actors have little more in their heads than visions of movie screens and "Les Miserables" on loop. However, we have so many hidden talents that the public is sometimes not aware of. All of these specialties can make an actor a very useful friend or significant other.

1.) We can build stuff!
Did you think that those elaborate sets made themselves? Trust me, if we can build a raked stage, we can fix the average household construction issue.

2.) We know a good bit about design!
No, we cannot all sew or create a backdrop, but experience has forced at least a bit of style and design into our minds. We can help you match your outfits AND your paints.

3.) We are generally friendly!
It sort of comes with the territory. Being friendly just makes working so closely with others easier. And hey, even if we aren't friendly, we are actors so we can pretend really well!

4.) We will MAKE it work!
The phrase, "the show must go on" is not wasted on us. Improvisation is our specialty so naturally we can work with what we are given, even in real life. Side note: Don't underestimate our ability to create things and fix mechanical issues with bobby pins, gaffers tape, and hairspray. We deal in that sort of stuff.

5.) We are entertaining!
Whether it be musical theatre, acting, dance, or a combination, we can entertain a room. That's like, our thing, you know?

6.) We have all kinds of practice on expressing emotions.
Want sensitive? Sultry? Happy? Loving? Excited? Anything? We got you, bro.

So next time you are looking for some company, consider an actor. We can guarantee you a good time.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
