10 Broadway Cast Recordings To Get You Through Finals

As finals week is approaching, I know the only thing that gets me through studying are Broadway Cast recordings. Here is a list that I feel gets you in the mood to study with a breeze!

1. "Hamilton"

This first one goes without explanation due to high energy and being filled with history of our country. Perfect for any class studies but especially those history classes!

2. "RENT"

"Rent" is a monumental show in musical theatre history but it is also very uplifting. It is especially uplifting for college students since the characters are around our age or older.

3. "Wicked"

"Wicked" has a score that always gets my day started. There are some songs that really help with studying and really brighten up everyone's day!

4. "Spring Awakening"

"Spring Awakening" is filled with rock anthems that just can't help but make you sing along. The songs have great melodies that do get stuck in your head, but still a great score to listen to as you are going through your semester notes.

5. "In The Heights"

Lin-Manuel Miranda's first show is just as good as his current one. The score is electrifying and it is usually my go to when getting ready for both finals and every day.

6. "Heathers"

"Heathers" is so much fun and is definitely one of the best scores to listen to in general, but every single song is so upbeat and gets you ready for those grueling finals that you would have to deal with.

7. "Hairspray"

Another fun musical that takes place in a school and with very catchy tunes. It is super popular which makes it easy to get into while studying.

8. "Legally Blonde"

College sororities and catchy tunes. To me, this is the perfect cast recording to get you in the mood to study, because if Elle Woods can go to law school, so can you!

9. "Matilda"

This score is absolutely beautiful and hearing little kids about growing up and having huge hopes and dreams really inspires me to finish college and accomplish my hopes and dreams.

10. "American Psycho"

Photo from iTunes

This cast recording is new and fun. The score includes fun 80s hits and is super techno. I personally loved it and the cast recording is something I listen to a lot to get me ready to study.

Good luck to everyone studying for finals and hope these cast recordings help with those long nights! All of the cast recordings can be found on Spotify and iTunes!

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.

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.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

A bad day at the lake is still better than a good day not at the lake.

You know the best beaches and coves to go to.

You have no patience for the guy who can't back his trailer into the water right.

The cooler is always packed, mostly with beer.

Giving the idiot who goes 30 in a "No Wake Zone" a piece of your mind.

You have no problem with peeing in the water.

You know the frustration of getting your anchor stuck.

Watching in awe at the bigger, better boats that pass by.

Knowing any swimsuit that you own with white in it is best left for the pool or the ocean.

The momentary fear for your life as you get launched from the tube.

You're able to go to the restaurants by the water wearing minimal clothing.

Having unexpected problems with your boat.

Having a name for your boat unique to you and your life.

There's no better place you'd rather be in the summer.
