A Thank You Letter To Musical Theatre Parents

Dear Musical Theatre Parents,

Thank you. Thank you for coming to all of my six shows, bringing me flowers, and writing me intermission notes. Thanks for cheering the loudest and always laughing at my joke in Act I, Scene III, like you hadn’t heard it a million times before. Thanks for putting up with my constant singing around the house and running lines with me until the early hours in the morning. Thanks for telling me no one noticed when an on-stage mishap occurred and gossiping about which of my fellow actors stole the show (besides me, of course, you said) and who under-delivered.

Thank you for being there for me during the much less glamorous stages of rehearsal and casting. Thank you for hugging me while I sobbed about not getting the callback for the part I wanted and holding my hand as I refreshed the page five thousand times to see if the cast list was up. Thanks for taking me out to dinner when I got my first lead and telling me no one was more deserving. Thanks for driving me to countless acting, singing and dancing lessons—even though I’m still doubtful that the dancing ones actually helped. Thank you for listening to me as I ate my 9 PM dinners and complained about cast members Suzy and John and cried about the six hours of homework I still had to do. And #GODBLESS you for letting me skip one day of school during Tech Week.

Thank you for serving Tech Week dinner with the other parents and never embarrassing me that much. Thank you for letting me play the entire soundtrack of “Wicked” over and over again when I know you would have much rather listened to NPR (PS Thanks for always singing G(a)linda’s part in “For Good,” even though your harmonies do need a bit of work).

Thank you for telling me to keep trying when I didn’t get the role I wanted, *gasp* didn’t get cast, made a mistake in rehearsal, or cracked on a high note. Thanks for making me the person I am today. You helped me learn how to get back up after failure and celebrate success. Thank you for everything.

Because I knew you, I have been changed for good.

Love,

Your Musical Theatre Kid

Ancient Roman Kings: 7 Leaders of Early Rome

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe. The period when kings ruled Rome could estimate at 245 years.

Love Lost

Being the girl that is falling for the boy is never easy.

You constantly text my phone telling me that you want to see me and hang out, even though we may not have sex we cuddle and that’s intimacy in its own. I’m tired of buying you food and being there for you like a girlfriend when you consistently tell me you aren't ready for a girlfriend. I am constantly feeling I’m getting slapped in the face because I’m doing all these things and getting nothing in return. Every day I feel myself liking you more which is just crazy because why would I even waste my time liking someone there isn’t a future with. I just want you to be honest with me and with yourself, tell me how you feel from your heart, stop just saying you aren’t ready. You are wasting time telling me you aren’t ready because while you are “getting ready” some guy somewhere else is telling me that he likes me and thinks I’m beautiful and wants to date me. I’m not asking for much, but I at least want exclusivity because you ask me for all these things but in return you give me nothing.

Pretty Little Liars

From reading the books in eighth grade to watching the television show all throughout high school, "Pretty Little Liars"basically defined my teenage existence. I was completely and totally obsessed on all accounts. However, even though I loved the fact that the books and the show are starkly different, there are simply just some ways in which the books are much better. Let's take a look:
