If the world is truly a stage, then theater kids obviously need a fire summer playlist. From the catchy tunes
to emotional laments, this playlist will encompass your summer and give you plenty of humming material. Even the deepest closet show-tunes lover will enjoy this sweet summer line up. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!

1. "Summer Nights" from "Grease"

Some things are cliche for a reason. What a perfect tune for a carefree summer night.

2. "Out Tonight" from "Rent"

Sure, we have responsibilities and summer jobs. But without those pesky 8 a.m.'s, go channel your inner Mimi Marquez and dance your heart out!

3. "Too D**n Hot" from "Kiss Me Kate"

Let's be honest, who really wants to do yard work period, let alone when the temperature peaks? Sometimes it really is just too darn hot.


4. "Santa Fe" from "Newsies"

When you get FOMO from your friend's vacation snap stories and dream off your own far off place along with Jack.

5. "Revolting Children" from "Matilda"

Even if you love to learn, late night cramming sessions and term papers add up. Sometimes you just want to join Matilda's ranks and revolt.

6. "Our Last Summer" from "Mamma Mia!"

When you're going through old albums for the perfect #throwback and get nostalgic as heck.

7. "Into the Woods" from "Into the Woods"

What a great reminder to take advantage of the weather and venture outside. (I blame Netflix for my lack of a tan).

8. "Blame It on the Summer Night" from "Rags"

This jazzy number is great for those spontaneous 2 a.m. caffeine fueled nights with the old high school crew.

9. "A Summer in Ohio" from "The Last Five Years"

While I'm personally missing Ohio this summer, this one goes out to everyone stuck in a small town this summer yearning for more.

10. "Purple Summer" from "Spring Awakening"

Even in your darkest times, there's hope for a better day. Summer is the perfect metaphor for this sweet reprieve, as told by "Purple Summer".

11. "Opening/A Summer You'll Always Remember" from "Summer of '42"

If you're searching for the perfect college anthem, look no further, Broadway baby. True, this song isn't upbeat. But the themes of growing up, experiencing new things, and creating priceless memories throughout a glorious summer ring true for college students.

12. "Another Winter in a Summer Town" from "Grey Gardens: The Musical"

When summer is over and you just can't.

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.
