Thoughts Before A Performance

1. Wow I Don't Know Any Of My Lines

I literally don't know any of my lines like and the show is this Wednesday. I need an adult.

2. If I Don't Die From Nerves This Quick Change Will Kill Me


One of the most terrifying things to do in theatre is changing outfits between scenes, I can barely get ready for a school day in under 10 minutes, let alone changing full clothes in under 10 seconds.

3. We Haven't Figured Out Any Props Yet


As I'm writing this article there is a total of three days before the show and we haven't figured out any props yet, and that's A LITTLE BIT of an issue.

4. How Are We Gonna Get People To Come


I barely even want to go to rehearsal, and no one is advertising so I don't know who's gonna show up.

5. What Does This Show Even Mean


There's a little bit of backstory that is only really known to the actors that's low-key crucial to understanding what the show means. The dialogue is well written, its' just that even I'm confused so I don't know how the audience will take it.

6. How Am I Supposed Juggle Everything


How am I supposed to get 8 hours of sleep, memorize my lines, eat a balanced meal, go to rehearsals, do my homework, and go to class??? let me know.

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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
