There's A Whole World Of Theatre You Haven't Even Discovered

There is a whole channel of theatre on YouTube many have not even heard of. Lately, the art of parody theatre has become more popular, especially with the Off-Broadway production of Puffs!, a musical about Hufflepuffs from Harry Potter, since they do not get as much love as the other houses often.

Believe it or not, this is not the first Harry Potter parody to become popular. Team Starkid, a YouTube channel that has been around for years, started A Very Potter Musical 9 years ago, and since, there have been two more Harry Potter parodies, a version of Aladdin from Jafar's perspective, a Batman parody, a musical about cavemen, and a whole lot of other really cool concepts. Each musical is approximately 2 hours long, and with almost a decade of content, there is plenty to watch! As well, it is all original content, so you'll have a whole new set of show tunes to get obsessed with.

Here's the link to their channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/StarKidPotter/videos

As well, if you have not heard of Todrick Hall, you're in for a delight.

I've been obsessed with Todrick for a while now, mostly for his covers and parodies, from a 90s medley to a Beauty and the Beast with only Britney Spears songs. He has so much content that you'll be busy for a while, especially if you go into his full-length visual albums, Straight Outta Oz and Forbidden. The first is more of Hall's personal story with Wizard of Oz themed songs and a super pretty album with awesome costumes and even some special guests!

Forbidden is much more of a social commentary piece, and it flips social stereotypes between races and gender. For instance, a White boy is shot in a Black neighborhood for looking suspicious and gay couples are the norm for the town. I am not as big of a fan of this album, but it does have much less of a musical theatre vibe than Straight Outta Oz.

If nothing else, you can see Todrick's vlogs about being over in London in the West End production of Chicago. He is best friends with Taylor Swift, and it is adorable.

Additionally, there are so many full-length musical movies and full length bootlegged shows. I have watched many a thing at 2am when I am bored, and YouTube is fantastic for people getting creative with the titles of their videos.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
