Why "Julie's Greenroom" will be so Important
Netflix

Earlier this year, it was announced that the legendary Julie Andrews is returning to the screen with her children’s program on Netflix, “Julie’s Greenroom.”

In this show, the kids are learning more than their ABC’s and 123’s. Instead, toddlers will learn how to control their voices when singing, how to have an idea for a story, and even how to design lighting for a musical. Yes, “Julie’s Greenroom” is all about the visual and performing arts, which is a rare focus in pre-school children’s television.

Each thirteen episodes will include a different type of art: Acting, singing, dancing, creative writing, design for theatre, and more. Julie’s “Sesame Street”-like students will be mentored on a special topic by special guest stars, including Idina Menzel, Sara Bareilles, Chris Colfer, and David Hyde Pierces.

This show has a huge meaning because this will introduce small ones to the performing arts. It is common for kids doing acting and dancing when they’re little. But, by watching this show, the little artists would learn more about their passion. Similarly, before watching “Julie’s Greenroom,” a lot of the kids watching the show aren’t in the performing arts. So, they will be introduced to the arts and could be interested in them.

Most importantly, this show will have little kids know that the performing arts are important. In every pre-school show, they highlight the careers of being a teacher, doctor, police officer, astronaut etc. These careers are very important, which is why kids’ shows show them off. By displaying careers in performing arts, kids will know that these careers must be important. Because of the positive encouraging from celebrities and the exposure of the arts, kids will grow up with the arts and some of them will be celebrities, famous writers & designers, you name it!

Another gigantic factor is the fantastic diversity in this show. Three of the five of the puppets, who were featured in the trailer, are a minority. The dancer is Asian while the writer & the actor are both African American. The singer is happily the rare disabled child by being in a wheelchair. Furthermore, Giullian Yao Gioiello, the actor who will plays Gus the circus performer, is Asian.

Throughout my life, I’ve been a creative person. Ever since I was three or four, I have been writing stories. Now, years later, I’m a playwright/screenwriter, along with being an actress and singer. This is the show I needed as a kid. It had a disabled character just like me, which I would have love. But most importantly, it would have encouraged my writing and I picture myself writing a lot more as a kid with a show like this. But, the good news is I have a lot of little cousins and I’m thrilled that if they watch this, they’ll be exposed to the arts and might grow up as artists themselves.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
