You Know You're A Musical Theatre Nerd When...
The Odyssey Online

I did musical theater all my life. Between sports, and drama my life as a high schooler (which was a long time ago) was completely full. Lately, I've been wanting to get back into musical theater, or at least have been feeling a bit nostalgic. And as if my Hamilton In Real Life article didn't show how theater is so intertwined in my life, this will. You know you're a musical theater nerd when...

1. You've seen Broadway shows, but the ones you missed in-between your trips to New York, you've watched bootleg copies of on YouTube.


2. Anytime you see two people wearing pink and green you think about "Popular" and Wicked. Don't Make Me Laugh!


3. "I'm looking for a song to sing"....that fits this e-card. But seriously.....


4. The Tony's are one of the best days of the year, and winning a Tony would equate to winning the lottery for any actor. "If I Win The Lottery, You'll Never See Me Again."


5. You know a ridiculous amount of history thanks to musicals and you impress all your friends in the history category at bar trivia. "Cuz I'm The Oldest, And The Wittiest, And The Gossip In New York City."


6. You're basically an accredited lawyer thanks to this musical. "It that my name in black and white? Maybe I'm Doing Something Right! I Feel so much better than before."


7. You may not know math (because what good does that do for you on the stage?) but you know how many minutes are in a year....even if you measure in love. "Five Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand, Six Hundred Minutes."

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
