The life of a show choir kid.

12 Things Only Show Choir Kids Understand

The first thing someone asks when you say you are in show choir is “So is it like 'Glee?'” You just sigh and roll your eyes because you know that only people in show choir can really understand how your life works. Your life might seem crazy, but you know that all of your hard work is well worth it in the end.

1. Glitter

In show choir, the more glitter, the better. It’s really something you can’t escape, and it is normal to not have a single inch of your car or bedroom glitter free.

2. Stage Makeup

Show choir kids know the pain of wearing so much makeup that it is inevitable your face will break out. You have your own makeup bag just for show choir filled with red lipstick, fake eyelashes, and everything in between. If you feel like you are wearing too much makeup, you probably need more.

3. Hair

The bigger the hair, the better. If your bump doesn’t reach heaven is it even a show choir bump? You can’t be tender headed in the show choir world because having your hair teased is always a must.

4. You Live in the Choir Room

Before the school year even starts you are already back in the choir room. Practice makes perfect. You basically never sleep. Show choir kids don’t really get to venture outside the choir room, especially when show choir season approaches.

5. Sparkly Dresses

Sparkles are always a must for show choir costumes. Sparkles in the stage lights make the perfect statement. The more you stand out, the more the judges remember you.

6. Facials

If your face doesn’t hurt from your facials then you weren’t doing enough. You want the judges to see the big smiles, the sass, the anger, the passion, and everything in between. The facials tell the story of the show. The crazier the facials the better. Facials can make or break a performance.

7. You Can’t Be Shy

Probably everyone in your show choir has seen you half naked. Costume changes are quick, so there is no time to be shy when it comes to changing.

8. In Sickness and Health

It doesn’t matter if you are sick, you will be on that stage. You might be bleeding or have strep, but that doesn’t stop you from giving it your all on the stage.

9. Bus Rides

Choir bus rides are the worst and best experiences in the world. On the bus is where people can really bond, but also, you can’t escape. Lots of noise and singing is inevitable.

10. Choir Director

Your choir director pushes you to always do your best. You spend basically all your time with them. They are probably like a second mom or dad to you.

11. The Feeling of Performing

Honestly nothing compares to the feeling of being on stage. There is something magical about doing what you love with the people you love. As long as you come off of the stage feeling like you did your best, then you won.

12. Family

Your show choir team is your family. You spend every moment with them, and you would not trade them for the world. Sometimes you fight, but that happens in families. No matter what happens, you always have each other’s backs.

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.
