After high school, many theatre kids are forced to give the art up because the busy life of college doesn’t allow room for extracurriculars unless you are majoring in it. In turn, one begins to suffer theatre-withdrawal where you miss everything about theatre, good and bad.

1. The anxiety of auditions

2. The joy of seeing your name on a cast list

3. Ridiculous, crazy, embarrassing costumes

4. Fast food runs during breaks

5. Inside jokes based on lines in the show

6. The struggle that is memorizing Shakespeare

7. Quick changes

8. People randomly breaking out into song

9. The exhaustion of tech week

10. Pre-show traditions

11. The jitters you get as you’re about to make your first entrance

12. Going out after the performance in full-makeup

13. Cast parties

14. The bonds you made with your fellow cast mates

15. The feeling of accomplishment after you take your final bow

16. Crying uncontrollably during closing night because you’re going to miss it

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
