13 Signs You Were In Show Choir In High School
Kevin Chase

Show choir is very popular in the Midwest. Competition season is cutthroat for many high schools, but after graduation, show choir pretty much ceases to exist for many. If you were ever a part of show choir, you understand how it feels to part with such an important piece of your high school career. Here are 13 signs that you were a part of the cult they call show choir in high school:

1. You break out into song when you hear certain trigger words.

"Yeah, she had a terrible fall-."

"Hope when you take that jump, you don't fear the fall."

2. Sometimes you do choreo without realizing it.

It can get especially awkward when you're sitting in the dining hall.

3. When you need to, you can change in 15 seconds flat.

Those quick changes taught you a thing or two, like how to get pants on and off without removing your shoes.

4. When you see a stage, you start to drool.

You used to complain about the bright lights, but now you would do anything for them to shine on you again.

5. Meeting someone from a rival show choir is OK because at least they share your love for show choir.

"Did you say 'show choir'?"

6. But during competition season, things may get ugly.

We are no longer friends. Don't speak to me.

7. You still find glitter in weird places.

It isn't logical, how am I still finding glitter in my bras? I didn't even wear this one on stage!

8. You have to explain it to people who didn't have a show choir in their school.

"No, it's not like 'Glee.'"

9. When you see a show choir T-shirt, you can’t help but ask the wearer about it.

"Oh my gosh, you went to Johnston? That upset last year was crazy!"

10. You have your January-March weekend plans all set in September.

Obviously.

11. Xavier’s 2009 ballad.

Yeah. Enough said.

12. You text your high school friends constantly.

All they want to do is get ready for finals, but you can't give them a second of peace. If you can't be there, how else are you supposed to know what's happening?! You don't have the patience to wait for showchoir.com to be updated!

13. You’re sad about not being able to perform on stage, but realize how amazing it is to see what your alma mater has created.

Don't get me wrong, being on stage is an amazing feeling, but seeing all the hard work these high schoolers have put in is even more amazing.

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.
