10 Things That Only Make Sense To Theatre Kids

If you are anything like my friends and I, your entire high school career revolved around doing musicals. Here are 10 things that you can probably relate to if you were (or still are) a theater kid.

1. There was nothing more exciting than when your teacher announced what musical your school was doing that year.

And if it was something that you've never heard of before, you probably went straight home and listened to the entire album on repeat, watched Youtube videos of live Broadway performances, and casted who would play each part in your high school's production in your head.

2. The wait to finally see the cast list felt like an eternity.

The day that it was posted felt like Christmas morning. Everyone made sure to get to school extra early that day, and if your friends saw it before you they weren't allowed to tell you because you just had to see it for yourself.

3. And when the cast list was finally posted, there was most likely a ton of drama to follow with it.

But really though, some people took that so seriously. If they didn't get the part that they wanted you knew that you should probably stay away from them for at least a week.

4. That feeling when you finally got somewhat of a big part.

Getting a lead was basically the same as getting a promotion at your job!

5. But then realizing how many lines you had to remember...

The idea of having a lead part in the show sounded like so much fun...until you realized how much that character actually had to talk because, you know...they're the lead.

6. And the fact that you actually had to sing in front of other people.

Sure you can sound like Mariah Carey in the shower, but now you had to do that in front of people! Yikes.

7. There was always that one person that felt the need to one-up everyone.

Even if they had one line in the entire show, they always had to make sure that their presence was known.

8. Having scenes with people you hardly knew might have been weird at first, but in the end they most likely became your best friends.


After spending every single day together at rehearsal, your cast basically became your second family.

9. After months and months of rehearsing, your cast was finally ready for opening night.


With all of the blood, sweat and tears (literally) that was put into rehearsals, you knew those dance moves like the back of your hand.

10. And the feeling you got from preforming in front of an audience for the first time was incredible.


There is nothing more rewarding than the feeling of having an entire auditorium full of people cheer for you after all of the work that you and your cast put into your show.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
