10 Signs You Were A Theatre Kid Growing Up

We all have these little quirks.

10 Signs You Were A Theatre Kid Growing Up
Thought Catalog

Whether it be in the way a person acts, talks or thinks, there are definite signs that show somebody grew up with some sort of club or hobby. In my case, I grew up with a love for theater. I've been in theater productions for around half of my life, and I've met many people who share my passion. Naturally, this means I have a pretty good idea about who was in a company or enjoyed watching theater when they were younger.

I know these traits aren't shared by everyone, but at the very least, a good chunk of these signs give a pretty clear indication.

1. You knew who Lin-Manuel Miranda was before "Hamilton" was cool.

2. You know every lyric to every song in at least three Disney movies.

3. You have an odd fascination with 1950s America.

4. Jazz hands are almost second nature to you.

5. You know who Audra McDonald, Megan Hilty and Jonathan Groff are.

6. You've never seen any production of The Music Man, but you know the alto part of "Ya Got Trouble" by heart.

7. When you watch the movie "Grease", you count out "1-2-3-4" in your head, remembering the dance moves you had to do during "Greased Lightning".

8. You actually give a shit about the Tonys.

9. You call your loafers your "character shoes".


10. You still nerdily obsess over the newest Jeremy Jordan play with your old friends.


Of course, this may not apply to all theater kids, but I'm sure a good majority understand where I'm coming from.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

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.
