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.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
