For those of us who are in love with the theatre world, there are certain things that you just know to be true whether you're a thespian or just a super fan of the arts.

1. Dance Numbers Happening Without Warning

Whether it's on the stage and even just doing simple everyday things, there are times where you can't help but break out the dancing moves and let yourself get carried away with the music.

2. Certain phrases send you off into singing certain Broadway tunes

You're having a normal conversation with friends when they unknowingly say a lyric from a musical score that makes you fangirl out of no where.


3. You know to never wish a performer good luck, always tell them to break a leg.

Telling an actor "good luck," will raise the superstition that they should only be told to "break a leg" in lieu of the common courtesy.

4. You just happen to know entire soundtracks to shows, NBD.


5. You know when you see the lights blinking during intermission you best get to your seats

Otherwise you run the risk of missing the second act, not to mention theatre etiquette.

6. You have the skills of the quick change down to a science.

7. You were aware of everything that was happening in Shakespeare (even the dirty jokes).


8. You know how many minutes there are in a year thanks to "Rent".

9. As well the extremely detailed life of Alexander Hamilton.


10. You can improv your way out of a situation when your mind has gone blank on your lines.


But most importantly you know the show must always go on!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
