Fall 2016 has come to a close. Lots has changed. The Conservatory of Theatre and Dance keeps improving, and we have made lots of gains. Going off of my previous article, here are fifteen additional signs that you're in the Conservatory of Theatre and Dance at Southeast Missouri State University, especially this last semester.
1. Someone has very festive clothing for every holiday, and that person for us is Rachel.
2. Because of how strong the bonding is, typically the greatest friendships are not within your grade (aka Malachi and Jessica. How cute are they?)
3. Five, sexy, several, eight (or multiple combinations of numbers and those words).
4. Superheros. Everywhere. Like seriously, how did Hilary figure out that homecoming theme matched her piece?!
5. Finding ways to incorporate dabs within class on the side and seeking Jordan's approval.
6. Figuring out dancers are way too clumsy outside of the studio. For example, at least once a week, someone falls out of bed (usually it's Kim).
7. Everyone knew and was doing the opening number from A Chorus Line all semester long, whether you were in the cast or not.
8. USE YOUR METATARSALS. At least if we ever have to take Anatomy, Alyssa has made darn good sure we know our feet bones.
9. You either love the obvious like Hilary, or because she loves the obvious, you don't know how to feel about it.
10. Jose, are you warming up? No, he's probably cooling down.
11. Only certain people are called the "Tinys" even though there are so many people around that same height.
12. So many of us kept calling "A Chorus Line" "On the Town" and we were very upset with ourselves.
13. Keeping Up With The Watermelons. Know them, watch their show, and love them.
14. One person's sickness or injury becomes everyone else's sickness or injury (mentally or physically).
15. All of the jealousy when we saw all of the posts from our friend in New York for American Hero.
