Last week, I wrote this piece about the 20 stages of Step Sing week. Now, the results are in, the shows are over and the campus seems a little bit calmer. But the effects of Step Sing are still ringing through the classrooms and residence halls. Here are the 20 stages of life post-Step Sing.

1. Sleeping in on Sunday morning.

2. Waking up with a mountain of homework to do.

3. Wondering how exactly you neglected to do all of this work.

4. Realizing you don't feel well.

5. Going to class Monday and realizing no one feels well.

6. Wondering how you have this much free time on a weeknight.

7. Then realizing it's because you don't have rehearsal.

8. Realizing that you actually miss rehearsal.

9. Watching everyone you know slowly catch the post-Step Sing plague.

10. And feeling bad because you probably gave it to them.

11. Seeing people from your show on Ben Brown.

12. Somehow still having songs from your favorite show stuck in your head.

13. Checking YouTube constantly to see if your show is up.

14. Debating the results with anyone and everyone.

15. Hearing other people cough through the walls.

16. Knowing people on your hall are sicker than you are.

17. And actively trying to prevent yourself from getting more sick.

18. When your mom asks you how your week is going.

19. Cursing the balcony and all the hours you spent with the same people who got you sick.

20. But eagerly awaiting next year's Step Sing season, even if you get sick again.
