25 Things Only Drama Kids Will Relate To

Drama club is the best and worst thing to ever happen to me. It changed me for the better, and changed my sleep schedule for the worst. And there's a few things about drama club I'll never forget. Little things that happened every single show. Without further ado, here is 25 things only drama kids will relate to!

1. The day you get your costume is either the best day ever… Or the worst.

This is the day you discover you look really hot in a corset... Or really bad in shoulder pads.

2. There are times where you are scared to speak, because any word you might say may cause someone to break into show tunes.

We get it, you know all the words to Les Mis. Please let me finish my sentence... Or let me sing Javert's part.

3. Re-blocking scenes the day before opening night

You're not sure if you want to kill your director or your costar... Or both....

4. When the character you’re meant to play isn’t in your range…

Yes, Phantom is supposed to be played but a man... But what if I did it anyway?

5. The absolute mayhem that follows a cast list coming out

Everyone is either jumping for joy or planning a Les Mis style barricade in protest.

6. If it’s not your prop, do not touch it. Even if it is your prop, probably don’t touch it. It will break.

Good luck explaining to the prop master why you were trying to balance all those books on your head.

7. The most popular kids are the ones with the most makeup wipes.

It's going to stain your face regardless...

8. Mic tape hickeys are inevitable. And obviously very sexy.

"What's that on your neck?" *deep, pained sigh*

9. That one lead that cannot memorize his/her lines for the life of them…

How can such a talented person be so bad at memorization?

10. Your diet during tech week is chips and whatever your friend happens to bring to rehearsal.

When's the last time you had dinner with your family? You can't remember.

11. When you’re not in a scene that all your friends are in…

That's cool, I'll just be here...

12. Pre-show traditions that are very difficult to explain to anyone not in drama club.

"Yeah so we all go into a dark closet and-"

13. That one show that is a legend for being particularly awful

Remember that time the lead showed up hungover every rehearsal and the director always made us stay till 11:30 on a school night?

14. That rush when the shows for next year are announced

IT'S ABOUT TIME WE DID RENT

15. You’ve formed an emotional bond with your character shoes.

You guys have been through everything together.

16. “You’re in the show? What part are you?” “Tech…”

You techies are under appreciated and you know it. And are extremely bitter about it...

17. Mumbling lines to yourself in the middle of class like you give a crap.

This monologue isn't going to perfect itself!

18. Freeze till blackout

Don't twitch. Don't twitch. Don't twitch.

19. That one set piece that definitely is not stable

Which is fine until it's a platform you're standing on.

20. The absolute chaos that cast parties bring

Everyone is just drinking Sprite... Why are they acting like this. (Oh yeah, because they're drama kids)

21. Even if you’re an extra or techie, you will walk away from any show you’re in knowing every line

And you're totally confident that if someone literally breaks a leg, you're prepared to play any part.

22. Quickly becoming friends with the stage manager so you won’t get in trouble down the road

It never hurts to have friends in high places.

23. “Can you zip me up?”

There's no room for modesty here.

24. There is never enough hangers or bobby pins

Or mic tape. Or gaff tape. Or hairspray.

25. People telling you the show was incredible

You like to think you played a small role in that.

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!

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.
