1. Your first audition at school

2. Answering phone calls from friends and family


3. Getting attention from upperclassman when you're an underclassman


4. Playing a role older than yourself (even if it's only slightly older)


5. Getting that #BroadwayBody


6. Imagining your life after you graduate


7. The morning after a late night rehearsal/tech when you're trying to communicate with your Non-MT friends



8. Fulfilling your technical theatre requirements


9. Taking non-major classes


10. Laban


11. Watching your friends rehearse their scene to see how rehearsed you should be


12. When you have to ask the theatre office if there's available rehearsal space



13. Questionable sets


14. Not getting a role you thought you were perfect for


15. Finally getting a role


16. You think you did really well on a scene assignment, only to get your actual grade back


17. All of the drama (literally)


18. Defending your acting/singing choices to your professors


19. You forget you have a character analysis due


20. Dance requirements


21. Someone sings a questionable song


22. Nightmares about the "Freshman 15"


23. Thinking about the future


24. And the sarcasm


25. Your friend gives a beautiful performance

(hey Brooke Haney's acting 1)



26. Being told by other majors that you're too dramatic


27. Other majors think MT is lame


28. You've seen a lot of your classmates in their underwear


29. You talk about your major non-stop


30. But you do it, because you have the best major in the world, and you wouldn't change it for anything

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count."

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.
