"If i hear POPULAR ONE MORE TIME- I SWEAR THAT PERSONS NOT GOING TO BE CAST." Said by every director in every audition room. As actors, we know of a few songs to NEVER sing in the casting room. We know EVERYONE is going to sing these songs. So HERE is a list of songs you should NEVER sing for an audition! Most of this information is my own common knowledge as an actor for over ten years, and from HERE .



1. "Popular" from "Wicked"

Everyone knows not to sing anything from "Wicked". It's just a thing, don't do it, people will laugh at you.

2. "Gimme Gimme" from "Thoroughly Modern Millie"

BECAUSE. EVERYBODY. SINGS. SUTTON. FOSTER.

3. "Astonishing" from "Little Woman"

Really guys? You cant come up with anything better then this? If you choose this, you better sell it because thirteen other girls are going to be singing it.


4. "In My Own Little Corner" from "Cinderella"


Yeah, i learned that the hard way. Even for Cinderella, folks. Picked by every Soprano ever.

5. "Part Of Your World" from "The Little Mermaid"

Yeah, everybody picks this song. Alan Menken was the composer so for like all of his shows people pick it. Eh.


Take it from me. Learn from my mistakes, and thousands of others!!! Please?

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
