8 Signs That You Are Obsessed With Broadway
Huffington Post

Although I am not a talented singer, dancer, actor or artist, growing up, going to see a Broadway show was my absolute favorite thing to do. The bright changing lights, vibrant creative costumes, and loud music creates an excitement that you cannot help but be pulled into. When intermission hits, you may have even forgot that you were in the theater watching a show, and you awake from the trance with chills and awe. The details, talent and energy that goes into making a Broadway production truly blows me away every time I am lucky enough to go see one. Broadway is different from my everyday pop, rap, and rave music but it’s still my favorite genre. If you are secretly as nerdy as I am when it comes to Broadway, there is a good chance you can relate to these typical scenarios.

1. You listen to Hamilton on repeat everyday while walking to class, driving, and on all traveling occasions.

Some of the songs are so intense, that you occasionally feel you are right in the middle of the American revolution. I have had many experiences where I was caught off guard by someone waving to me on the street because I had headphones in blasting some Hamilton, almost in tears, adrenaline pulsing.


2. You’ve figured out that listening to songs from "Le Mis" while working out is key.

Nothing says finish that mile strong like a lead up to the French Revolution.

3. Listening to "Legally Blonde" before going out is a must.

There’s something about belting out “Oh My God You Guys” that puts you in a good mood every single time.


4. Fluctuating the volume, while secretly listening to Fiddler On The Roof because although the music is amazing, you don’t want the people walking or sitting close to you to accidentally overhear and give you one super weird look.

5. Not being able to stop talking about Hamilton to anyone and everyone who has seen, listened to, or showed even the slightest bit of interest in the show.

The conversations could go on for hours. #Non-stop

6. Daydreaming about what it would be like if you actually had a good voice and the farthest possibility of starring in a Broadway show.

If you haven’t pretended you were Elphaba, Glinda, Elle, Angelica, Jefferson, Simba, Tzeitel, Eponine, Elder Cunningham, Evan Hansen, or Ariana Grande in 13, you are probably lying to yourself.


7. Secretly waiting for and loving the Tony’s way more than all other award shows.

Come on, live performances from the best of Broadway plus Neil Patrick Harris, it doesn’t get better than that.


8. Reserving a large duration of road trip time to listen to an entire show’s soundtrack in order to fully re-enjoy the experience.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
