Oh, high school...so many memories. Some good and some bad. But if you're anything like me, those memories predominately center around theater. From auditions to after school dress rehearsals, about 75 percent of your best memories come from being on that stage. Here are some ways you know you did high school theater.

1. You still know all the warm ups used before rehearsals

Most of the time they were "distinctly hard to say, yet harder still to do." Also, you never got over the fact that "Mama made me mash my M&M's."

2. You have so many theater-related clothes.

Definitely at least character shoes in nude and in black, not to mention all of the random costume pieces you have that you can't seem to make yourself get rid of. Oh, and of course ALL THE CAST T-SHIRTS.

3. Nothing in your life will make you more nervous than waiting for the cast list to be posted.


Except for maybe the walk up to the cast list.

4. You still reach for the lemon tea and add honey when your throat hurts.

Or better yet, you drink some throat coat because you're basically addicted to that stuff.

5. You start bursting out in show tunes or quotes WAY too often.

"Hey! Don't forget-"

"About the boy...Forget about the boy...Forget about the boy!"

"Umm...no...to do that psychology essay..."

6. You definitely know how many minutes are in a year.

It's 525,600 minutes, just in case you didn't know.

7. Two words: Hell -- I mean, Tech Week

Well, at least now you are definitely prepared to handle stress I guess?

8. Most of your best friends are people you met while performing in a musical.

With all of the emotions, late rehearsals and inside jokes, how could you not all come out best friends?

9. You've had to utter the phrase "I can't, I have rehearsal" so many times you probably have this shirt.

Or at least seriously considered getting it.

10. Anytime anyone says "It's in 5 minutes" you respond "Thank you 5!"

And then have to explain away the subsequent stares.

11. You still belt out show tunes when you're home alone or driving in your car

Hey, don't judge us -- we miss it!

8. You miss theater with every fiber of your being.

Sure, you could do community theatre...and you will...but it's just not the same. You miss all of those high school productions...and you would not have traded it for the world.

Resting b***h face. Defined as a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to. Many of you suffer from this "condition."

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.
