Dear Stageless,

What a week last week was. Two days, three shows, hours and months of work. The adrenaline crash is truly real. I can't help but admit that though satisfying as it is to perform and show off everything you had been working on for months, this is my least favorite part of the Spring Semester. This is the part when spending 3-4 nights a week singing and dancing with some of the funniest people I have ever met comes to an end.

This is the part where, technically, you now are free Monday, Tuesday, Thursday nights and sometimes Saturday afternoon. This is the part when the semester starts to come down. As much as it is a relief that summer grows closer and closer each day, this is the part when it hits you. In nearly a month...yes, the weather will be warmer. Yes, I will be home in California. And yes, classes will be over. But with the end of the semester comes the inevitable moving on of those who I've had the privilege of getting to know the last few years.

We move closer to saying bye to people that most definitely changed my life for better. People that I may be too nervous or anxious to talk to, or people that could not make me stop laughing even if they tried. People that took my obnoxiously loud laugh and still kept me around. People that led to even more friendships that I hope will last. Despite being a communications major, I'm not very good with words, so telling you any of this in person is pretty hard, but alas my admiration for you guys is bigger than you think.

To everyone in Stageless (especially the seniors), thank you for your friendship, and for this show. What started as a class assignment turned into the tribute I only wish I could say to all of your beautiful faces. And even with our incredible professionalism this weekend, Stageless would be nothing without our Shenanigans.

Love,

The girl probably pointing a camera at you, so just act natural.

If you need a new series to watch, I recommend One Tree Hill. I watched this series three times now and it only keeps getting better. If you need any more reasons beside the fact that all of the seasons are on Netflix for your binge-watching pleasure, here are seven more reasons to watch it.

College is the most exciting time of a person's life. It really is. Exciting is not always a positive feeling though. Excited is a feeling that can be associated with nervousness, anxiety and more. Here are some real tips for college freshman that go beyond the typical, "Go to class," lecture.

True friendship is incredibly rare, and to find a friend that will be there for you through all of life's curveballs is something quite unique. To add distance into the equation, maintaining a real, true friendship can be a struggle. There are good and bad parts that come with long distance friendship.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
