Auditioning for a musical or play can seem really scary sometimes, here are some of my tips and tricks to help you out!

1. DO: walk in tall and proud like you know what your doing, (even if you don't)

Casting directors like to see that you can hold yourself to a certain standard and be mature.

2. DON'T: bring in any sort of prop to use with your monologue, or song.

Whoever is doing your audition doesn't want to see you use props, it can be seen as over the top and tacky. they would like to see that you are capable of without the use of props.

3. DO: make eye contact!

Make sure they feel your emotion in your acting and song. it makes them understand what you are trying to communicate in a story teller kind of way.

4. DON'T: be overly nice and giddy.

Make sure to keep it professional! they want to see your maturity as well. act kind but don't go overboard.

5 DO: bring a head shot.

It gives them something to look at when casting, and it helps recognize your face.


Remember that you are talented. Work hard to succeed in what you love doing!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
