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!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
