Being in an Acting class is so rewarding because it means having the absolute freedom to go and—

lmao nah can you imagine if I started this article off like that.

If you’ve ever taken an Acting class at any level, I’m sure you can relate to this piece I wrote after having gone through a couple now.

I hope you find a little bit of yourself (or your damn silly classmates) in my observations. Tag ur friends.

1. LeFou from “Beauty & The Beast”

You will probably see this lil bitch immediately—and you will feel it in the air and plan accordingly.

If he isn’t wearing a fedora at the moment, there’s at least two in his closet.

He talks about his improv team a lot, but all you can look at is his bare feet in his slides.

Will be performing a monologue from “The Hangover Part II” and then follow it up with why it is the best installment in the series.

2. Roger from “RENT”

Probably a business major. Still wears Hollister.

You know this dudebrah brings an acoustic guitar to the party.

Thinks this class is lAMe and is just taking it for a requirement.

Will make passive aggressive comments to Lefu every time the teacher calls him on his shit.

He forgot to prepare a monologue, so he will be reading the first thing that came up when he googled “Monologues for Men.”

3. Link Larkin from “Hairspray”

Seemingly the only dude—so far—in the class who is not actively taking away from your experience.

He has potential to be the sweetest baby angel that everyone falls in love with, or that douche WHO ABUSES IT—so play your cards right.

Either way, he did theatre in high school and was the only straight man so he got all the roles and that is fucking dangerous.

He will be performing Biff’s looong monologue from “Death of a Salesman” but will spare us the accent.

4. Goddamn Thoroughly Modern Fuckin’ Millie from “Thoroughly Modern Millie”

This fucking bitch.

She probably is in the major and will let everyone in the class know repeatedly during discussions.

Dress wearer.

Like deadass Rachel Berry, character-shoe wearing kinda stuff.

Will be performing Nancy’s Act II monologue from “Oliver!”—with the accent.

5. Sally Bowles from “Cabaret”

The baddest bitch in the room.

She has no real experience in theatre besides participating in a Christmas pageant, and having a big personality.

Probably a PT major. Doesn’t wear heels to class.

Will be performing the platypus monologue from “Dog Sees God.”

6. Elle Woods from “Legally Blonde”

This bitch is probably wearing heels to class.

Has no business being here besides trying to relive that one time she was a Pink Lady in “Grease”—not even Rizzo though…

She’s in a sorority and has a boyfriend in case you forgot.

Will be performing the same 1-2-minute cut of Catherine’s monologue from “Proof.” The one that every girl does.

7. Jack from "Into the Woods" (Or, if you like: Ryan from “High School Musical”)

Also in the theatre department. Accessorizes with belts and necklaces.

There’s at least 3 others like him in the room—and 30 in the department.

Thinks Millie’s bangs are gross.

Will be performing a very dramatic monologue from “Angels in America.”

8. Éponine from “Les Miserables”

Not in the department, but she just has that damn Kendall Jenner It-Factor thing.

She serves chills and humble attitudes as she finishes her monologue and walks back to her seat in her overalls.

You wanna be her friend, but you’re not cool enough, BRIELLE.

Will be performing Jessica’s overlooked Act II monologue from “This Is Our Youth” that everyone always sleeps on.

9. Mortiz from “Spring Awakening”

The tall gay that thinks he’s too good to be here, but can actually learn if he isn’t such a close minded asshole.

Doc martin wearer and strong sweater game even in the summer.

Will be performing Mark’s monologue from Act 2 of “The Shadow Box” and you should all read this piece if you want a good, queer cry.

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
