As a theatre major, it is important to understand the foundation and basis of art. With this being said, we must start at the beginning. Well, close to the beginning. If you have ever read Greek literature and philosophy before, you know one thing: it is not easy. It takes time and thought to analyze something that may read life Gibberish. Here are my thoughts.

Day One: What. The. Heck. Is. This. Why is this even a thing? Who understands this?

Reading it over and over and over again.

I can do this. Yes I can.

Okay some of this makes sense.

Hours and pages of notes later, leaves the rest for later.


Day Two:

Continuing on.

I think I can, I think I can.

Okay, imitation is the game here. Everything is about imitation.

EVERYTHING is about imitation.

Oh and action.

Nope, just imitating action, my bad.

Okay, and I am back to confused.



Day Three:

Girl, this is due soon, you have to finish.



Day Four:

You were in AP, this is NOTHING.

Nope. I am wrong.

I am not smart.

I cannot even read.


Day Five:


Okay, you just have to finish.

You are so close!!

He is basically just restating everything.

I think.

Yup, imitation, action, plot, characters, point of view, harmony and rhythm, comedy, tragedy, Epic, conversation, diction, embellishments, spectacle, song, proper structure, unity, universal, episodic, simple, complex, reversal, recognition, exude, parody, the perfect tragedy, memory, complication, unraveling, cause and effect, letter, syllables, connecting words, nouns, verbs, inflection, sentence, phrases, double compound, strange words, newly, jargon, periods, faults, breathing, punctuation, metaphors, Greek catharsis, propriety, consistency, sight, senses, feeling, beginning, middle, end, irrational, turning point, skillful handling, comparison, feminine vowels, current proper words, distinction, style, justification, unrefined, probability, pity and fear, single in issue, confirming principles, specific magnitude, centering around one plot, etc, etc, etc..... AND IMITATION again. That's it.

And a little bit more.


All in all, Aristotle is complicated. It is difficult to comprehend and analyze what he truly meant and how it still applies today to the arts. In all seriousness, I may joke a lot, but this truly is important and I am thankful for the amount of diligence it took and implemented in me.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
