15 Things That You Miss Most About High School Musicals After You Graduate

For those of you that were musical kids in high school, a strange thing happens around this time of year. You've been busy and haven't really thought about it much until now, but as Facebook and your younger friends from high school remind you, your high school's big show is coming up. Suddenly you feel like there is something missing in your life because you haven't had five hours of rehearsal on Friday nights this semester. Something that had become such a habit in your life over the past few years is suddenly something you are not involved in at all anymore. It's one of the best memories you have of your time at high school, and as you see pictures of cast members rehearsing and the show coming together you begin to remember what you miss most about being in their shoes not so long ago. Among other silly things that are unique to every show you've done, here are a few things you are probably missing:

1. Fidgeting through all of your classes at school on the day of opening night.


2. Having one line in the ensemble but making sure you kill it.


3. The moment when you realize that the show is finally pulling itself together.

4. Pre show rituals.


5. The first time the kissing scene is rehearsed in front of the whole cast.

6. Getting ready before the show with your friends.

7. Full cast dance numbers.

8. Getting compliments from people who you don’t know after the show.

9. Seeing your favorite people come out to watch and support you.

10. The amazing community of people you get to meet and work with.

11. Dressing room dance parties.

12. Taking selfies in costume.

13. Finally throwing away the rehearsal calendar that a few months prior felt like a death sentence.

and most importantly...

14. Acting and dancing on the same stage as your best friends.

Aaaaand last but certainly not least...

15. The cast party.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
