There have been many Broadway musicals this year. Some have closed too soon, and many have prospered. Each are special in their own way, and the performers in all of them are amazing. These ten are only a sample of the talent shown on the stage this year.

#10: "Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812"

Based on War and Peace, this show is very creative and memorable, starring Josh Groban as the lead. This show closed way too soon.

#9: "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"

Lead by Broadway King Christian Borle, Charlie lights up the stage with the story of pure imagination we all know and love. The show will be closing this January, which is a real shame.

#8: "Waitress"

This show revolves around the ups and downs of three pie-making ladies. Jason Mraz recently joined the cast, and Sara Bareilles is coming back.

#7: "Hamilton"

There was no way I was not going to include this show. It's a cultural phenomenon, and has a huge fan following.

#6: "Anastasia"

This show is my newest obsession. Based off the story of the royal Romanov's and the animated movie, this show is going strong on Broadway. I really want to see it.

#5: "Spongebob Squarepants"

Just show just opened on Broadway just this month, and already has a major fan following. I was listening to the soundtrack, and it's really good. The concept might seem stupid, but definitely, give it a chance!

#4: "Bandstand"

This show about World War II veterans really closed too soon. It was absolutely amazing, with mind-blowing choreography, and amazing acting. I wish I could see this show again.

#3: "Come From Away"


This show just always makes me smile. The act of courage these people presented when 9/11 happened is super extraordinary. I also really want to see this show.

#2: "Dear Evan Hansen"

Speechless. This show makes me cry so hard. Dear Evan Hansen is the light in the darkness, and is so, so special.

#1: "Once on this Island"

I saw this show recently (check out my review!), and was blown away. This revival was just spectacular, and encompassed all my hopes of the show.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
