The stage is simply set. Three chairs facing backwards from the audience. No backdrop, no set. Simply blackness. Before the lights go out, we are told to imagine three white boxes where the chairs are, to picture three heads sticking out of the boxes. Three different boxes for three different actors. Cue blackout. Actors to […]
The End of a Stressful[?] Era
Today marks a turning point in my life. Following my own advice (see 13 Things I Learned in 2013), I recently decided to drop my math major in order to devote myself to my true loves: theatre, English, and creative writing. Am I a little scared about stepping out on a limb and pursuing my […]

I sang a duet from a musical (surprise, surprise!) with my friend Robert while my friend Jacob accompanied us on the piano. My friend Sarah […]

She Hasn’t Got A Clue
Cast n Crew. Until six weeks ago, all that phrase was to me was the name of a WashU student theatre group whose mailing list I had signed up for during the activity fair the first week of freshman year. Now, when I think about that phrase, the first thing that comes to mind is […]

Go Bears!
Yesterday, I had the chance to attend my very first WashU football game. An avid football fan, I had a great time watching the game with some friends from home who had driven up to watch their son play for the other team (don’t worry–I didn’t hold that against them :)). Some of the guys […]

Home Sweet Home
Well, I’m finally back. Back to blogging. Back to exams, homework, and tons of reading. And, most importantly, back to my home away from home–WashU. It was a great summer. I traveled, I learned, I worked, I experienced. But it’s also great to be back. I truly missed WashU. It’s been a whirlwind of a […]

Perspectives (Part 1)
Though I could sit and talk for hours about all the things I love about WashU, I thought it would be more compelling at times to bring in the points-of-view of some other WashU students who all have their own great stories to share. As such, I’ve decided to launch a new series of posts […]

My Aca-Family
This past January, I did something I wouldn’t normally do, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. I auditioned for a cappella. When I say that a cappella is something that I wouldn’t normally do, I don’t mean that singing was something that I didn’t enjoy. In fact, […]

Dorms, dorms, dorms
One of the things that I love about WashU is the dorms. And I don’t just mean the rooms. They’re great, but it is the community that makes dorm life at WashU so wonderful. I live in a single, so I don’t have a roommate, but I share a suite with three other people. Like […]
