These five years at CSU have been some of the best and the worst times of my life. I have grown so much as a person, as an actor, a technician and a teacher. Who would have thought that a girl who knew so little about theatre would leave someone so confident in an art that they love. Yes there have been hard times. Yes there are times that I want to throw in the towel, but in the end this is who I am and what I want to do.
I want to end this with some advice to my freshman self.
1. Get enough sleep, but the nights you stay up too late with your friends just because will be magical.
2.Eat. Even when you feel like you don't need to, eat.
3.Study, after all it is what you are here to do.
4.Take every opportunity and make some of your own.
5.Don't be afraid to let people in.
6. Dating is scary, and no one is really good at it.
7. Don't let the cast list dictate your happiness.
Times are going to be hard, but you are going to learn so much from them. This is your time to do what you want to do and learn what you want to learn so enjoy it.
So with that I say goodbye to my undergrad and hello to my new life.
