On Your Own
It's been an extremely long and hard day. I woke up at four o' clock this afternoon. It rained all day and I guess that that didn't help my mood at all either. I am currently having a good amount of financial trouble and as hard as I am trying, I just can't seem to get any progression. One good thing that did happen in between all this madness was that I got into the university in my city and am finally going to school for writing.

Dear Vocal Readers, Oh fears, we all know how crazy some of our greatest fears are or have been. You would be surprised to see just how much your fears have changed over the years, though. I know that there are things I used to be afraid of when I was a child, and things that have crept up later in life. Whether you only hated clowns as a kid or still have that lingering fear, I'm sure there have been changes to what scares you.

This is not a post that will promise success. It simply will help you understand that the reasons you say, “I can’t because,” are nothing more than an excuse. Do not let an excuse stand between you and your goal or dream. Educate yourself and run with your idea. I have given advice and helped many people launch their idea—not all were successful; however, they at least gave it an honest effort and tried. They were able to get past the “I can’t” and started doing what they dreamed. I am a firm believer that passion and effort will take you anywhere you want to be. That being said, let’s dive in and look at the biggest “excuses” for not chasing your dream.

"Hey! Oh my gosh, I haven't seen you in so long! How have you been?" "Ah, I've been good. I've been SO busy." Raise of hands, how many of us have had this conversation at least five times this week? Me. I know I have and continue to, week after week after week.

Before I start this column I would like to tell you a short story about Eruruu. Eruruu is not me...well not entirely at least. Eruruu was a female character on a game I played quite extensively. In her, I found myself driven to help my fellow players and offer fun, silly, and sometimes serious advice while playing with others. I hope that you can hear her and possibly benefit from the little mother in my head.

Brush your teeth. Get a good night’s sleep. Take your makeup off at night. Say “thank you” at every opportunity. Smile lots.

Look, I'm not an expert on really anything, except maybe Harry Potter trivia, but that's beside the point. As a high school student with a dash of anxiety and a pinch of awkwardness, I've learned a few things.

A hairbrush is not just a hairbrush. A hairbrush is a handheld microphone for you to sing into while you dance around your bedroom, performing for an imaginary crowd of screaming fans.

Alina GallupePublished 6 years ago in MotivationThe Show Must Go On
How to harmonize, do a perfect box step-grapevine dance combo, change outfits in less than 26 seconds, and make it look like you just punched someone without even touching them are just a few things I have learned in my many years of musical theatre. I have been trained to project my voice, never turn my back to an audience, and improvise when another person on stage forgets their lines.

Regrets are a bitch. The more people I meet, the more I realize that everyone lives with sadness about missed opportunities.
