I participated in my high school talent show, The Follies, every year. As someone who was never the lead in any theater production but who was also desperately in search of approval and attention, it was the perfect opportunity to show off. One year, I sang an Evanescence track while a friend played piano. In subsequent years, my best friend Allie and I danced to whichever Britney Spears song had come out that year (yes, every year). I’d invite my friends from town, we’d hang out on campus after, and it was one of the best experiences of otherwise dreadful teenage years.
