Life is like Play(ing) Pokémon

Hey, everyone! Welcome to Acting in the Groove! My name is Ryan and this is my blog! For everyone who has visited before, thank you for coming back again to do some reading today! I got a lot to say! For those of you on here for your first time, HEY! WELCOME! I'm super glad you could get some time to look at my blog today! Thank you so much! Without further ado, let us get started! Phew! This year has gone by so fast, I don't know where it went. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I'm almost a college sophomore. That's pretty weird to think about! I'm so happy that I made it through this first year, and I cannot wait for next year. For all of you out there who are going to college and reading this, BE EXCITED. College is soooo much fun! I probably had the best college experience I could have ever imagined having. Now some last things on college for freshman year: The last quarter has felt very different from the other ones. There is very li...

What's up everyone? My name is Ryan Hebert and this is my blog. If you have never been here before, welcome! It is always a pleasure to get readers new and old to come back again and again. Wow, it's been about a month since I've written to you guys, and I've got some explaining to do! Let's get started!!! LETS GOOOO It is currently the start of Week 5 here at DePaul University. Most of my friends are escaping the clutches of higher education and starting their summers within a couple weeks while I am here till the beginning of June. Jeez.. it kinda feels like I'm back in high school. LOL. Anyways, I am thrilled and also so very sad that my freshman year is just about over. Me trying to enjoy the next 5 weeks I have been here for 2 1/2 sessions out of the 3 total main sessions there are for classes. I have about 5-6 weeks left and that means I need to really enjoy all the time I have left. This year I have met countless friends and lifelong connectio...

Hey, Everyone! Welcome back! My name is Ryan (Pbrabbit) Hebert! I am a Competitive VGC Pokemon Player. 2017 has been a year of much-needed diversity. From VGC 2016 with THE BIG SIX, to 2015, with all the teams being pretty much the same, it's been a few years now since we've had some fun, like Se-jun Park in 2014 with his outstanding Pacharisu! I am so grateful to finally be able to grab onto such an interesting competitive year and just run with it! The Trainer I aspire to BE! For all of you who do not know me, I am a freshman at DePaul University, studying for a BFA in Theatre Arts. I am also a long time fan of Pokemon. Starting off with Pokemon Ruby, collecting a few cards here and there. I got to where I am now because of my pull into the game. I love it 100% and I would never give it up. Now enough about me, time to get started on what I have for you all! 2 weeks ago, I designed 12+ teams while I was in class. I am going to list some EV spreads and moves below and ...

Hey, y'all! Welcome back to Acting in the Groove with your writer, Ryan B. Hebert, and gamer, Ryan (Pb) Hebert. For all of you who do not know me, I am a current freshman at DePaul University, studying at the fabulous, The Theatre School. Thanks for stopping by to do a little bit of reading today! Let's get started! It is now Sunday, which means that Spring Break is coming to a close and that I am 10 weeks away from Summer! AHHH! So much to do in such little time, am I right? I am so sad that my freshman year is coming to a close, but I am so excited at the same time.  Chicago has been amazing, and I love DePaul so much! I also cannot wait to meet the new freshman that come in next year as freshmen. My hope is that I can get back to doing some shows next year since I will not have my mandatory crew assignment anymore. (BTW the crew assignment could be a number of jobs for shows that are unpaid labor, it is what freshmen are most useful for).  I do have one more a...

Hello, everyone!!! Thanks for coming back again to read another blog post by yours truly. If you have never been here before, welcome! I am so happy to have you. Now without wasting any more time, let's do this! Reaching for my goals Finals week is finally here at DePaul University and that means a couple things. First of all, it is the week before Spring Break and there is nothing I want more than to get through the upcoming stretch of a week. While I count myself lucky since I only have one in-class final, that means I have projects and papers galore. These projects allow me to tap into my creative side and get really interested in some topic of choice. Ultimately, I thought of what to write and I felt overdue on writing a play because I have not spent much time playwriting this quarter. So like the dog on the right, I tried my best to test the waters and see what I could do. What I ended up with: The History of Institutionalized Grapes Yeah, I know, w...

Greetings, peoples of the universe! Welcome back to Acting in the Groove! I'm Ryan, and for all of you who have never read this blog before, welcome! Thanks for being here to do a little reading today. I am so excited to write about all of my experiences in the past months. So without further ado, let us get started!  After what seemed to be a long first quarter, I finally left for Boston at the end of November. I was finally ready to go home after a thrilling first quarter. Immediately after two days at home, my sleep schedule fell back into order and I was tired before 12 AM. It was a blessing and a curse at the same time. But most of all, I was brought together again with my darling Izzy. My mother's partner, Donna, and I pulled up to Dunkin Donuts, where Izzy had been waiting for almost an hour since the plane was slightly late.  We pull up to the lot and I don't know what to do. Let her get in, get out, oh! What to do! Well, Izzy being Izzy, the cute, amazing, ...

Hello friends! I understand that you may be auditioning for schools soon or applying for schools in such in your own college processes and I am here just to provide some insight on my experience with The Theatre School. I am currently a BFA Theatre Arts Student at DePaul University. Personally, I think of it as one of the most open and versatile degree's you can get here at The Theatre School. The first classes I have taken in my first quarter are: Intro to Production: Not your momma's production class! My class was taught by the one and only, Ernie Nolan. A man who just has so much under his belt, he really is just an impressive guy. In this class you learn about what it takes to create your own theatre company, and what is here in Chicago. This class keeps me informed and knowledgable about what is happening around me! Ernie is also just an engaging speaker and teacher. 10/10, I recommend this guy. Script Analysis: This is a class that is not for the weak. You must ...
