So I was one of those obsessed girls who loved Zac Efron and the High School Musical saga. I know all the songs, pretended to be Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens), and pretended I could sing. Well the last movie came out when I was a sophomore in college... Yeah I know... And I of course went out to buy the DVD and was so proud of where those kids had been and how much they had grown up.
Well recently I saw The Lucky One a movie based off a book by Nicholas Sparks that stars none other than Zac Efron. Before I saw the film all I was thinking is, he's too young for this part and/or the girl they paired him with in the movie looks too old for him, etc. etc. etc. I finally see the movie and boy was I more than wrong! Zac is no kid and he more than played the part well; he owned it. He was not that little boy who sang and dance in those musicals 3 years ago, he was a man.
Well happens to be that I will be graduating soon and I will no longer get to be the naive girl who watches and lives vicariously through characters in movies, however, I will have to be a young woman finding her place in the big ol world out there. Zac Efron believe it or not reminded me of the changes that are definitely ahead of me and how I have a lot to look forward to and a lot to prepare for. It's the start of something new and I'm willing and ready to see what's next and new for me.
In the sweet voices of Gabriella and Troy.....
