<p>A</a> Conversation with Breckenridge '10 over coffee in Chancellor Green Cafe</p>

<p>“I sometimes feel like I’m living two lives,” admitted the petite brunette sitting across from me in Chancellor Green Cafe. Just getting through Princeton is hard enough, but getting through Princeton while balancing a professional acting career? For 25-year-old Laura Breckenridge ’10, that’s been her life for almost seven years. </p>

<p>After taking a total of four years off from Princeton to perform onstage, on television and in film, Breckenridge is back this year as a full-time student. If her face looks familiar, it’s probably not from your precept, but from her latest role as the unassuming new English teacher on the CW cult hit “Gossip Girl.” (continued)</p>

<p>A number of professional actors have passed through Princeton. Some have taken time off to advance their careers before returning. Others have managed both Princeton and a professional career simultaneously. Advanced dancers and classical musicians have done the same. </p>

<p>For those interested in theater and the arts at Princeton, a good place to start is here:</p>
