15 Signs You Are A Dancer

Once a dancer, always a dancer

Anyone that has been a dancer for most of their life or is a still a dancer, understands all the aches and pains that comes with the art. Everyone thinks is all graceful because they see it in shows and on stage once the dances are perfected. However, getting there and the aftermath are so different than what people think. It's always fun in ballet when we do the first grande plie´ and it is just a chorus of cracking knees and ankles. So yes, dances can be amazing on stage, but most of the things we do, our bodies should not be able to do them.

1. You always stand turned out

2. Your body cracks when ever you move

Some of the sounds are just scary and concerning

3. When you bend to pick something up, you do a arabesque

4. You do tap combos underneath your desk in school

5. When you see a long empty hallway, all you want to do is a grande jete´

6. When a song comes on, you start to choreograph a dance

7. When an old performance song comes on, you cringe

When it starts off good, but then you start to notice things and it goes downhill very quickly

8. You can do makeup perfectly after years of practice

Yet you still struggle taking off after a day of performing.

9. You get insulted when people ask “can you do the splits”

10. You have an endless supply of bobby pins

They cover all surfaces in your house and you're constantly finding more.

11. You can not watch yourself on video without wanting to curl in a ball

12. One side is more flexible than the other

13. You cant wear sandals in the summer because of how beat up your feet are

14. People expect you to be graceful, but you really aren't

I trip over my own feet on a flat surface, I am the epitome of not graceful

15. Its called turning, not spinning

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
