4 Reasons You Should Try A Silent Disco

If you've never tried a silent disco before or aren't quite sure what one is...here are four reasons you should definitely check it out:

First, I'll give you a quick overview of what a silent disco is. Basically, it's where there is a live Dj or multiple Dj's spinning their music, but instead of it being played loudly in the room, the music goes to wireless headphones that the attendees are wearing. If there are multiple DJ's, you get to choose which one you want to tune into and you can toggle between the options. I just went to my first silent disco this weekend at a party called Skylab in Denver. It. was. awesome.

Here are the four reasons I think everyone should try a silent disco:

1. Your Hearing Won't Get Destroyed

This is what I noticed right off the bat and loved! I'm 29 and I've been to a party or two in my lifetime. I can't do the extremely loud music anymore, or at least I can never stand at the front near the speakers. My poor ears just can't handle it! I loved that at the silent disco the sound is adjustable so you can still get your groove on without killing your eardrums. Another added benefit is that your vocal chords won't get destroyed either. If you wanna say something to your friend, all you have to do is take off your headphones and speak normally. No more yelling!

2. You Get to Choose

At a silent disco, there are typically 2-3 options to choose from! So if you're not feeling the current option that you're hearing, you can switch to another DJ or station! I loved being able to switch to a different genre without having to the leave the room. Now, you and your friends who all might have different tastes in music can all still dance together!

3. You're in a Judgement-Free Zone

If the people next to you are on a different channel, then they're not going to know what YOUR music sounds like! I mean, I try to dance like no one is watching, but let's face it, we're all thinking in the back of our head about what the guy or gal next to us thinks about our dance moves.

4. It's Just FUN

Unique experiences always bring people together. Sure, you can dance to your own music at home with headphones on, but this is a reason to get out there and makes some new friends while you're at it. At Skylab, I found it very fun to go up to a group of people who had the same color headphones as I was I rocking. I knew that they were getting down to the same music!

If you ever have the opportunity, I hope you try it out! I looked online and didn't find an upcoming event in Denver to share with you but I have a feeling they'll be popping up all over the place. I just attended Denver Start Up Week last week and they even had one at their opening party at Denver Union Station! I did find a local company here called Silent Events. So if you're interested in throwing a silent disco (which is just perfect for non-traditional spaces or places with noise constraints or crabby neighbors) be sure to contact them.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
