Ladies, we've all been there. You're at the club, the bar, or a party, just drinking your choice of beverage and maybe dancing to some pretty good music with some of your best friends. You're having the time of your life until suddenly, someone pulls you aside and derails all your fun. They begin to talk to you and proceed to ask you to dance or for your number, but all you really want to do is take a couple of more shots and dance with your friends.

This type of scenario gets incredibly old and annoying. Being in the same boat, I've come up with a few ways to get creative when you don't want to dance with someone at a club, bar, or party.

"She's my girlfriend!"

This is one of my favorites. I usually grab my friend, or even another girl next to me, and tell the guy that the girl is my girlfriend and it usually throws the guy off, leaving him very confused.

"I only like to square dance."

This is a little odd to say, thus forcing the person to believe you're kind of odd and depending on their preferences, this excuse may or may not work.

"I'm claustrophobic."

A girl's gotta have her personal space!

"I can't, I'm about to go to Trujillos."

Let's be real here, Trujillos > boys.

"If I dance any more/longer, I just might throw up."

Hey, everyone gets a little wild now and then! He'll probably thank you for not throwing up on him.

Pretend like you didn't hear what he said.

With the loud music, I don't usually have to pretend that I didn't hear him asking to dance with me because I didn't actually hear him. But if you did, you can always pretend that you didn't.

Give an honest answer.

Lastly, and probably most importantly, I suggest being honest. It's 2018 and women should be able to have the freedom to do what they want without feeling bad for not pleasing someone or giving someone what they want. How the guy reacts to your honest answer that you don't want to dance with them is simply a reflection on them.

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.
