Dance Parties: A Daily Necessity

Dance parties. Who doesn’t love a good dance party?

Recently, I’ve found myself dancing more and more often, just around my room or in the elevator. After dancing, I’ve felt a release of all of my worries and stress. I’m here to talk to you about why I think dance parties are essential to everyday life.

I’ve been swamped with schoolwork, as this is my most stressful semester of college. One day last week, I was hanging out with my friends, Lindsey and Michaela, doing homework. We had been working for at least three hours, reading, writing, and what not. Out of nowhere, Lindsey put on some music and started dancing. At first, I was pretty distracted because I usually do my homework in silence. But then I got up and decided to join in.

I felt liberated. I started jumping and twirling, spinning, and all that jazz. I was remembering old cheerleading dance routines and doing toe-touches. Michaela, Lindsey, and I were all over the room, laughing, singing, even square dancing. I felt great. I forgot all about the schoolwork I had to do and how stressed I was feeling.

We danced for over an hour and afterwards I felt like a million bucks. I was so relaxed.

If you've seen "Grey's Anatomy," you know that Meredith and Cristina have 30 second dance parties very often when they are stressed out. They like to "dance it out." Maybe this is where I found my original inspiration for my dance parties. If it works for doctors, it must work for students, too. Whenever Meredith and Cristina have a dance party, no one can interrupt them. It's almost as if the world stops for them. Their problems disappear.

I really think that people should try to incorporate at least 15 minutes of dancing into their daily routine. Just put on a few of your favorite songs and jam out. This can count towards your daily 30-60 minutes of exercise! It’s something fun and you can do it wherever you are, even on your way to class. Enjoy yourself. Be free.

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.

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.
