Dance Valentine's Day Away

Dance Valentine's Day Away
Drama Dance

I have always found Valentine's Day difficult (to say the least). Ever since I was a youngin, I had a very pessimistic perspective about the whole event, and ironically at the same time I was (and am) a hopeless romantic and imagined receiving a rose from the boy I'd been smitten by. But that never happened. There were some years when I tried to claim the holiday for myself: I handed out roses to every person in my class in elementary school, I sent a bouquet of balloons to my junior prom date as a thank you, and freshman year of college I handed out chocolate to every girl who lived on my floor. The point is, Valentine's Day is hard if you're single and if you've always been single, trust me, I know. But, one thing that I love about this day is its focus on love. And something I love almost as much as the abstract idea of love and eternal bonds and everything sappy, is art (music, dance, painting, etc.). So the following are choreographed dance videos to amazing romantic songs. And if you love romance, and dance, and heartbreak and music, then these are the videos for you.

1. "Stuck With Me" by Timeflies

The dance of a couple moving in and working through all of life's trivial problems. But have no fear, romance is the conqueror of all.

2. "Let It Go" by Jame Bay

For those that are heartbroken, this video will speak to the cracked parts of your heart. The story of a break up to one of the best James Bay songs. Caution: you may need tissues and chocolate (even if you've never been in a break-up, this video will leave you broken about someone you never even loved).

3. "Fix You" by Coldplay

We all love a classic Coldplay song, but when you introduce dance and a desert into it, it's like 'hello emotions, how are you?' I have several questions throughout this video: was that really the best shirt she could wear (it seems slightly inconvenient), how did they get to the desert, and why white? No matter, this is an incredibly powerful performance to a classic.

4. "Wicked Game" by James Vincent McMorrow

Not only is this cover of 'Wicked Game' flawless, but this performance is like watching a fairy tale unfold. There are points when you may forget that these are two separate performers - or that this is just dancing. Beware of 'the feels'.

5. "Still" by Daughter

For the relationship that isn't all that perfect or romantic, and not yet broken, as though it's hanging on by several threads. It's toxic but addictive, just like this short choreographer section. If this doesn't inspire you to dance to everything by Daughter, then I don't know what will.

Happy Valentine's Day, don't forget there are infinite types of love in the world, so you are loved no matter what your relationship status is.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
