To The Dancer Who Won't Receive A Degree In Dance

Not every dancer will make a career out of this sport, but I advise them to continue dancing throughout life.

To The Dancer Who Won't Receive A Degree In Dance

Dancing is a great activity for not just the body but the mind also. Whether you have danced for 5 or 15 years, I advise not to give it up. Think about this decision while putting on your favorite song. Let your feet sweep across the floor; you will soon realize how much dance is a part of you. This feeling is something you should never let go of.

If you have a true passion, this is something so special. Not everyone gets to find a sport, hobby, or activity that they love to do. Never let go of this passion; it is something to rely on during good or bad days. Not only does dance have a positive effect on your mood, it has taught you so many life lessons that you should never let go. Dancing has taught you so much more than alignment, precision, and rhythm. Dance has taught you to brush yourself off and get up when you fall down, determination and persistence, how to respect others, overcoming fears, and how to work together in a team.

These are life lessons that you can keep in your back pocket throughout your life. Dance leaves such a great impact on everyone, and you have worked too hard and learned too much to give it up now.

You have put in a lot of hard work through your dance journey, but do not let this guilt you into thinking you must major in dance throughout your college life. Everyone has other passions they should look to pursue. Just keep in mind there are so many opportunities to continue dancing. Minoring in dance is a great option, as well as joining a dance team or performance company. Some gyms at universities offer dance classes, but if your school does not, there is always open space to dance at the gym. If you live close to a local studio, do not be afraid to take classes. If you go to school in or near a city, there is definitely many opportunities to offer.

Dancing is something that should never be given up; it has so many social, mental, and physical benefits for an individual. When you are having a good or bad day, dancing is there to rely on and relieve stress or let out emotions. It is okay if you decide to pursue a career of your choice, but always remember that there are so many opportunities that several schools offer to continue this beneficial sport.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
