Why I Consider My Dance Team My Family

What being on a dance team in college means to me.

Why I Consider My Dance Team My Family
upstreamdownstream.org

Ever since I got into college, I wanted to start dancing again. I had stopped dancing after middle school and since then I had missed it. It wasn't until my junior year, going into my senior year of high school, that I started dancing again. I realized how much I loved it when I was going to dance classes again and being able to express myself through movement.

When I first applied to Salisbury University, I looked at different clubs that I could join. When I went to Admitted Student's Day, the first group I saw was SU Poms. I thought they were so cool, and there was a possibility I could try it out. But when I moved in my freshmen year, I went to the Student Activities Fair and met the president of Untouchables Dance Inc. Since the start of my freshman year, I have been on Untouchables.

What I love about being apart of Untouchables is how much of a family we are. When I first joined, I was nervous, shy, I didn't know anyone and I was worried that I wouldn't like it. Now, I have met some amazing people who will most likely be a part of my life forever.

Another thing I love about Untouchables is the fact that I'm surrounded by other people who love dancing just as much as I do. Once we finish our performances for the semester, I miss my team members; we get so used to seeing each other more than twice a week.


Although there may be times where we could be at each other's throats or we want to end rehearsal so we all can go home, at the end of the day we wouldn't be a team without the remarkable team work and the love we all have for each other— and I wouldn't want to have it any other way.


I can't wait to start again with my team and create some new dances to share with everyone. Who we?!

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.
