What is it about college that makes people want to dance? I think it's the confidence and unconditional respect that people have for each other. There's that rhythmic beat in each of us, but often times people are too embarrassed to bust a move. College, though, brings out that inner dancer in all of us. This became very apparent at the MCB Mardi Gras Party last Tuesday. Beads, masks, food, and all, we danced the night away for hours while celebrating "Fat Tuesday" in Bob's Place. We had so much fun just letting loose and forgetting about homework for awhile. We were all dancing together and whether or not we would be classified as "good dancers" , we just laughed at each other and had a blast. It's amazing how much people grow into themselves while in college. For me, high school was a time where I really thought about my moves and what people thought of me. In the dance realm, that often meant settling for a little sway back and forth at PROM. College has finally taught me, though, that being myself is so liberating, and in the dance realm, that definitely means dancing like no one is watching! I love having fun with friends, and for me and my friends, dancing is a great way to laugh and enjoy each other's company.
Spring Break is only a week away, so campus is buzzing with excitement. This has been a fun weekend of hanging out with friends and attending random campus evens like the "Penny Party" a carnival type activity that drew a ton of people to the gym - what good times :)
Until next time... dance like nobody's watching :)
