How could America possibly be obsessed with something that is so simple, and honestly kinda stupid? Whether you choose to admit it or not, we all love to dab. And here is why.

1. It's a crowd pleaser

Many of us have been a part of a group that just loves to randomly dab. The thing is, a group hitting the dab in unison is pretty sweet. Whether it's part of a dance, a way to cheer on your schools sports team, or simply just to make an amazing Vine, to hit the dab in a group is way more intense than a single person. And let's be honest, everyone loves a perfect dab.

2. It's addicting

Once you dab, you will be dabbing for life. Don't believe me? Think about this. Twerking became a thing years ago. I know plenty of people that still get their twerk on when their favorite song comes on. Whipping is a more recent move, but yet we still do it. Sometimes there will be no music playing and people still find a way to whip. Try to hit the dab once, but two years later, when you're still dabbing? Well, I told you so.

3. For those who can't dance, dab

Dabbing is extremely easy. Literally anyone can do it. Say you're at a party and you're put on the spot for a low key dance battle. If you were blessed with awful dance moves like myself, then you will be freaking out on the inside. But just go out there and hit the dab and chances are you will win. Because everyone loves a good dab.

4. The ways to start your dab are endless

It's rare for someone to just throw their arms up in the dab position without a cool way to start it. Some stomp, clap, do a little dance, stomp, and clap. Honestly, there's so many options that it's overwhelming. You get the opportunity to switch things up a bit and to raise the bar to a high standard and see if anyone can out dab your dab.

5. There's never a wrong moment to hit the dab

You wanna dab in the library? Go for it! During your class? Sure! Why not? I'm sure your professor would love it! Many think, "I can only dab when music is blaring and people are staring," but this isn't true at all. You wanna dab in the shower? Go for it! Nobody needs to see you dab. It's acceptable to hit the dab whenever you want.

6. You're not alone

If you're concerned that you're the only one who is addicted to hitting the dab, you aren't. Secretly, we all are. If you're worried about looking stupid, don't be. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but honestly, we all look a little dumb when we hit the dab.

7. There's no way anyone can ruin it for you

I'll be honest, I've seen some people twerk in ways that have made me a little mad that twerking is a thing. However, because dabbing is so simple there's no way anyone can ruin it for you. So, while I am scarred for life when it comes to twerking, I have yet to be scarred by people dabbing.

8. We all have a new favorite phrase

Thanks to the dab, we all have a new favorite phrase. It's three simple words, and they are "hit the dab." Everyone loves to have the opportunity to yell those three words and immediately, those around them hit the dab. And for those of you who haven't gotten the chance to say it yet, it's OK. Your time will come.

9. Right arm or left arm, it's always the same

You don't have to freak out about choosing a side to hit the dab on, because it's always the same. It always looks the same and it never changes. So don't worry about which arm to choose. Just hit the dab however you want, and it will all work out.

10. It's a lot of fun

Hitting the dab is fun! It's intense, crazy, and unique. In general, it's just fun and something that everyone of all ages can enjoy. So go ahead hit the dab! You can try to resist the temptation, but I promise you, no matter how hard you try, you can't resist hitting the dab.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
