Studio dancers have the biggest personalities.

15 Types Of Dancers You'll Find In A Studio

Okay, I've visited and seen a lot of different dance studios over the years. As you go through the studios, you start to see a trend in the types of people at the studio.

Admit it -- you're at least one or more of these:

1. The Know-It-All

Everyone seems to typically be annoyed with this person, they seriously think they know everything. They always make sure you know when you're doing something wrong -- even when you're actually not.

2. The one with no bones

This person literally defies the laws of anatomy. It seriously seems like they have no bones. Like, seriously, how does your leg go BEHIND your head with no problem?

3. The BFFS/The Dynamic Duo

This first pair is always together and always talking. Quite frustrating really; teachers usually threaten to separate them. The second pair is the two dancers who absolutely kill when dancing together. Don't separate these two -- they were born to dance with each other.

4. The turner

Literally the human top. Usually asks, "Can I fit six pirouettes in the amount of time everyone else does four?"

5. The one that never leaves the studio

GUILTY. Yep. This is totally me. If I could live at the studio, I would. I'm there pretty much 2-9 every night when possible. When I get there the doors are usually locked and I have to call my teacher to let me inside. Yeah, it's kind of annoying. I know.

6. The jumper

It kind of looks like they're on a trampoline but, they aren't. They really just jump that high.

7. The one that's always late

There's always that one person that's late. Maybe it's because they fall asleep and don't wake up in time- which is real annoying -- but sometimes there are just people that are literally just naturally late to everything. It's rare that they're on time and people are pleasantly surprised when they are.

8. The one that's too competitive

Also guilty of this one. This person sees almost everything as a competition. Sometimes this is good, other times it's downright dumb. You can do 6 pirouettes? I'm gonna work all night so that I get seven. That teacher likes you? She's going to like me more. Yeah, okay, it can get annoying.

9. The fashion show dancer


You know the one -- the one that is constantly dressed to impress and you're really not sure why? Everyone is in a tank top and leggings and this girl is decked out head to toe in Jo & Jax or NappyTabs with full makeup and hair. Usually, you're kind of annoyed but kind of intrigued on how they manage to always look so good.

10. The one that asks 9,093,256 questions during class

Sometimes, I understand asking questions. But there's a point where it gets annoying. And I mean, come on, if the teacher says, "Make sure your right arm is connected to your left hand," and 10 seconds later you say, "Where is your right arm?" It's obvious you weren't paying attention.

11. The teacher pleaser

I'm also majorly guilty of this one. This person is a suck up -- but seriously they probably just can't help it. They might not even intentionally be trying to suck up, they just naturally try to make the teachers happy with their performance.

12. The one with the perfect feet

They look like the perfect pair of bananas! No joke. I’m not this one and I hate it.

13. The always sweaty one

Okay, this one I'm also guilty of. It's not like it's preventable -- but these dancers are usually just naturally sweaty and sweat a lot. It just kind of happens. Sorry to anyone that has to dance with us.

14. The always injured one

We threatened to wrap her in bubble wrap. It was a good idea.

15. The one that's always on their phone

It's a 45 minute class, you would think you could survive that long without your phone. But no, these social butterflies need to be connected 24/7 and have a fear of missing something; so they're usually sneaking peeks at their phones.

Go into a dance studio and test this theory. I've never been let down yet! While you're at it, which type of dancer are you?

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

"I don't want to do things. I want to do not things."

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
