When your life revolves around something for so long, you tend to not realize how much it impacts your every day life. This is for my fellow dancers who have spent more time in the studio than at home, and who have been pointing their toes since kindergarten. Even if you have retired the ballet shoes, all past and present dancers should recognize these signs of growing up a dancer.

1. You can throw your hair into a bun in .2 seconds

And you impress yourself with how long it manages it stay. I mean, it should be able to get you through a fouette section, right?

2. Tutus...so many tutus

And although you haven't worn them since you were 6, there is no way you're getting rid of them.

3. "Yes, I can do the splits"

"No, I will not do them right now."

4. Bobby pins are a sacred item that must be cherished

Because you've lost hundreds in your lifetime.

5. The freezer aisle doubles as a stage

You don't need to be at the studio to practice!

6. Most of your friends are dance friends

You already spend a majority of your time with these people; why not become best friends?
