Dancing For The Soul

The feelings of a dancer.

Dancers are artist

If a stage were a canvas they would leave behind a beautiful mural

Eliciting happiness, excitement, sadness, anger, thrills and power

But all in glory and creation

You are with the music, a piece of it and the dance

You are raw

You are not human. Strictly dancer

A performer

You are color and life

Your body may be lost in the music but your identity is completely found

The more passionately you move the more flowers bloom inside you

Your intensity radiates so far it's impossible for anyone to ignore it

When you cannot escape anywhere else you can go to dance

It revives and gives you are a reason to smile again

Whether you have all the technique in the world

Or just enjoy the freedom

It is all fun, all good

There is no need to think just dance

Just feel the music and go

Something inside you is unleashed and you have no desire to tie it back up

When words fail dance does not

It speaks louder than you ever could

Dances are stories

They have their own life, their own odyssey

They tell comedy and tragedy

Bringing pain-relief and strength

Dance teachers have brought a deeper meaning to your life

Something not entirely explainable, but completely felt with every fiber

A way of expression, of presentation

A happiness amongst the people that have seen growth in your movement

A safe haven where as long as you put your heart into your art all will be well

When the world beats down in terror it is a shield

You could go in with angst and come out with euphoria

The idea of stopping is gut wrenching

No matter the blood, bruises and pains

It is all for a greater purpose

For your soul's expression of passion

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
