“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth."-William W. Purkey

I love going out dancing, but not all people enjoy it as much as I do. Going out dancing can be intimidating for a lot of people. Thoughts like I don't know how or I'm not good enough, are many people's excuses, but that needs to stop. You will never learn if you never try. There are so many people that have taken the chance to learn how to dance, and they are more than happy to teach new people.

Men:

Most women love to dance. They love to be swept off their feet and led around the dance floor. Those girls that stand on the side of the dance floor, are not just there to watch other people dance. They are waiting for some guy to come and spin them around the floor. Dancing doesn't have to lead into relationships, but it can. So even if you don't love dancing, remember that she might. Men, remember that you are the leader, that means women expect you to ask them to dance, don't but don't be intimidated when she drags you onto the floor. Don't refuse, give everyone at lease a chance.

Ladies:

If he asks you to dance, just do it. Try to use the "One-Dance Policy." This means dance with every guy that asks, at least once. Be polite, don't destroy his confidence. Find your own confidence as well and throw the men off guard, ask him to dance every once in awhile.

“You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.” Benjamin Mee, We Bought a Zoo

To sum it up, life is short so do something spontaneous and out of your comfort zone. Change it up every once in a while. Even if you aren't sure of yourself, forget about what others think. Learn to trust your partner and to be open-minded to try new things. So go out there and try it. Just dance!

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
