Lifetime’s reality show " Bring It !", although it is not new, is a good show that both girls and young women can get behind. "Bring It!" is a reality television show that is based in Jackson, Mississippi. On the show we find Ms. Diana Williams, or Ms. D as she’s frequently called, and her dance team, the Dancing Dolls. Ms. D and her Dolls are a team of dancers that compete in hip hop majorette competitions. Throughout the show, we see how each week Ms. D and her girls battle against their rivals and try to come out on top victorious. The dancing Dolls consists of girls ranging from ages 10 to 17. Along with these Dolls, we find their smaller counterparts, the Baby Dancing Dolls, who are all under the age of 10.

Each week, the Dancing Dolls dance in competitions with Stand Battle being their main focus. Stand Battle is where two teams face each other and alternate stands, which can last for at least one 8-count or longer, called by the captains depending on the opponent’s previous stand. Along with this, the team also occasionally competes in another category called Creative Dance where the team develops their own interpretation to that week’s theme.

While the girls are hard at work in the Dollhouse, where the Dolls practice, we meet the Dancing Dall Parents. The Dancing Doll Parents (DDP) are the Dolls’ main support group and biggest fans! If you hear someone screaming, “DD4L!” really loudly, then it’s more than likely a DDP. Although DDP may not like or agree with each and every decision that Ms. Diana makes, they do respect and understand that she is the best for their daughters both personally and emotionally. Regardless of the fuss they put up they still remain diligent in supporting their girls.

Although the Dolls may not win every time, they still remain a fierce competitor in the competition. They continue to come up with new things, and as a result, their rivals do their best to remain vigilant.

The Dolls main rivals include:

  • The YCDT Superstarz

  • Purple Diamonds (an in-town rival team)

  • Infamous Dancerettes

  • Divas of Olive Branch

One important component that their rivals should really pay much attention to is the way that Ms. Diana continues to strike passion into the girls. She remains the backbone to the team and believes in them and what they're capable of. She teaches them how to be humble and yet proud of what they accomplish. Through her, the girls learn that there is nothing to fear, even failure and that nothing can beat you as long as you try and do the best that you can do. I think that Ms. Diana remains a stronghold and an example to these girls on how to be smart, beautiful, passionate, business-savvy, determined, and respectful women.

"Bring It!" is a great show! Even if you may not prefer reality television, it still is something that you should give your time. Watch how a woman’s constant example leads young girls to pursing victory in both dance and their future endeavors. Everyone check out the Dancing Dolls on their show "Bring It!" on Lifetime, Fridays at 9/8 c!

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza.

I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
