Re-Writing the End Of Dirty Dancing

Did Baby ever make it to the Peace Corps? Did Johnny trade in his 57 Chevy?

"Dirty Dancing" is one of those movies that will never get old. Sweet, ambitious humanitarian Baby meets rough, struggling dancer Johnny and the sparks fly.

Fireworks were bound to go off with these two opposites who overcome their barriers to meet in the middle and make a pretty remarkable dance duo.

But, would their relationship have lasted in the real world? I think it could have.

For anyone who has ever wondered what life might have been like if Baby and Johnny had lived happily ever after, read on.

1. Johnny follows Baby to Mount Holyoke.

Being a dutiful boyfriend, Johnny accompanied Baby to Mount Holyoke where she does indeed, receive her degree in economics. While there, he supports her by working odd jobs and eventually, Baby convinces him to go to college too. He picks a local school, and gets help from Dr. Houseman, since he was kind of a douche to him initially.

When they aren't working or taking classes, they spend their time mamboing in Johnny's living room since Baby lived in a dorm after all, sort-of, uhm, mostly, err, only when her parents came to town.

2. Baby passes on the Peace Corps.


At this point, their roles reverse once Baby graduates. She decided against the Peace Corps in lieu of staying to support Johnny. It is safer to stay at home, so she takes a job where she can help the economically-deprived in her local area while volunteering for world-programs that aid underprivileged nations all the same.

Johnny decides to major in education, as teaching is something he is good at. They still dance, but more so in Johnny's kitchen. Baby has a roommate since she isn't married and it's the 60's.

3. Johnny keep his Chevy, but buys a practical car for Baby.


Johnny buys Baby a car for all her hard work and upon his graduation. At this point, all of Baby's sacrifices have paid off. She realizes that she wants to spend her life with Johnny and vice versa. They dance pretty much everywhere upon this discovery.

4. Johnny and Baby become Mr. and Mrs. Castle


They knew from the first tango or meringue that they were meant for one another. Sure, they had to work on some significant issues and thankfully, they each took their life in stride. All the while, challenging the other to become better and constantly improving.

They raise a gaggle of offspring who they lovingly teach an assortment of dance moves to. They inspire them to be whatever they want and to oppose societal walls wherever they confront them.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
