Have you ever gone to the gym and wanted to be able to have fun not working on the machines? There is a fun class that everyone can do which is Zumba!

Zumba is a form of exercise where you do not have to have any dance experience to do it. It is a big dance party where you can invite your friends and have a good time. There are many different types of classes that you can take with it. You can find Zumba at a gym or at any location. The class varies in times in the morning afternoon or evening which is convenient for everyone to be at. In the Zumba class there are various types of dance that are incorporated with it such as jazz, hip hop, salsa and many others. At gyms they are part of the combination when you get the membership. It is not expensive and it varies on the instructor too.

I go to Zumba all the time because it is fun and great stress reliever as well. When I first did Zumba I did not know what to expect but now I do. Sometimes Zumba instructors use the same routine and music every week and add a song. I enjoy the music that the different instructors use that I go to. When you are at Zumba, make sure to take water breaks when needed. Just have fun with it and if you mess up on the moves don't worry about it. All different instructors use different music and different movements. Some of the movements are the same but if you go every week you will know the routines inside and out. Most places you can drop in and try it out to see if Zumba is right for you.

Zumba is not for everyone but if you like it stick to it. I am a dancer and the moves come to me easy which really cool. The first time I went to Zumba I did not know the moves but it came to me the following week I went. I try to do Zumba at least once a week so that I can keep it up. If you love Zumba so much you can get certified by going on the website and signing up for the location that is closer to you. This summer I am getting certified as a Zumba instructor next month and I am excited. I have heard that it's so much fun but I will be sore after the long day of training but it's worth it. I already have been asked to sub a class when needed when I am certified. Once I am certified I will know what to expect and go from there. When I am certified it is always great to go to other instructors classes to support them too. It is always nice to have friends like that and to show them maybe some of your moves. I am so glad that I have the opportunity to do this because I love doing it so much. Zumba will be my side job too which is a nice thing to have.

Think of everything that you've heard about college... and completely forget it.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Your mom: you can't live with her, but you can't live without her. You love your mom, but she is insanely predictable. Here is a list of things your mom has probably done.

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
