Shall We Dance?

Most people get excited when Tuesday comes because it marks an end to their Monday blues. I, however, get excited for Tuesdays for a completely different reason.

First off, it's noon and I'm still trying to decide what to wear to class. This does pose a problem, though, because I always dress up on Tuesdays. Which brings us to point two of why Tuesdays are fantastic.

Dance. It's essential to being happy and healthy in my opinion. I've been dancing since I was six years old, but I discovered the joys of ballroom when I began my college career. Here are my top reasons why everyone should at the very least dabble in ballroom:

1. The BEST way to socialize with your friends is by conversing while twirling around the floor.
2. Exercise (if you're doing it right...and even if you're just doing it for fun, at least you're up and moving around)
3. Learning to do new moves teaches you to think critically.
4. You become more graceful and poised. While this sounds awful to most men, you should know that ladies like their men to be slightly less clumsy than they start off.
5. Attending monthly dances in your community gives you an opportunity to dress up. This gives ladies an excuse to buy that new dress you thought you'd never wear anywhere.
6. Knowing some moves that look really awesome to everyone watching you at your prom or high school reunion or any other formal event.
7. Being around a ballroom crowd introduces you to new people who are perhaps more classy than your usual crowd. (I'm by no means saying that people who don't dance aren't classy or that all people who dance are classy. All I mean is that you can make a new group of friends to spend the evening with a classy air about you.)
8. For Ladies: You get to twirl around and feel really flirty (and this presents the opportunity to buy that circle skirt you really want...just remember your bloomers)!
9. For Gentlemen: You get to hold your special lady close, or you get to meet new ladies and hold them close, depending on your current state of relationship status.
10. Lastly, it's the most fun you will EVER have. I guarantee it.

Now I must go learn about Econometrics. It sounds terrifying, but so far it's a really interesting subject.

Witticism of the Day: Productivity is great, but sometimes you need to just sleep in, wake up slowly, eat lunch before noon, listen to your music really loud, dance around while applying your makeup, get dressed up really cute, and then go to Walmart for no apparent reason. Beware, though, you'll find that DVD you've been wanting in the $5 bin and end up spending the rest of your day at home after you put in all that effort to get ready.
