Dancer for Life
My roommate freshman and sophomore year Maegan is a dancer. Originally it was her major but she changed it to her minor and added business as her major so that one day she could open her own dance studio and teach younger kids.
She was constantly hammering and ripping her ballet shoes and using a match to burn the edges when we were living in the dorms together and it would have a terrible smell. And she would look up danceware online and show me tutus and tights and leggings.
I always thought it was interesting as soon as she got a new leotard or tights she would rip them up so they were more comfortable. I guess when you are dancing around in basically nothing you want it to fit right ha. But she would come home from rehearsal (or rehearsals when she had like 5 a day) and she couldn't even go to the bathroom because she had like 8 random layers on including tights under her leotard and then shorts over and leg warmers and sweat pants over that, I would just laugh at her as she jumped around and had to pee. And then finally struggled to get out of her leotard and millions of layer like 2 hours later when it was clearly an emergency by then.
But I really do think that her dream to open her own dance studio is cool and hopefully it does happen one day for her. She has been taking dance all of her life (since she could walk) and she teaches little kids ballet and jazz over the summers.
I think the business part she thought she wouldn't like but after she started taking classes she found out that she really does, so I think that will help a lot towards her goal. Also her current dance teacher is talking about how she wants her to take over the studio after she graduates so it will be nice to have the experience of owning a dance studio and operating it before she actually has to go out on her own and buy it. This way she can figure out how to handle all of the little things before she jumps into a serious commitment with her own money, and opens her own studio.
I don't live with her anymore, but we are still really good friends and actually my roommate for next school year is a dancer too (and friends with Maegan) so it'll probably be a déjà vu of dancing in the kitchen.
