#dance major problems

As a dance major, I end up spending around 20 hours a week in class. That should be 20 credits, which is insane, and no one would dare do that to themselves. Oh, and I also have homework eating up time. But since I’m only earning barely enough credits to be a full-time student, everyone else thinks I’m exaggerating when I talk about how stressed I am, how I’m in school or doing schoolwork from the moment I get up until I go to bed, etc. It doesn’t help that I’m studying dance, which people tend to assume is an easy major.

And here I thought being a dance major would prepare me for a professional dance career. I’m a senior, and I’ve worked really hard these past few years, but I still look like a waltzing llama when I dance.

If you college graduates out there think your degree is useless, just be glad you weren’t a dance major.

What bothers me about being a dance major is that absences and sitting out affect your grade. So basically, if you’re injured, tough luck. You either dance, or you’re punished. It’s unfair. I have a few injuries that I’ve danced with for months because of this policy.

My knees are gonna be sooooo bruised tomorrow.
