and excuse me, while I step outside and kill myself (while wearing a cut, ripped, off-the-shoulder sweatshirt that I used to wear as a dress back in the day). The 80s were a great time for movies and music. When the two merged, it was pure magic: Footloose, Flashdance, Dirty Dancing, Beverly Hills Cops, Romancing the Stone, etc. Fabulous artists like Phil Collins, Pointers Sisters, Billy Ocean, Irene Cara made the movies even more memorable with their theme songs. I really didn't care about the controversy

“Julia, your dancing career is over” said the surgeon. Dancing was and still is my passion, but after undergoing back surgery, it was no longer an option. Due to scoliosis, my spine was fused from top to bottom and rods where placed on either side for stability. Twisting, bending, jumping, lifting, and especially an advanced hip hop dance class were all out of the question for quite some time. As a 13 year old girl, this was devastating. Taking this non-dancing lifestyle in a pretty harsh way,

(1) Believe it or not, I have been told a few times that I am quite a good dancer. Shocker right? I’m not really the type of person you would associate good dancing with. And yes, I am speaking the truth. I have in fact been told I am a good dancer. But truth be told, I’m actually quite bad, I just embrace it and dance anyway. I have wanted to go to a dance class for the longest time to actually improve my moves. I have yet to do that, and probably never will. But ask anyone on the hockey team, I

As Nora

The life of a female athlete My stereotype Female athletes are weak. Female athletes are lesbians. Female athletes showboat too much. These are stereotypes female athletes hear on a day to day basis. Stereotypes are a horrible thing. My stereotype which is an athletic girl basically is just one of the many I can be but this one definitely my main one. People say things like athletic girls are weak and all they do is like to exercise. It is

great shows and great performers, and I couldn’t wait to be a part of it. We would be performing a Broadway Revue-two acts with musical sets from different big hit musicals, some from Broadway themselves. Musicals such as Chorus Line, Dear Edwina, Footloose, Heathers/Carrie, Book of Mormon, and more. One of the fun parts about this show is we were to have a live band, and my dad would be the drummer! This would be our first show onstage together, and I couldn’t wait.

would also have to deal with the moral and religious implications that may result from the choice they would make. Wallace’s characters seemed to have to answer to many others for their actions, unlike Hemingway’s characters who just appeared to be footloose and fancy

The 1980s was a time where a lot of change took place. Some of these changes were pretty quirky including the movies, music, fashion, and politics of the time. Most people were ready for something different and that is what the 1980s presented. It became eccentric with music and fashion from Madonna and Cyndi Lauper, bands like Guns n’ Roses and Metallica, Reagan’s changes to the economy, Nintendo, and bright colors and big hair. The impact of this decade continues on in today’s society. There are

someone who did not like to be told what to do and always went his own way. The author enters a passage that infers that living in the wild is the way to free oneself from the restrictions of society that states, “ It should not be denied...the being footloose has always exhilarated us. It is associated in our minds with escape from history and oppression and law and irksome obligations, with absolute freedom, and the road has always led west (Wallace Stegner 15).” Chris was against the government and
