"One thing I do NOT miss about being young is the misery of dating, there are some aspects of my school days I get nostalgic about. Like living with a houseful of friends in college, staying up all night, and having extracurricular activities.That last one is one of the things I miss most about my time as a young thing--clubs and sports and plays to be a part of. Of course, I know plenty of grown ups who join kickball or softball teams (bonus: some have met boyfriends at such activities!), but I&amp;#x27;m one of those uninvolved adults who keeps vowing to get back into old favorite activities, but never does. Though to be fair, sports were never and will never be my thing. You probably wouldn&amp;#x27;t guess it from my short, not-so-delicate frame, but I was obsessed with ballet as a kid. Obsessed as in I took lessons for 13 years, drove an hour each way three time a week for classes in high school, attended summer programs with professional companies, and cried when I saw Mikhail Baryshnikov perform, not that I just liked the pretty costumes--although, that too, obvs. I took a few classes in colleges, but eventually school work, my social life, and let&amp;#x27;s be honest, my freshman 15 took over and I stopped dancing. But to this day, I still really miss the group setting and how fun it was to spend time with a group of girls who all loved to dance! This is basically not at all exactly how I looked as a young dancer. Even though I&amp;#x27;m not much of a singer (could someone please remind me of that next time I&amp;#x27;ve had several cocktails and I&amp;#x27;m at a karaoke bar?) so I wasn&amp;#x27;t a cappella-ing my way around college, this weekend I&amp;#x27;m dying to hit the movie theaters and see Pitch Perfect to relive the glory days of hanging out with friends doing the thing you all love, preparing for a big show. Doesn&amp;#x27;t that movie look like the most fun ever? Maybe it will inspire me to get involved with a new activity or finally sign up for a dance class again! Now it&amp;#x27;s your turn to reminisce and tell me what extracurriculars you used to love: Back in the day (or now, if you&amp;#x27;re still doing it!) what were your favorite activities? Were you a dancer too? Singer? Theater junkie? Major jock? Wasn&amp;#x27;t it so much fun? Do you still keep up with your hobby? Making last minute weekend plans?
