The Harlem Shake

I'm assuming most of you have heard of the Harlem Shake by now?

If not... you're either not immensely engaged in various platforms of social media like the current generation is... or you are not up to date with the current "hip" things going on in the world ;)

allow me to enlighten those of you who are completely lost.

As CBS puts it: "It is the newest dance phenomenon that has taken over the internet"
Here's a video. Watch it. Then understand it. Or at least try to ;)

What do I think of the dance?
Well. I'm not going to lie. At first I had absolutely no idea how to process it. I saw no point in it and couldnt wrap my mind around the craziness.

But maybe that is the point. To not be a point. It's all fun random craziness. What's not to like about that? haha

So anyways. I'm posting this today to announce that this afternoon, I participated in my first harlem shake dance on Ball State's campus where I go to school. About 200 kids showed up at the scramble light, which is an intersection on campus that allows students to cross within a time period of 30 seconds, and were filmed doing this new dance craze. Once the video of my school doing it is posted on youtube, I'll share it here... but until then, here's a collage haha

My favorite part was seeing a multitude of fantastically randomly dressed college students come together in one place. I wouldn't say I was crazy enough to go half naked like some... but that'd be me up there wrapped in a plaid blanket with the lampshade on my head. I'll let you be the judge of my weirdness ;) And even with that blanket I was still freezing! I dont know how some of the guys did it. It was snowing and at least 30 degrees.

Oh college. :)
