"Pitch Perfect" Friendships

It is a rare occasion that a single movie can nearly exactly capture a particular experience. One of the closest representations of the college experience, especially the process of making friends, is "Pitch Perfect." Somehow, in an hour and a half, it is completely able to chronicle the process of making new friends, which every college student, especially the freshmen, can relate to.

First, hey perfectly capture the roommate situation. Roommates, like all people, can range from perfectly harmless to downright scary. Hopefully, you've landed somewhere in between.


You might find yourself at a party, sometime soon after. Especially at Sewanee, this may be the easiest way to interact with people that you don't live with. Get out, meet new people, and have fun. Just make sure to know your limits when it comes to drinking.

You'll often feel the urge to find people who truly understand you as a person. When that is the case, you might have to go out of your comfort zone or try something totally new, a sport or activity perhaps, but who knows. You might end up love something you've never even heard of before.

Meeting new people can be an awkward, if not terrifying, event for a lot of people. "Pitch Perfect" teaches us that it is important to actually get out and try to find somewhere where you feel comfortable and people that you can feel comfortable with. College is your home away from home now, so you'll thank yourself when you finally meet people you have something in common with, even if it's just for a minute. Maybe you'll become fast friends.

Once you've found those people who let you be yourself and love you for it, that is where you are meant to be. These are the friends who will be around for years to come. And, if you're lucky, you just might make some amazing memories along the way.


Just hope that those memories don't involve flying Mexican food...

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
