10 Things College Students Do In Their Free Time
http://blog.sleepdallas.com/naps-friend-or-foe/

Before I began college, I imagined I'd have no free time. It seemed as if college students were always busy doing something important and efficient with their lives. However, now that I myself am a college student, I can see my thoughts were completely wrong. College students can go days at a time without having to study, do homework, or even (while I do not recommend it) attend class. With all this free time on our hands, there are several activities we college students enjoy participating in to pass the time away.

1. Eating... a lot.

Get asked to go eat lunch two times in one day? Why not? It's not like you had anything going on anyways. College students have access to free food all over campus, and you can bet we are going to take advantage of that.

2. Spending money we don't have.

Two things go hand in hand when you're a college student: constantly needing to purchase something and constantly being broke.

3. Staying up all night binge watching Netflix.

College students see finishing a whole season of a TV series in a week as an opportunity, not a challenge.

4. Taking naps.

Since we're up all night watching Netflix, we must find other times in the day to catch up on sleep.

5. Scrolling through social media.

If you don't share at least one cute puppy video on Facebook a day are you really a college student?

6. Going out.

Much of a college student's free time can also be spent attending parties.

7. Having FOMO when we decide not to go out.

Sometimes, when college students decide to spend their free time binge-watching Netflix and scrolling through social media, they regret the decision to stay in for the night and develop FOMO, also known as fear of missing out.

8. Questioning what we are doing with our life.

Are you really in college if you don't have a breakdown every now and then about what you are going to do when you get out into the real world?

9. Complaining.

"Oh, you had two tests today? I had two test AND an essay due today. I win."

10. Procrastinating.

Watch and learn as we manage to pull all nighters in the library and write a 10 page paper in a matter of hours.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

LaGrange College

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.

Your Friend Group, As Told By Disney Princesses

Each Disney Princess has their own personality, and chances are you've got a friend in your group to match it.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning. No matter how functionally dysfunctional your friend group may be, if you're anything like me, you feel absolutely blessed to have found such a wonderful group of humans to call "your people." Here is what your friend group might look like if they were Disney princesses (and that wasn't just a thing you all pretended in your heads):
