Everyone is made differently and uniquely; however, when you stick a bunch of girls in a small living environment like ORU, we start to pick up each others' habits. Here are some of the shared interests that seem to be prevalent in most ORU girls.
1. Loves to hammock
There's just something about hanging from trees and feeling like you're floating that's oddly amusing.
2. Knows every coffee shop in town
To study, catch up with friends or simply to read, coffee shops are a girl's love language3. Owns Chacos
We love to show off our wicked tan lines and our cute nail polish. There's just no happier feeling.4. Worships the Myers Briggs test
It's all about knowing who you are. Girls like to know what type of person everyone is so we can relate to them better. Or to know if they're compatible with our personalities.5. Loves C.S. Lewis
From academic papers to conversations over coffee, C.S. Lewis is the best writer to quote.6. Has a nose ring
This is our way of showing we're a bit edgy but classy at the same time. It's all about mind, spirit and body right?7. Has a blog
Women have a voice. This is the simplest way to communicate our thoughts. Boys, take notes.
8. Plans out life on Pinterest
Pinterest has everything we need to plan out every detail of our lives. It's also every girl's way of asking "Am I cute yet?" And of course we all have a few boards that we keep hidden so no one steals our ideas.9. Gets an inspirational tattoo
Tattoos are a way of making your body unique and of sharing with the world something that is meaningful and personal to you.
10. Wants a ring by spring
As stereotypical as this is, it's so true. Every girl's dream is to get engaged in the spring, usually by the Prayer Garden.
Yes, a bunch of these qualities are amusing and popular right now, but don't forget to be your own person. Wear what you want, do what fascinates you, go on different adventures. Just be true to who you are.
