In the midst of school work, a job that is killing you, or some real-life drama you can't seem to escape from, let me be the first to say it is especially difficult to remember to search for the good in life when it seems like life is outscoring you 500,000 to 0. I can honestly say that I always forget, ALWAYS, to find the good in everyday, but maybe that is just what we need to power through some tough times. Here are 100 things to make you say "Thanks life" instead of feeling like it has gotten the best of you.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

LaGrange College

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.
