11 Things College Students Are Looking Forward To Over the Summer

1. Home cooked meals

Three months of no dining hall food: my taste buds can hardly believe it.

2. Unlimited mom hugs

The ones you always wanted when you got your grade back after a bad midterm. Gotta make up for lost time.

3. Weather I can deal with

I just want some weather that I'm used to.

4. Friends!!!

Time to catch up on every crazy thing that's happened to you in the last nine months. It'll take you the full summer to get every story.

5. My bed

The comfort of a good mattress and not just a mattress topper.

6. Pets

I can finally cuddle my cat and secretly let my dogs sleep on my bed again.

7. Sleeping in

Lord knows I can't do this at school. I will make it my goal to get back all of the hours I missed out on.

8. My car

I mean yeah I'm tired from not sleeping, but I'm also tired of having to find a ride all the time. My beautiful car has been sitting in the driveway all this time and I cannot wait to be back behind the driver's wheel.

9. Cable

No more waiting for things to come out online or on Netflix. I can finally watch my tv shows when the rest of the world does and not have to avoid spoilers on social media.

10. Local restaurants

The worst part about leaving home is losing my "loyal customer" status to my favorite food places. I have every intention of achieving this level once again.

11. Reuniting with my family

Siblings and parents and whatever else you have or don't have. It's nice when everyone is back together and can be weird together once again.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

LaGrange College

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.
