11 Thoughts During Sorority Recruitment: As Told By "Sisters"
Fast Company

National sorority recruitment has to be the one of the most fun, yet intimidating, experiences that for a college freshman. It’s two weeks of girl flirting and often repeating the same facts over and over again. The events are long, and by the end of the day, your face hurts from smiling so much. It is as if you are taking a whole separate class that involves memorizing names and putting those names to faces.

You spend time outside of rush events researching the sororities. You become a detective trying to figure out things like how much dues are, and what are the pledging processes like. It is as if bid day decides the fate of the rest of your college career. Preference of sorority is definitely up there for one of biggest life decisions you will ever make. As all the sisters tell you about how much they wish they could go back to rush, you, on the other hand, have 700 thoughts racing across your mind every second of the day. Here are just a few of them as told by the characters of the new movie, “Sisters.”

1. The outfit I am wearing has to be perfect.

2. I have to let all my weird out before I get there so I don't scare people away.

3. I need to step out of my comfort zone and not stand in the corner by the food tonight.

4. Hold on, hold on, I have to quickly look over everything I know about the sorority so far.

5. My inner emotions when someone tells me the love the same sorority as me.

6. On the outside, I'm pretending to be happy for them so no one knows that I am actually crazy.

7. Hopefully, everything will go my way today and nothing I say will backfire on me.

8. I definitely don't think I should have said that. By the look she just gave me, she probably thinks I am insane now.

9. Don't bring up anything about parties -- I can't show my raging alcoholic side yet.

10. I have to pretend to be amazed by hearing the same things over and over again.

11. After today, I no longer have the motivation to do anything and just want my bed.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
