15 Reasons to Love Yourself

Self love can be hard, but it's so worth it. Even the little things.

15 Reasons to Love Yourself
Delaney Malloy

We've all been in those moods where we feel like giving up. We can always find the little things we hate about ourselves. I know, it's often hard to look in a mirror and say, "Wow, I really love myself." The truth is that the more you love yourself, the less negativity you have in your world. I want to spread more positivity for everyone, so here are 15 reasons to love yourself.

1. You are one of a kind.

Even if you were cloned, you would still be original.

2. The only person you have to be is you.

Stop trying to adapt yourself to be like a celebrity or movie character, just own being you.

3. The only person you need to impress is yourself.

Other people don't like your style? Forget them. They think your makeup is dumb? Put on some more of that purple lipstick and rock it.

4. You're your best supporter.

Confidence is key.

5. Only you know exactly how to cheer yourself up.

Get yourself some Ben & Jerry's and binge watch Gossip Girl.

6. You're the only one who know every single one of your thoughts.

If other people knew ALL your thoughts it would get a little scary.

7. You can play your favorite movie without having to ask what it is.

So pop in some Harry Potter and pretend you're a wizard.

8. You can also order your favorite food without having to ask where from.

Of course order, because it always tastes better when you don't have to cook it.

9. You can count on yourself for sharing eye rolls with yourself.

At a family party and your distant cousin has yet another new "boyfriend"? You know how you're feeling.

10. You are literally 1 in 7 billion.

Statistics don't lie.

11. You know exactly how hard you worked for your accomplishments.

Worked your butt off for something? Go you!

12. You are the number one person you can count on.

When it all comes down to it, you gotta trust yourself.

13. You've always had your back.

You've stood up for yourself when nobody else did. You know what? You didn't even need them.

14. You know how to work your selfie angles.

You've taken so many pictures of yourself, you know which one is perfect for Instagram.

15. Finally, "There's nothing more badass than being yourself." -Darren Criss

Being yourself takes courage, but it's worth it.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

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.
