People often don’t think about the stresses summer brings.

Homework, studying and balancing responsibilities make the school year stressful. However, people don’t often think about the stresses summer brings. From getting bikini ready to traveling to new and exciting destinations, here is a comprehensive list of the reasons summer stresses me out.

1. The pressure to be super fit

2. The pressure to leave summer with a tan that will last you for the next six months

3. The pressure to get a tan, yet still wear sunscreen because protecting your skin is important

4. The pressure to find the perfect swimsuit

5. On a similar note, the pressure to wear cute clothing in general

6. The pressure to still look cute when it’s HOT AS HELL outside and all your makeup melts off and your hair sticks to the back of your neck

7. The pressure to party like you’ve literally never partied before

8. The pressure to not eat all the cold, sweet things in the freezer

9. The pressure to not overheat

10. The pressure to find the perfect summer fling

11. The pressure to do something awesome

12. The pressure to travel somewhere awesome

13. The pressure to preserve awesome moments and post them on social media

14. The pressure to maintain your lawn

15. The pressure not to sleep. A lot.

16. The pressure to work so you’re not poor during the school year

17. The pressure to make new friends

18. The pressure to get in freezing cold water

19. The pressure to not burn things when you BBQ

20. And let’s not forget the pressure to just kick back and relax!

Despite all stresses, I hope you have a great summer!

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.
