20 Things You Know to Be True When You Go From "One of the Guys" to a Sorority Girl

I don't own or even like Lilly, I scream at the TV during UGA Games, and I don't understand the hype of Beyonce.

20 Things You Know to Be True When You Go From "One of the Guys" to a Sorority Girl

Growing up, I can remember feeling like just one of the guys all the time. There were times where I was one out of only maybe 3 girls on a tee-ball team, and the same went for my youth group and my friend group- a majority of guys and a couple of girls. Sometimes I secretly think my dad wanted me to be a boy, as he signed me up for Greg Maddox baseball camps and taught me about cars and hunting and everything else a dad should teach his....son. I don't really consider myself a tomboy after elementary school, as I became a cheerleader, debutante, and had a "clique" of my five best girl friends all throughout high school. But going from little interaction with girls to having almost 200 sisters has taught me that I still may be somewhat of a tomboy at heart.

1. I would still rather wear sneakers, athletic shorts, and t-shirs over anything else, anytime.

2. I catch myself rolling my eyes at 70 percent of today's fashion trends.

3. I am sarcastic with a dry sense of humor, and I have to remind myself that not all my sisters appreciate my humor as much as I do.

4. I had converse before converse were cool, and they are grungy and dirty and that's how i like it.

5. I almost always skip the fruity cocktails, a beer sounds good.

6. Throwing my hair in a Braves cap is the best I can do on a weekday.

7. Dark jeans count for Sunday best at Chapter, right???

8. ESPN notifications take superiority over Instagram notifications during college football season.

9. Before any social outing, the first thing I ask is "cute or bum?" with hopes of bum every single time.

10. I refuse to take pictures for longer than like 45 seconds. Sorry.

11. I hear phrases like "yaaasss" "AF" and "lit" and roll my eyes so hard they could get stuck there at any minute.

12. The only thing Lilly you'll ever catch me owning is the planner. It's a good planner.

13. If you take up my Saturday anytime September through November, there better be a TV and it better have the Dawgs playing.

14. With my crafting skills, I will never get a little. That's it I'm buying everything.

15. Pumpkin Spice anything is gross. Just nasty.

16. My guy friends from home always pull the jokes about me paying for friends, I don't even challenge it anymore.

17. The fact that people enjoy shopping and do it for fun really confuses me. I go in, get what I need, and get out as fast as possible.

18. I'm always the first one ready, I have mastered the 45 minute shower-hair-makeup-clothes process.

19. My music taste is a joke to my sisters- yall keep your Beyonce and Taylor Swift, and give me some 90s country.

20. Joining a sorority is one of the best decisions I've ever made and no matter how different we all may be, my sisters have my heart.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
