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.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
