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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.

I'll admit it, I have a condition called RBF or, if you will, Resting Bitch Face.

Anna Kendrick, poor Kristen Stewart, the Queen of England are all life-long sufferers of RBF. Victoria Beckham even made a career out of it! And though it's usually used to describe women, some men are also afflicted. Kanye West is the best example of this.
