3 Ideas To Begin Journaling


1. Everyday Activities

An important skill to learn when entering school or just trying to figure out how time management works is to record every daily activity. Every task, like brushing your teeth, eating, or even grocery shopping could be put in a time management journal. Include each activity and how much time (in minutes, hours, etc.) it takes you to perform this task. Are you spending hours on Facebook when you know there is a major exam you could be studying for? Do you spend too much time reading that one magazine when you could get ahead and prepare for work the next morning? These are just some examples of what you could jot down. In about a week you may figure out what you are spending too much or too little time on.

2. Feelings

I know, this is a little cliche and mushy, but it has been proven that writing and explaining your feelings is therapeutic. It doesn't have to be every day, but when a wave of emotion comes that maybe can't be controlled in a safe way, write your feelings down instead.

3. Favorite books/movies/tv shows

This can be really fun and even lead to you finding more cool shows, movies and books to read and watch. Posting these reviews can lead to connections between people who are interested in the same medium. Who knows-- you may find your new best internet friend through a book or show.

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.

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.
