Going home for the holidays is cool and all, but who will I hang out with for a month?

5 Reasons Why I'll Miss My Sorority Sisters During Break
Haley Charbonneau

Having sorority sisters means that you have 60 or more friends to hang out with whenever you have free time. Whether you need a lunch date or just someone to sit in the library with, you will most definitely have a friend there with you. But, when winter break rolls around, that means that it is time for everyone to go home to their families for the holidays. That's cool and all, but who are you supposed to hang out with? There are countless reasons why I will miss my sisters, but here are five of them.

1. Weekly Meetings

Although there is usually some sort of event every week where you know you'll see sisters, weekly meetings are the only time that you know you will get to see all of your sisters in one place at one time, even if it's just for an hour or two.

2. Weekly Ice Cream and Slurpee Dates

Having 60 or more sorority sisters means that it is extremely easy to find someone to get your weekly ice cream or Slurpee fix with. When all of your sisters go home for a month, that limits the people you have who are down to make a trip with you at any hour of the day and that is just rough.

3. IHOP Adventures

If you are looking for someone who is down for some IHOP, you can bet that there is always at least five to ten sisters who are ready to go the second you ask them to. IHOP is an important andessential part of life and it is great to have people to share that with.

4. Study Dates

Although we all know we have been dying for the semester to be done, not being able to have a study date with a sister may actually make you miss having classes for a month.

5. You can't have your best friends with you at all times

Your sisters become your family and your home away from home. Having to leave them for a month means that they aren't just a short walk or drive away anymore, and it may feel like the longest month ever. But, when you come back from break and you have tons to catch up on, it will have made that whole month worth it.

Sorority sisters become what keeps you sane when school is making you crazy and they become the people who you always want adventures with. If putting up with everything college throws at you is what you have to take to have your sisters, then it is totally worth it.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

A book by the name of "The Stranger."

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
