5 Reasons Not To Drop Out Now That Midterms Are Upon Us

We're all kind of feeling this way right now...

...and it's not even close to over.

Midterms are tough, and we're all exhausted. It's hard to feel very positive about where you are and what you're doing when you feel a little like you never get a break. I just wanted to give 5 happy reminders for why we're at UNC, and why you probably shouldn't drop out (even though you might want to right now).

1. Midterms will end. And when they do...

...we're going to celebrate. You don't want to miss that.

2. We're all in this together.

Just think, if you weren't suffering through midterms too, you wouldn't understand why that girl from your ECON 101 recitation fell asleep on her laptop, pen in hand. We need to go through this together or not at all.

3. Studying means jamming out.

Make a new playlist! Jam to it! Fear no one in Davis or the UL, because you can head-bob with the best of them! Just be careful in Wilson, or risk having your worst fear realized - making the librarian mad.

4. Sleep deprivation makes everything funnier.

So even if you can't laugh about midterms, you can definitely laugh about how your friend just dropped his pen on the ground at 1:47 a.m. Or about that YouTube video you found in your 37th bout of procrastination.

5. Last, but definitely not least...

WE WON THE NATTY!

So, basically, even the worst day isn't that bad.

Good luck with midterms everybody - you're going to crush them!

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

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.
