Never in my entire life would I have ever thought that I would be in a sorority. This past year, I went through fall recruitment and let me tell you something I wouldn't change a thing. Being the first one in my family to ever join a sorority or to go to a college far away from my parents, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I know every girl says this but I love my chapter with all my heart and I'm so glad that I have them in my life!!!! So here are five reasons why you should go Greek!

1. Forever Friends

Aside from being sisters, I have met so many amazing and wonderful women that will literally be my forever friends. Joining a sorority gives you a chance to meet girls that you might've been too shy to talk to in the first place or to meet people outside of your chapter. With that being said, going Greek will bring you out of your comfort zone and allow you to meet people and make friends with so many people!!!

2. Brings You Out Of Your Comfort Zone

Like I said before, going Greek will help bring you out of your comfort zone. Your sisters will push you to do your best and motivate you to do things you probably wouldn't have done before. Without the help of my sisters, I probably wouldn't have run for an exec position. I'm so thankful for each and every one of them because they allowed me to become an even better version of myself.

3. Connections, Connections, and Connections

Aside from being in a sisterhood, there are so many connections that going Greek allows you to have. Who knows one of your sisters might know of a job opening and get you connected to the manager to get that job! Everyone genuinely wants to help each other and that's why you should go Greek, to find girls that are genuinely friendly and want to help you out!!!!

4. Raising Money For A Great Cause

Going Greek allows you to raise money for your philanthropy or for other organizations. This past year, I was a part of an AMAZING organization, Charleston Miracle, that raised a total of $115,678.54. Everything leading up to Dance Marathon might have been crazy but let me tell you it was an experience that I will never forget. Going Greek allows you to take part in these amazing experiences and it gives you a different look at life!!! #FTK

5. Fun Events

Okay so even though school might be very stressful, going Greek allows you take part in some fun events that your sorority might have. The amount of sisterhood events or social events that you can take part in is AMAZING. I am so excited for this semester because ya homegirl has some fun sisterhood event for you ladies at Alpha Kappa. Not only are they fun but, they allow you to create a bond with a sister that you never talked to before!

Now I know going Greek might not be for everyone but, if you do expect these things and even more. I am so excited to be reunited with the ladies at Alpha Kappa and I can't wait to recruit some amazing ladies!!!!!!

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

April Ludgate from Parks and Recreation is notorious for her "I don't care" attitude. She speaks her mind without caring what anyone thinks of her. Fans love her because she isn't afraid to be herself. April can seem cold and negative, but she's really just fearless and strong-minded. And despite her sometimes harsh words, April truly cares about the people she's closest to. These are all reasons she is the epitome of a college student. April complains whenever she has to do any kind of work, but ends up doing the work anyway. April Ludgate is the ultimate college student spirit animal.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
