It's too real

Pinterest is the one site on the internet where you can spend literal hours and have an entire wedding planned with food, DIY decorations, and a workout regime included. Here are some common issues we all face when you are too addicted to Pinterest.


1. Why pay $5 for an item when you can spend $20 and make it yourself?

We usually counter this idea with the fact that whatever we are making will be of a higher quality and make more, but in the end we know we just wasted an extra $15 to see if it actually works.


2. People are so concerned about being Instagram worthy but in reality we just want to be Pinterest worthy.

Whether its a homemade recipe or an idea for a new DIY, you could care less about what your Instagram followers think about it. No, your Pinterest crew would appreciate this much more. So, you create a pin and wait for your creations to inspire others.


3. You realize how bad you are at makeup.

There are pins touting "easy makeup in 15 minutes" you try, you fail. Just how is their makeup looking so flawless in under 25 minutes? That's how long my eyeliner takes...


4. Pinterest fails are a very, very real thing.

You are dying to try a new recipe. You put said recipe into the oven expecting it to come out exactly like the picture, because obviously other people have been able to do this. You take it out of the oven, but alas, the cute little snowmen cookies have melded together to create one massive mess. Note to self: don't do this one again.


5. You are able to waste hours on this site.

Whether you are trying to avoid your family gatherings, or are looking for ideas to spice up your room, allow yourself a minimum of an hour. There are so many cool ideas that lead to others, which lead to even more. It is so easy to become lost in this site, use at your own risk!

Sorority

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.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

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.
