7 Things You Learn From The New Member Class
Tori Crowley

When you rush a sorority, you get very close with your sisters. Besides your Big Sister, your new member sisters will become your best friends. You will go through the whole new member process with your new member sisters and you will not just learn about your sorority, you will also learn life lessons from them.

1. Be bad and boujee.

Tori Crowley

Always look your best, you never know who you are going to see. Do a hair flip, walk out the door, be bad and boujee. Do not care about other people, just do you, boo.

2. Pause and take time for yourself.

Tori Crowley

Go shopping, go spend some money in Michael Kors or Pink, for yourself. You are the most important person and need to take care of yourself first.

3. Go do some yoga and focus on you.

Tori Crowley

If shopping isn't enough to help yourself, relax. Do some breathing and try yoga. Your life might not be flexible but maybe working on your flexibility with some yoga would help!

4. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

Tori Crowley

Stuff happens. If something is bothering you, don’t let it get to you. Life happens and you get tossed lemons all the time, but just move on.

5. Don’t care what people think about you.

Tori Crowley

Are you living someone else’s life? No. You are living YOUR life. Do not live your life to impress others, say whatever is on your mind and just life carefree.

6. Disney can solve any problem that you have.

Tori Crowley

Any bad day can be solved by watching a Disney movie in bed. If you want to go for a drive, blast some Disney music and everything will be better.

7. Go out and be crazy.

Tori Crowley

#YOLO. Why even care about life? Just be your crazy self. This is your only life so do what makes you happy.

Your new member class will be the best thing to ever happen to you. If you are lucky to have a small new member class, you should really embrace that gift. Even though you may feel that you are all completely different, you will learn to love that and each other. The best part is if you all like different things, you can learn about what your sisters like and maybe you will end up to like those things too.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
