6 Things You Want To Tell Every Freshman Girl

Hannah Gallup

So, you're finally not the freshman girl at the party anymore. You made it. You and your friends decide to go to the first party of the year and you already know going into it that you're going to have the time of your life. So, you get to the party and the first thing you see is this random girl you've never seen before dancing in the middle of the room in front of everyone. You can't help but get super uncomfortable about this girl and you want to go grab her and help her, but then again, who the hell helped you? As you and your friends are sitting on the couch watching all of these young girls soaking up every second of being the new girls, y'all can't help but think these things you wish you could tell them:

1. It's ok to sit down.

Relax, even if you feel out of place, it's okay to just chill. Trust me, the turn up is real all the time, but sometimes chillin' out can be just as fun.

2. Stop yelling.

Whatever you are choosing to scream to your roomie who came with you is probably irrelevant to 98% of the people who can hear you.

3. Fashionably late is a thing.

Before 10pm, wherever you are planning on going is just a pregame at that point. Take your time, I promise they'll be doing the exact same thing when you get there.

4. He really, reallllly does love your outfit.

Remember in Mean Girls when Regina George dressed like a bunny for Halloween? That's okay... because it was halloween. Stay classy, San Diego.

6. Snapchat isn't life.

No one cares about your uber ride, your DD being pissed because you're drunk, or the Cookout you're sitting in line for. Leave a little to the imagination.

7. Moderation is Key

Funneling five beers back to back really does seem cool and fun, but in 15 minutes when you're really feeling that 5th beer way more than you expected, unfortunately you're passing out at the party way sooner than expected.

These tips can be taken with a grain of salt, because really who am I to tell anyone how to act??? Be yourself and don't be afraid to show the world who you really are. Unless that is extremely crazy then mask that with alcohol. Only sort of joking.

"Out with the old, in with then new, cheers to the future, and all that we do."

10 Truths About Being In A 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.
