Most of us now know him as the almighty Kylo Ren from "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," but Adam Driver has a history of successful indie films, being in Broadway productions, and giving back to a community that truly matters. Here’s a list of reasons why Adam Driver is one of my favorite people at the moment!

1. He’s an incredible actor.

Although he hasn’t won any big time title awards just yet, Driver is being more and more recognized now for what he is: a talented, prestigious actor with nothing but the best of his career ahead of him!

2. He performed in Broadway productions.

Every actor has a great “I moved to New York to pursue acting, while being a waiter to pay rent” story.

3. He joined the U.S. Marine Corps after 9/11.

After only serving for almost three years, Adam Driver broke his sternum while riding a mountain bike and was soon medically discharged.

4. He runs a non-profit organization with his wife.

Arts in the Armed Forces is a group of actors that travel to military personnel to show troops how important expression and thought through theatre can be helpful. Adam and his wife Joanne Tucker created the organization several years back.

5. He attempted to move to California after high school.

After graduation, Driver wanted a jump start on his career so he set out for Hollywood from his home in Indiana. However, by the time he got there, his wallet was empty and he ended up only staying two days before moving back home.

6. He studied at Juilliard.

Driver admits going to Juilliard had its highs and lows and was a great learning experience from both sides. He studied drama and also conceived Arts in the Armed Forces while attending school there.

7. He’s a lead role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Adam Driver plays a badass, force thirsty, temper-tantrum-throwing villain named Kylo Ren who wants nothing more than to be as powerful as Vader.

And lastly...

8. He’s a beautiful man.

I mean. Just look at him.

From the luscious flowing hair to his tall stature, Adam Driver is one talented and beautiful man. There's no doubt he has a fan-club, but if he doesn't, I will soon be starting one.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

LaGrange College

Rebekah Lee

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.
