13 Signs You, An American, Are Overly Obsessed With The British Royal Family

Jordan Reid

Yea, everyone loves the British royal family. You just love them a little bit more than the average person. It’s not weird, it’s just an unhealthy obsession with the aristocracy of a country you’re not a part of. Not weird at all.

1. You’ve watched ALL of the Netflix documentaries on British history.

And I do mean ALL of them. This means you probably have been known to tell your family and friends random facts about King Henry IIIV, but if they’ll thank you someday because that is USEFUL information.

2. You’ve re-watched "The Crown" at least twice.

Really, any show with British people in a historical setting is on your list, but this one is special.

3. You’ve forced yourself to like tea.

Nothing makes you feel more in touch with your inner-princess than pouring a nice “cuppa” and pretending like it’s as good as coffee.

4. You suddenly become a fashion expert when discussing any member of the family.

She just carries herself with such grace, and those colors really bring out her eyes, and that hairstyle perfectly frames her face, and I’m expecting a call from Fashion Police any day now.

5. Royal weddings are national holidays in your house.

People know not to try to make plans, or even speak to you, for that matter. This is a very special day for you and you plan on savoring every single minute with cake, tea, and tears.

6. You definitely have a current favorite member of the family.

Team Edward or Team Jacob? More like Team William or Team Harry! I’m not ashamed.

7. And you probably have a least favorite, too.

I’m not going to name names… but it’s Charles.

8. Kate Middleton is your fashion icon.

You can’t buy class, but you can google every picture of this woman in existence and try your best to copy it.

9. You’ve considered adopting a Corgi.

I could name them Cricket and Crumpet, and if I wear a lime green dress with matching hat, everyone would probably mistake me for the Queen.

10. Going to England is actually your dream.

I just wanna ride a double-decker bus past Big Ben and kiss the ground Prince Harry has walked on. I really don’t think that’s too much to ask.

11. You occasionally forget you’re not actually apart of the family... or the country.

It’s always a rude awakening you never see coming.

12. You’ve planned your own royal wedding in your head.

So I’m thinking a small ceremony of about 2,000 at West Minster Abbey, and instead of a dress, I would like to just cover my entire body in tiaras. Shouldn’t be a problem.

13. You were thrilled that Harry was marrying an American — until you discovered it was the wrong one.

Wait... it’s not me? There must have been a mistake I’d like to see a lawyer, please.

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.
