Now that the new school year has begun, it can only mean one thing —you're going to get sick. Being sick in general is no fun but, it is even worse after you go away to college.

1. There's no one to take care of you. 

The worst part about being sick in college is that you don't have anyone to take care of you. It was much easier when you had parents or other family members to help get you to feel better. Now you have to worry about going to the doctor, taking the right medications, and making your own soup.

2. You have to go to class.

One of the best ways to get over being sick is to take some time to relax which can be difficult when you have to go to your classes. At least in high school, there is a little more room to be able to miss classes when you're sick.

3. All you want to do is go out. 

Being confined to your room and trying to rest can be difficult, especially when you would much rather be out with your friends.

4. There really isn't enough time to nap. 

Honestly, being able to nap is one of the best parts about being sick but, with everything else you have to do there really isn't enough time.

5. You're constantly getting sick. 

Getting sick is a never-ending battle in college. At the start of each semester, you are bound to get sick again no matter how hard you try to avoid it.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

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.
