Life would be so dull without the company of grandparents and as I've gotten older the more I've realized that mine are my best friends. Grandparents are the ones who are always looking out for your very best interest and take you in with open arms no matter what.

Both of my grandparents have given me someone to look up to and have shown me how to love in life. They are one of life's greatest blessings and am so thankful to have such amazing people in my life.

There is not a homier place than going grandparents house and walking into the smell of something delicious baking in the oven. Who better to call your best friend than the people you have a lifetime of memories with?

I am so blessed to have the most wonderful people on the planet as my grandparents and am so looking forward to the many more memories I get to make with them.

I can remember every Friday night I would stay over at my grandparents' house, calling it our "Friday night party." We would always be in the kitchen baking for or playing some sort of game. Our "Friday night parties" would by far be the highlight of my week.

Now that I'm older and off in college, and my grandparents don't live ten minutes down the street anymore I realize how special my memories with them are.

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.
