1. Earl Grey

This type of tea is flavored with bergamot and hints of lavender. The first sip will surprise you with flavorful layers. Earl Grey pairs well with a small slice of grapefruit or citrus of your choice, accenting the floral notes.

2. Dandelion Root Tea

If you're looking for a tea for detox, this is the one. Dandelion has long been hailed for its abilities to cleanse the liver - a winner after a long night out on the town.

3. Peach Tea

If you're a fan of caffeine-free herbal blends, peach tea is for you. Imagine the comfort of grandma's peach cobbler without all of the ice cream and crust. The essence of the fruit springs from a cup of this tea!

4. Chocolate Chai

Chai is a rich mix of cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. A herbal mix that is a recipe for a sweet, savory, steaming cup of bliss is sure to bring you a sense of pleasure. Add in more spices for an even stronger brew!

Make it a latte adding your tea bag to a nice, steaming cup of coffee then adding warm milk (with a hint of vanilla extract) and sugar to meet your taste.

5.Chamomile

Chamomile's gentle flavor is reminiscent of a small sheep prancing about a green field. This calming tea is packed full of l-theanine, a compound that has been proven to increase relaxation and help one fall asleep after a stressful day.

6. Green

While being a classic favorite among health fanatics, green tea is always a good choice for taking a moment to relax and warm the body. Add a few drops of lemon juice for a healthy cleansing choice.

Don't forget to add sugar or honey to sweeten up your cup of heaven!

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

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.

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.
