Parting Ways With Pizza: Why College Killed Our Relationship

In college, there are a lot of opportunities to attend events, and many times organizations will offer free food. If you've ever been in a student organization, from arts to athletics, Greek life to niche clubs, you know that the best way to get someone in a seat is by filling their belly with something that isn't in the dining halls. So, automatically, for some reason, everyone resorts to "treating" the attendees to some pizza.

So what? Free food never hurt anybody, especially pizza.
Yeah, if you're a freshman or a professor who has a job and a kitchen.

It's super exciting to walk around campus and get handed snack foods left and right during all of the involvement fairs, but when you've been at a school for 3 years, lukewarm slices get old really quickly.

GUESS WHAT, PEOPLE? Pizza is the biggest go to one-hit-wonder-wannabe for anyone trying to host an event. It's even WORSE when it's an official university group is trying to shove this crap down my throat. (Here is looking at you, Academic Services.)

And while that may work for some people.... Well, okay, I'll just say it.

I am SO sick of your damn pizza.

I've had it all: cheese, extra cheese, pepperoni, sausage, Hawaiian, whatever. Who CARES?! Your organization isn't being any different by treating me like I'm worth a 5-for-$30 deal at the local pizza joint. You're NOT being original, you're NOT going to get me to join by giving me the same stuff everyone else is, you will NOT make your membership needs, and you will NOT raise money.

Okay?

SO... here is how you get your organization to stand out:

If you're hosting an event, stop feeding everyone pizza. Switch it up!!!!
If another group is having pizza the day before, and another one is having pizza the day after, the pizza thing gets old REAL quick. And yeah I know it's popular thought, but just because we're all 20-somethings in college and broke as s*** doesn't mean we have to OR want to eat like we are all the time. And yes, value deals are great, but go to Sam's club and see what else is out there.

Get us real food. And maybe no one will agree with me, but until you and your group start giving out something other than cheese covered bread, I am breaking it off with you're crappy attempt to get me to join your club, attend your event or give you my money.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
