Considering Living In Your Sorority House? You Should! Here's Why!
Rachel Klumpp

Everyone thinks that living in a sorority house is exactly house tv portrays it to be. A party house, a strict house with a bunch of rules or just girls trying to buy their friends, but honestly it makes school a thousand times better. Need a reason to live in the house or to convince your parents? Check out these 9!

You get the on campus experience without having to live in a dorm

You get the on campus perks like having good parking spots and being close to all of your classes without having to be a freshman again in the terrible dorms

You don't have to pay to do your laundry

Unlike living in the dorms and some apartment complex's you don't have to pay to wash and dry each load which saves you so much money

The food is bomb

Those gourmet meals were so far away last year when you were on the other side of the campus, but now they're just 10 steps away downstairs. It's so amazing to be able to just wake up go downstairs in your pjs and get a cup of coffee and an omelet.

It's close to the stadium

You don't have to worry about the long walks or getting parking on game day just walk two seconds and your where all the fun happens.

It's actually cheaper

It's cheaper than some apartments and for me was cheaper than living in a dorm freshman year.

If you don't know anyone here you meet people!

If you don't know many of your sorority sisters living in the house gives you the opportunity to make more friends. They're fun events that the people in the house get to do and have fun together. You get ready before events together and just sitting in your hallway having amazing conversations.

It makes rush a tiny bit better

During breaks during rush are amazing when you live in the house because you can go upstairs and take a quick nap or catch up on bachelor in paradise with your friends and if you forget something its right upstairs which is great.

You get your mom away from home

House moms are the best. They are there for you whenever you need then and help you with anything.

Your best friends and sisters are your roommates and neighbors 

You get to see your best friends ever day when you step out of your room. You get to have silly arguments on whether or not you should put ketchup on eggs and when you need something that you don't have you just knock on their doors and they are there for you in a second.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
