Freedom must be earned and success established.

There's A Fine Line Between Freedom And Success
AYAZ MALIK

Sometimes a person’s effort measures how much freedom they will be rewarded in the long run and what it will be.

Freedom is not mandatory as a task to the individual, but something you like doing when there is nothing left to do. This act can limit people’s independence to do whatever satisfies them. However, a great deal of success plays a major role in achieving its guidelines. A person with high expectations can be determined to make a powerful impact on the world so great that they would expect something better of it in return. The boundary that sets these two common ideas apart is the commitment. Commitment can be alternatively determined by the attitude and judgment of a person. This factor of freedom and success can facilitate guidelines that could lead to endless possibilities of independence, from the 4th of July involved with our independence from England to a possible chance of World War III. This factor is also the bridge that seals that gap between freedom and success. There will always be an obstacle that will seize your freedom from you because it can be overruled and used improperly to control the many people. Commitment can also become a person’s vision of freedom by discovering their intrinsic motivation, which can influence others to support within any situation of an obstacle. Whenever there is no freedom for society to have, many doors of opportunities closes for them.

However, commitment towards freedom and success does not always guarantee happiness at the end. Happiness is usually the aftermath that is the result of commitment and could ultimately change a person’s perception by teaching them the lessons of life. An individual’s satisfaction of life-long, learning lessons will sometimes be another path or guideline to another obstacle for them to face, which could direct the individual’s journey to true freedom of pure happiness. Everyone has got to start somewhere, no matter how committed a person is. This idea as a whole can be rewarding to a person’s experience of reality.

Commitment requires desires tasks such as goals to keep an individual filled motivation in order achieve their dreams in hopes of freedom. Goals can limit freedom and success to some degree for an individual by generating plans and/or steps that could help you and others accomplish them. They are also deadlines that people have to meet the perquisites of their success. Overall, these ideas make commitment the fine line between freedom and success. Success is determined by commitment, guided by goals as building blocks that leads to freedom, which could whether or not transition into another obstacle or path, thus turn your success into freedom, let thy freedom become the lesson and let thy lesson become freedom.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

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.
