How to Get Involved 2016!

Since school has started, what have you been doing? Homework and more homework right? Oh yeah, I can't forget studying ! If you haven't already, give yourself a break and relax. You can still enjoy life while attending college. You do not have to stay in your dorm all day and night. Explore campus and maybe join some organizations to get involved! I have a few tips to get you going.

#1 Attend on-campus events


While this might seem boring, you should go ahead and do it anyway! What do you have to lose? You need to get out and see what your campus has to offer in order to find out where you the feel the most comfortable so you can be happy! You don't want to join a club without attending any meetings or not knowing anything about it.

#2 Make sure to sign up to get more information


When you attend any meetings or events, make sure to sign up for email updates. Even if you aren't sure about it just do it anyway just in case you change your mind. That way you can stay up to date with the club and constantly receive information about any upcoming events or meetings!

#3 Join a club/organization


Find a club that interests you! Your major might even have a club and if it does you should definitely check that out! If could be beneficial to you and your future !

#4 Join a sorority/fraternity

Going Greek is one way to gain an instant family for life! You will definitely meet a lot of people and maybe long life friends! You will quickly find a group of people that will contain the same values that you have! Sororities and Fraternities always host or attend a lot of events so you should never be bored! Be prepared to make a serious commitment but if you are considering to rush then you should try it out!

#5 Make or Join an intramural sports team


I wasn't aware of this until I got to college but you can make your own sports team with a group of friends for just about any sport! Of course this is just for fun and it's okay if you aren't actually an athlete. This is a different way of having fun with friends!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
