Truth Is, Friendships Run Deeper Than Greek Letters
Lizzy Sutton

When you open your bid card you see Greek letters and run to your new sorority, you have a feeling something great is going to come out of it; however, there is so much more than you could have ever expected.You rush down Anderson lawn and begin to meet only a portion of the girls that will soon become your best friends and girl gang.

When I first got involved in my sorority I was excited, but I was like, "Oh my gosh, they seriously expect us to be here all of these days and pay if we aren't?!?" Through the long events though and sisterhood bonding, you become so close with girls you wouldn't have seen yourself bonding with bid night.

You all wear your two or three letters that represents so much meaning within your sorority and you meet through your letters, but you know you'd still be friends even without seeing each other once a week for dinner or more for anything else. I may have found these friends, also known as my new girl gang, through my house, but our friendships are deeper than two Greek letters now and I couldn't be more thankful.

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?
