Ever had a guy that is super controlling and clingy? If you're not sure he is, then read this article to see if any of these symptoms apply. If they do, then maybe you should re-evaluate what he contributes to your life and communicate with him about how this is becoming a problem.

  1. He seems sweet at first, but next thing you know he’s trying to involve himself in every aspect of your life. He’s involved with your friend's life, he’s involved with your work, your school… you get the idea.
  2. He wants to come over every. Single. Day. Attention is great, but when he wants to be apart of your life 24/7 it becomes a problem.
  3. He starts to become clingy to your own friends too. I love a man that is best friends with my friends, but it’s an issue when he starts to even annoy your friends…
  4. He tells literally the whole world that you guys are official when you guys really are not.
  5. He starts to become controlling in very little things in your life that eventually becomes very apparent that he is controlling.
  6. You think he’s advising you, but really he’s just trying to manipulate the situation to his own benefit
  7. His friends start to “spy” on everything you do and update him like it’s their job.
  8. He checks up on you over text message to make sure you are not doing anything stupid without him being there to supervise.
  9. He plays the victim every time you mention that he is getting way too clingy.
  10. He guilt trips you to make himself feel better and seem like a hero to you... when you did not do anything wrong in the situation
  11. In the end, you need to acknowledge that he is the problem and that he needs to give you space to live. If he does not respect that, he does not respect you.

It's important to live a healthy relationship with the man you are seeing or in a relationship with. If any of his actions do bring you negativity in your life, make sure to communicate those concerns with him and vocalize your concerns. If it continues to happen, girl drop him you can do much much better!

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.
