Keeping up with the Srat-dashians

In case no one knows, “srat” is a joking work for “sorority." Enjoy the read.

So we Greeks all that one trend that starts on Srat row and we’re not sure where it started or why it started. We aren’t even sure that we like it. Actually, we know we don’t like it.

But guess what, we go along with the trend anyway. We go buy the ridiculous hair scrunchy that we saw Suzy from Apple Beta Pi wearing. We get that dumb sticker on our laptop. Why? BECAUSE WE HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH THE SRAT-DASHIANS. That’s why.

Maybe there’s that one group of girls in your chapter that clique together and gossip about everyone else and spill all the dirt they think they have one people. They’re that group that no one really wants to piss off because there’s telling what they’ll say about you.

That one group of girls that get one thousand likes on every single Instagram post. The one group that has 500 retweets on the tweet about what they are for breakfast. We have to keep up. We have to try to be that group. ... right?

Wrong. Fake news. Nada. No good. However you wanna put it. You don’t have to keep up with the Srat-dashians at all. Don’t like that new pair of shoes that came out? Don’t get em. Don’t wanna go to that huge frat house party on Thursday? Don’t go.

Who are you keeping your appearances up for? It shouldn’t be for anyone.

In my sorority, we wear all white and no makeup to ritual events. This symbolizes the fact that our sorority loves our purest self. We formally pledge to our sorority in this attire, meaning that our sorority accepted us as our truest selves before they really knew us.

Every girl is accepted into an amazing Greek affiliation because of her truest and purest self. Even if your purest self likes to wear camo crocs.

You don’t have to keep with the girls that act like they’re Kim Kardashian on sorority row.

In the very wise words of Dr. Seuss, “Be who you are and say what you feel because the people that mind don’t matter and the people that matter don’t mind.”

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

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?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
