10 Reasons Living In A Sorority House Is The Best Experience

personal photo

I've heard from many people either considering Greek life or just curious about it ask me what living in my sorority house is like more times than I can count. The truth is if you have the option to live in your sorority's house, do it, you will not regret your decision. Here are 10 reasons why you should live in your sorority house if you can!

1. The House Is Your Closet

l literally borrow belts and sweaters from my sisters all the time! They're always a text away if you need anything to complete an outfit!

2. SNACKS EVERYWHERE!!!

Giphy

I'll get texts in my group chat saying that someone brought home a pizza for us or something all the time! Literally, you share everything with your sisters and sometimes the comes with food-related perks.

3. Bonding Sessions

Giphy

We all like to watch movies and make crafts together as a way of bonding. It's super fun and it's some of my fondest memories!

4. The Cute Little Notes You'll Get

Giphy

I love when I come back to my room in the house to little notes my sisters went out of their way to write me and stick them on my desk. It makes me feel loved and I keep every single note that is delivered to me!

5. The Late Night Study Sessions

Giphy

I don't normally stay up to do work but when I do, it's always near some of my sisters so I have company to entertain me!

6. The Constant Celebrations

Giphy

Whenever something amazing happens to any of us, we always celebrate it in some way because we like to build each other up all the time!!

7. Always Having Smiling Faces To Come Home To

Giphy

It's so nice coming home to people who genuinely want to know about your day and who are always happy to see you!

8. Always Having A Shoulder To Cry On

Giphy

If anyone is ever down, there are dozens of girls a room away ready to make you smile again!

9. The Constant Dance Parties

Giphy

I love it when my sisters come into my room while I'm playing music and they dance with me!

10. A Home Away From Home

Giphy

Having somewhere to call home in college is one of the warmest feelings in the world. You'll never feel isolated or alone because you'll have a whole house that will help you remember what being home really feels like.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
