Love Is Always A Choice

Everyday you make the decision to love somebody

Love Is Always A Choice
K. Caskey

Every single day, we must make choices. We have to choose which outfit to wear, which route to take to work, or which restaurant to eat at for supper. We must also choose how we treat the people around us. It doesn't matter if our days are good or bad, we always have a choice in the way we act towards someone. The same goes for loving somebody. We can either choose to walk away, or love somebody no matter what.

The reason relationships in our generation don't work out, is because people give up when things go wrong. This can be the case for either a partner relationship, family relationship, and even a friend relationship.

To my parents and sister, thank you for choosing to love me since the day I was born. I know it's a parent's job to love their kids, but day in and day out, you have always chose to show me love. You have always supported me and the choices I've made. There's been times you have let me fall, so I could stand back up. To me, that's some of the best love there is. Through it all, you have chosen to love me for who I am. There were days you showed me love was sometimes all you needed.


To my boyfriend, thank you for choosing to love me when I couldn't love myself. You always have loved me for every mistake I've made, and for all the times I've tested you. I have tested your patience, your understanding, and even your love. However, through it all you have always chose to love me for me. You chose to love me somedays without me giving anything in return. You have helped me see love like I never have before.

To my friends, thank you for accepting me right away. You chose to love me from the very beginning without any judgement. That's why we have such good relationships. Y'all have always shown me love through your care and actions, and have chosen to love me when I've had a bad college day. (Let's be honest we all have those days).

I'll be the first to admit that when we get wronged or hurt by someone, it's not easy to love somebody for it. That's why day in and day out, we have to choose to love people. I mean, if these people would have chosen not to, I would have lost some great people. That's why everyday, I continue to choose to love those in my life. However it is also important to choose to love everyone you come into contact with, everyday. It can make the biggest difference. It has the potential to change the world. I mean those choosing to love me and me choosing to love them has changed my life.

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.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
