Mixers And Paint Wars And Rednecks, Oh My!

To continue the process of picking a social club that fits towards you, here comes the MIXERS! Now to explain what a mixer is in my own words: A mixer is a party where you go and dress accordingly to the theme (because it's way more fun that way) and you partake in the activities and awesomeness of the club and meet new people and then decide if you would like to join that club or not. Now in reality, some people just come to get free food or a free t-shirt, but that's when we call those people "lame". Actually participating in the activities and meeting new people are what is awesome about these mixers.

The club mixers I went to were: Kappa & Phi Lambda and Epsilon & Delta's and both of them were so great! To start off with the first night of Kappa & Phi Lambda was the theme of "Redneck Olympics". To running in a sack race with garbage bags, to seeing how far you can spit a sunflower seed, the whole night was truly a Redneck's Paradise. We all dressed up in our trashiest Redneck attire and then danced the night away to "The Wobble & Cubic Shuffle". The summary of the night is that I now understand why Kappa's slogan is the "Kappa Krazies".

Night two was Epsilon & Delta's night theme of: Mardis Gras Paint Party. They had it on Big Grass and had tents lit up with green and purple Christmas lights. The event was a paint party, so it was a very colorful paint party with an addition of water balloons. I can say that everyone there that night had an exceptional time and had to spend a little longer in the shower than usual, so they can scrub the paint out of their hair. Plus, rinse off very well since there was a Slip-N-Slide that contained LOTS and LOTS of baby oil. Let's just say that I scrubbed for a good five minutes before I felt it come off! Nevertheless, I had a really great time of fun and frolly and got a really cute t-shirt as well! When it comes to water balloon fights boy versus girl style, I now understand why they say Epsilon is the most competitive. Them bulldogs don't play around!

I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to all of the clubs and people who help set up these awesome events! This is why I'm proud to be a Faulkner Eagle! Soar Eagles.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
