6 Reasons You Should Be Obsessed With Sam Smith

1. First of all, he's only 25.

And even better than that, his first feature (before he ever even released an EP) ,"La, La, La", went to the top of the charts when he was only 21. I feel extremely incompetent.

2. He was a Barback before we cried about our non-existent love lives to his songs.

I am sure after working in a bar in England, Sam really couldn't breathe, but how does that not make him the coolest barback around?! Could you imagine last call but like in a song belting from this heavenly man's mouth?

3. He's a feminist.

His mom was the breadwinner while his stay-at-home dad made sure little Samuel knew all about the importance of empowering women. Even his music idols are mostly female, including Whitney Houston, Beyoncé, and Etta James.

4. His music is perfect breakup music.

Like I mentioned earlier, we've all been half a pint deep in some Ben & Jerry's, listening to Stay With Me and bawling our eyes out for absolutely no reason at all. I mean occasionally his lyrics really feel relatable, especially after a breakup, but we all know we could also cry over the lost chance at some cute boy we saw in the Student Union that will never know our name.


5. He is so humble it hurts.

He's won 26 awards total, that's more than Taylor Swift... And every time he gets up to accept an award he's literally dumbfounded and shocked like he didn't just drop the most soulful album.

6. The Thrill of it All drops November 3rd.

With two already amazing singles, Pray and Too Good at Goodbyes, we can tell this album is going to blow our minds. His lyrics and his soul just go unmatched and I don't know about you, but that album will be on repeat until I get to see him on tour, if that ever happens...

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

Sorority

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.
