OITNB: Season Four.

The season we've all been waiting for!

Finally! The moment we've all been waiting for, another season of Orange is the New Black to binge watch in a single day. Our favorite characters return and some of them (SPOILER ALERT) leave us, completely breaking our hearts. During this season, we are reminded of why all of us are so hooked on this show (especially since through the seasons, each story line revolves less and less around Piper Chapman). But, regardless, our relationship and connection with these characters continue to grow and our emotions continue to overflow when it comes to these awesome and bad ass girls that we call Litchfield inmates.

Personally, this season is my absolute favorite, disregarding the amount of crying that took place while watching it. This season took on a whole new level of addressing real, current world issues, such as the Black Lives Matter movement and police brutality. We get the whole nine yards in this season, whether everyone likes it or not. But, this is what makes the show so appealing and so important to many of its fans, because it is realistic. It involves real life situations and real issues — sexism, racism, prejudice, LGBT hate, etc. The characters and story lines completely blow me away every season and what is even better is that the actors of these characters actually play their part in fighting hate and racism in real life. Clearly, the show has allowed them to establish wonderful friendships and their fame has given them the power to make change and use their platform for only good things.

New blood, old blood, this season completely blew me away. If you haven't watched yet, get on that immediately; and, if you haven't watched any of it, GET ON THAT. You could easily finish all four seasons before the fifth one arrives.

10 Truths About Being In A 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.
