An Open Letter To Myself

Did you remember to eat today?

An Open Letter To Myself
Tiffany Dewes

Did you remember to eat today? Did you use your face wash before bed? Did you workout today? Have you told yourself that you are beautiful?

Those are just some of the questions you have to remember to ask yourself. You work a lot, make sure you eat at least one good meal, please? It is important that you eat every day. Did you make a point to use your facewash tonight, even if you decided to shower in the morning? You know you always feel better after washing your face? Did you have time to work out today? You know that working out helps your depression and makes you feel better about yourself. More importantly, did you look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are beautiful and loved? Because you are, and that is something that you can never forget.

Please, no matter how rough things get, never forget that you are a beautiful, strong woman and that you are loved. You have so many loved ones that care about you and need you around. No matter how down you get on yourself, just look in the mirror and smile. You are so beautiful when you smile, you really do have an amazing smile.

Don’t forget to do the little things that make you happy either. Sing your favorite songs on the way to school and to work, it helps put you in a good mood. Sing loud and proud, it doesn't matter that you aren't the best at singing. Turn the music up loud and jam, don't think twice about the person next to you at the stop light, you probably won't see them again anyways.

Try to make at least one new friend today, making new friends is important, life is better when you have people to talk to. Be nice to everyone that you see today, being mean will only put you in a bad mood. Treat others how you want to be treated, even if they don't respond the same, someone will, I promise.

No matter how your day is going, just remember these few basic rules and you will have a better day, I promise. Live your life by these rules, it will help get you through the days. Don’t forget that this bad day is exactly that, just a bad day. Even if it is more than a day, but maybe even a bad week, that is all it, and it will pass. Things will get better, they always will.

And don't forget to eat at least one good meal, use your face wash, try to workout, and tell yourself that you are beautiful.

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.
