Open Letter to 2016

The year that put us through too much.

Dear 2016,

So glad that you're gone.

Ever since January, you have caused so many broke hearts and emotions. You started when you took Ziggy Stardust(David Bowie). Then you took Professor Snape (Alan Rickman) from us as well. That literally screwed us already.

Then in April, you decided to take Prince, PRINCE. Of all people, Prince. Why Prince? Why? Didn't we suffer enough when you took Bowie away from us?? Soon you took Christina Grimmie; don't get me started on her because that was so unfair and wasn't right. Then you took Ali, why? So you can sting like a bee and fly like a butterfly? Soon after that, Gary Marshall. GARY MARSHALL, the genius behind 'Happy Days' and Princess Diaries. THEN YOU TOOK WILLY WONKA, a month later. Why? Is it because you were craving sweets? You do realize that there are recipes online for a reason, right? Then the months where everything was calm, then November 8th happened. Yeah, you know where I'm going with this and know what I'm going to say. I'm going to spare you that talk.

Then you took Carol Brady (Florence Henderson), why? Honestly, why? Soon after that, you took Dr. Jason Seaver (Alan Thicke.) Wanted to have a Canadian Hockey Team? Is that why?

Then on CHRISTMAS, You took George Michael. Please, explain to me why you took him? Don't get me started on why you took Carrie Fisher, I mean, she didn't do anything to you. Honestly, that was rude as hell, and then you took Grandma Aggie (Debbie Reynolds) the next day, because she wanted to be with her. Which, I understand that a mother would want to be with her daughter, but no. She couldn't be there for her 24 year old granddaughter who lost her mother the day prior. We lost our Princess, we lost our General. We have lost this fantastic woman along with her mother, a day later.

I do realize there have been good things that happened in 2016, but the bad outshines the good. Along with other deaths that happened.

So here's a parting gift from all of us.

See you never.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

LaGrange College

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.
