The Pledge Class Starting Lineup

The PC Moms- Constantly taking care of everyone. Reminding one person that they have an exam tomorrow and simultaneously stopping someone else from having another drink. She never leaves the house without her purse, and yes she can hold your phone for you. Skills: holding hair back, picking up shackers.


The PC Cool Aunts: Not quite as responsible as the Mom, but still encouraging fun and borderline bad behavior. While she has no problem dragging your butt home after you've had too much fun, she might have been the reason for it too. Skills: ordering cheesy bread, convincing you to flirt with your crush.

The PC Nerd: Basically living in the library, you might not see them around much. As much as they would like to be out on a Tuesday, they know where their priorities lie. However, when the academic schedule allows, they will go out, and it will be considered a holiday for the rest of your pledge class. Skills: resisting FOMO, tutoring you in math.

The PC Socialite: The girl who has both a million friends all over campus, Greek and non-Greek. If you walk to class with her, you will be stopped 50 times before you get halfway. She knows everyone and everyone loves her. Skills: finding you a formal date.

The PC Party Girl: She is always down to go out. Even if she went out last night and she has an exam tomorrow. You wonder if she even has classes. If you feel that you are the only one going out, you can probably convince her to go with you. Skills: lending you an outfit for the night, sleeping in.

The PC Weirdo: Probably should not be allowed to talk to PNMs during recruitment. May or may not have received a ride home from a stranger on a motorcycle. Loved and feared by all members of your house. Skills: saying and doing weird things, wearing leather when the sun is still up.


There may be a little bit of all of these in all of us, but these descriptions probably made you think of someone specific. All of these types of people help make our pledge classes a family. Keep being you. Creds to Erika Cone for suggesting this topic.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
