Rush Week As Told By Friends

Rush week is slowly approaching, and your house is nervously preparing for the incoming member class. It is imperative you get great girls this year, and your recruitment chair has been frantically planning for the past few weeks now for just that. It's a chapter-wide effort to try to recruit the best all-around girls on campus, and you're ready for the challenge. With your cute new rush dresses from Tobi and feet-breaking but fabulous tan (not brown) wedges, you strut into your house ready to meet some babies. It's now up to you to pick out the finest rush week has to offer. Besides, no one wants a weird new little in the fam.

When the first group of girls walk in the house to start round one.

When you have to make the usual "What's your major?" and "Did you come summer B?" small talk because you might as well be talking to a brick wall.

But then you meet a PNM you really like.

When you see girls you loved on the list again for round two.

Three hours later and you're starving but have two more groups to go before lunch.

When you get paired to talk to a PNM and can't seem to find anything in common.

But you look across the room and your friend is having a conversation about HUM2305 – what is the Good Life?

When you realize a girl you really liked dropped your house.

But then a girl you liked more is on the list.

Two words: dessert round.

When you're delusional at the end of the day but realize you still have three hours of small talk left.

When it's pref round and you get to talk to your rush crush.

The morning of bid day.

When your new babies run off the bus.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
