Saying No To Disrespect

You deserve the best.

Saying No To Disrespect
Tomi Talks

Sometimes, as girls, we force things we know will not work. One of the most common examples includes relationships. Imagine that you have been with a guy through all the ups and downs he has put you through. You know deep down this relationship will not go far because he is not treating you the way you deserve. He is a good person and he is giving you all that he can offer, but you make up excuses saying, “Well maybe with time things will get better.” All type of excuses and ideas pop up in your head on why you should stay with him. Deep down inside a little voice is telling you that this guy is not for you. He may have the whole package but if this package is not written with your name on it why stay.

She didn’t have a kinesthetic love for him and there was no type of spark or feeling, to say the least. She knew she didn’t want to spend the rest of her life with him, but she continued to pretend like everything was okay praying that the Lord send her a sign. She finally got tired of his disrespectful ways towards her because he was acting more like a single person than like a person in a relationship. With his nasty temper and unapologetic ways, she threw in the towel saying enough is enough. She realized that the age old saying was actually true: what you allow will always continue. She knew her worth and knew that this was not how a Queen was supposed to be treated.

Some of you are probably wondering why it took her so long to leave. We as girls sometimes become blindsided and afraid of being alone. Let us all remember that we have to love ourselves and put ourselves first before anyone can come in and reciprocate that love. Ladies we have to remember we are designed to uphold ourselves as Queens at all times which means we will not put our reputation or morals at risk no matter what. We deserve nothing but the best let’s not settle for anything less.

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.
