The Secret Life of a Sorority Junior

Junior year is a sorority, and you're feeling washed up. It's almost inevitable at this point, and no matter how hard you try the feeling won't pass. All of a sudden all of these things are true.

1. Frat boys want all your new members

It's like you could be wearing that brand new bodysuit, but you even know it looks better on new member Rachel.

2. The songs that used to make you want to dance aren't relevant anymore.

What is this new rap? What happened to "Hotline Bling"? How do you dance to this?

3. You'd rather have a conversation with the older brothers, than try to play a game of pong anymore.

Seriously, where did my skills go? Ah whatever, I give up.

4. Speaking of which, you don't even know the newer pledge classes anymore?

Wait, you're a sophomore?

5. Everyone is dating littles, and you're trying to pretend like you're not going to be grandma this year.

Why doesn't anyone want to sister date me?

6. Hangovers start to be real.

I wasn't ready for this.

7. Hookup culture just stopped being appealing over night.

I don't know what happened, but the idea of that boy just isn't for me anymore.

8. The seniors are having the time of their lives, but you're not quite 21 yet.

Just two more months...

9. You have to plan ahead for themes because your wardrobe just doesn't support them like it used to.

Ugh why did I ever get rid of my overalls?

10. Chasers stop being an option.

Little, can you stop at the vending machine before you come over? I need a coke.

11. Your professors keep talking about your "future".

What's that?

12. Staying in sounds terrible, but parties just aren't the same.

When did all the fun get sucked out of me?

& while all of this is low key true, you would never admit it. So stop cleaning your combat boots every weekend, put on a cute shirt & some jeans, because we going out tonight.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.
