Seven Things I Wish Someone Told Me Five Years Ago
Tor Olson

Everyone wishes that they had someone there to tell them things to make their day a little better. Here is a list of things that I wish someone had told me 5 years ago. Also, this cover photo is just super cute and a throwback, and since this is talking about little me, I thought I'd share that cute pic.

1. Life will suck for a little, but you will survive.

Things will get tough, and it sucks, but I promise you, you will get through it. Life isn’t easy, and you’ll learn that too.

2. Your makeup was not pretty.

Dear god. I don’t know what you were thinking about leaving the house looking like that. Wowza. So glad that you learned how to actually do your make up.

3. Don’t let others influence how you act.

Just be you. Do not let other people influence to change yourself. There are other goofballs in the world like you.

4. Brush off the little things.

There are other in life to worry about. Get over the little things. Watch some Netflix, you’ll be fine.

5. That cat you’ve always wanted, you’ll get it.

The years of begging and wanting a cat, don’t worry. You’ll get it! I know you never thought it would happen, but it does.

6. All boys are stupid; you’ll get over it.

Don’t stress about boys. They come and go. Do not worry about it. Ice cream will always be your best friend.

7. Enjoy life.

Sometimes it can be great, you also meet so many great people, and have fun adventures. Enjoy it all!

But, you make it through the next 5 years, with or without someone there to tell you these things. It would have been nice if someone told you about the make up earlier, but that’s okay.

What are some things that you wish someone would have told you?

Sorority

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.
