So You Want To Join A Sorority

Do not fret my pets.

So... it's a new semester and it's time to join or stress over whether or not the sorority liked you or not. Certain schools already rushed and some new members already have their bigs, but for sororities in smaller schools, the process can be a much slower and painful one. But don't fret, because once the initial stress is over, the next couple of weeks will be fun, fun, learning about your founders and more fun.

Okay the first week after your interest night can be super rough.
Super stressful and most certainly full of self doubt. But do not fret. If you are waiting for an email "during the week" and haven't gotten it by around noon on Tuesday, do NOT email them about pulling your name. You want this. You know you want this. The email will come and it will come SOON do not fret.

Once that week is over, it's time for a celebration.
Remember that cute little dance montage that was most certainly in their recruitment video? Yeah THAT's the kind of fun that you are about to have. Please just stick it out and definitly do NOT advertise what you get in emails or phone calls because the recruitment and after recruitment process is completely confidential and certain organizations will come after you if you post their secrets. So just don't, okay? I get you're excited, but there are certain things that are just better if left unsaid.

If however, you do not get in, do not fret my pets.
A good chunk of the time they will tell you why and if they don't, do not give up. Come out again and prove that you are your own unique, beautiful and wonderful person. Rememeber, you is smart, you is kind, you is important. Sometimes you meet the wrong girls or you just don't vibe with certain people and that is not your fault and should most definitely not get discouraged.

Sororities can be a lot of fun and are able to do a lot of good. But if you do not get in or don't find a good fit, don't give up. You are completely worthy of everything and will do great things even if this isn't one of them. Have a great day lovelies!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
