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!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
