As we all know, social media is a huge part of our everyday lives. It is really easy to hit the follow button without actually thinking about the lasting effect that one choice will have on our everyday lives. We look at our social media accounts at least once per day, which means every person we follow impacts us at least once per day. Whether that impact is good or bad depends completely on what that person posts and how it affects us when we see it. For this reason, it is incredibly important to follow people that not only have a good impact on us but a positive and inspirational one.

Take control of your social media and shape it so that it is a source of hope, happiness, and inspiration in your everyday life. In order to do this, make sure to follow accounts under each of the following ten categories.

1. For Your Brain

Follow an account that will stimulate your mind and encourage you to read a book, an article, or just expand your knowledge like a favorite author, book store, or publisher.

2. For Your Heart

Follow an account that makes you want to be a better person, or just gives you that warm fuzzy feeling in your heart like a cute animals account, non profit organization, or anything else that makes your heart happy when you see it.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

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.
