In my sorority, every week we get a buddy who is an initiated member, and we are supposed to meet up with them. It is a nice way to gradually get to know your sisters and see if there is anyone you would want for a big. So far, I have gone to get coffee and to dinner with my buddies. It is a lot of fun, but I have put a list together of things you could do that involves being a little more active.

1. Mini golf.

Mini golf is such a chill activity. You don't need to be athletic at all and, if you're with the right people, it can be a lot of fun. You really can't go wrong with this. It is more fun than dinner because if you struggle with having a conversation, then you can just talk about how bad you're doing.

2. Take a hike.

At my school, there is a park called Lake Claire and they have a trail near it that you can walk on. If you hike with your buddy, it'll be fun because you get to experience something new together.

3. Go bowling.

This is kind of like mini golf in the sense that you don't have to be athletic and it's fun to joke around with. I am so bad at bowling, but I always have a great time because I just joke around with my friend at how bad I'm doing.

4. Go shopping. 

Becca McHaffie

Do you hate shopping? Yeah, it isn't my favorite thing either. However, if you go with friends then it is so much more fun. Personally, I am not good at picking out what looks good on me so it's nice to go with someone that can help. Not only do you get to spend your money, but you also get to bond with your buddy over a new wardrobe.

5. Go somewhere you both haven't been to before. 

Giphy

If you are new to the town, or even if you aren't, go explore. Find something you and your buddy have never done or go somewhere you both haven't been to before. The world is your oyster - explore as much as you can.

6. Go to a school football game together. 

Giphy

You are, hopefully, cheering on the same team, so why not do it together? Even if you don't like football, these games are one of the biggest events that bring the community together. Show your love for your school the best way you know how with your new found sisters.

7. Meet up before a sorority event. 

Giphy

Earlier last week, my sorority went roller skating. Before, my buddy and I met up to eat pizza and go to the event together. It was so nice to go to the event with someone, and being in the car together is actually a great way to bond. Not only can you have random conversations, but you also learn about each other in different ways. For example, you can learn a lot from someone's driving, their road rage, or what kind of music they like to listen to.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

University of Dayton

boy in adult clothes

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.
