Don't quit

Suicide: Straight To Te Point
Destini Hall

Suicide. Straight to the point. That's exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to get straight to the point. I was at a point in life where I just wanted to give up everything. It just felt like everything was going wrong.

Physically, emotionally, mentally and anything else you can name was wrong. I didn't know how to express it but with the words "I can't do this (life) anymore". I never talked to my family about it because they would tell me to "Get over it" because to them; things can't be "that bad."

But they would never understand. I would tell my friends and they would panic. I would hear the pain in their voice that I caused because I didn't want to be here with them anymore. But, it wasn't that I didn't want to be here with them.

I would've loved to be happy and enjoy every moment of life with them but happiness was not in me. I didn't know what being happy was or where to find it. I didn't even know if it was was something you could find. Happiness was an illusion to me. Nobody knew how I was feeling. Well at least that's what I thought.

Nobody knew how I was really feeling inside, no matter how much I expressed it to them. It was always that one person that said "Everything's going to be okay". Those are liars. How would they know everything was going to be okay? Did they go to sleep every night hoping they wouldn't wake up? Did they cry everyday hoping the tears would drain their body?

No. I don't think they did. What caused me to feel like this? Hell if I tell you that, you'll be reading until next week. I say all of this to say, it's not the end. The liars weren't really liars they were Angels. People sent to me to let me know that I'm here for a reason even if I don't know what that reason is yet.

If you're reading this and going through what I went through, STAY STRONG. I believe in you. You are important. Don't give up. I didn't. I'M STILL HERE.

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.
