When you get to college, you have the mind set of no joining clubs or making new friends. Thats what happened to me in my freshman year of college. I thought, okay Im not going to join any clubs and I can make new friends. Im going to go and get my degree and leave. See, one thing of college does to the mind, it changes and opens up your mind to new possibilities.

I joined one of the classes for my major requirement my last year of college and Im regretting it incredibly. See at first, I was afraid of change and being up for new experiences but I have grown from my freshman year to now. I had a friend go to grad school in the UK and I had to adjust to change. During that time, I was so focused on opening up to new possibilities. I joined the school newspaper, made friends from there and definitely awaken my passion for writing. I also, joined the literary journal last semester and I was even brave enough to become an officer for the club. Then thats when it happened. I felt like I was home with my second family. At first, I was afraid because of new faces, mixed with old faces but then I gotten over the fear. Now, Im glad to call them my family. They have become part of my life and became people whom I care a lot about.

We might not be perfect, but at least we enjoy each other's company and we're like siblings. Who are there for each other whenever we need it and pick each other up whenever we're down.

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.
