What is the truth?

The Truth Hurts
https://processandfaith.org/can-prehension-lead-to-truth/

The truth is we all lie. We all have lied way bigger than white ones too. We wouldn't be human if we haven't lied more than a couple times to protect ourselves or someone else. So why do we shun others and act like they are the only ones that have ever lied to someone when we catch them lying to us? Because the truth hurts.

Even if it's a white lie about your breath smelling bad or if it's a huge lie and your best friend has been sneaking around with your significant other. Maybe your lie is that love someone, but you want to leave them, or maybe it's that you're wearing the same jeans. for the second day in a row. Whether it's a small lie or a big lie we always believe it's better than the truth.

The truth always hurts and that's why we think it's better to avoid it and lie than to tell how we really feel and as much as we hate to admit it, we like to lie. We don't like to be told that yes, our teeth could be straighter and yes, our bodies aren't perfect. Nobody wants to be told that people don't want them around. So we lie.

We don't always lie to protect others, sometimes we lie to our protect ourselves. We don't always want to admit that we have done wrong because we are embarrassed so for some reason we blame others and think that if we tell ourselves they are the issue enough times, we believe it.

But, we wouldn't be human without lying. It's inventible and even though it hurts, it will never not happen.

The truth is, everybody lies.

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.
