Why Van Life is Actually a Good Thing

In This Article:

Van life is taking the world by storm! People have been living in tiny homes for a while now, but the idea of having a tiny home in van is trending at the moment and is getting many people interested.


1. It Saves You Money

Instead of renting an apartment and buying a car, you can combine the two. Renovating the van to feel like home can cost you a good bit of money, but it will be so much cheaper in the long run because instead of paying monthly rent and car bills, you are just paying for one thing and you can easily get an older model, used van for cheap.

2. You Can Be More Environmental Friendly

Yes, vans take gas and that is awful for the atmosphere, but you can help save the planet in other ways. One example is living in a van can help you conserve water. When in an actual home, you have an endless supply of water pretty much. Since the water is always there, you really take for granted how much water you actually use. When in a van, you only have a certain amount of gallons of water to use and you have to go out to get more. Having to get the water yourself can really make you appreciate water more.

You will also have less trash. You are not going to want to have a whole bunch of stuff in such a confined space, so you will really be aware of the amount of trash you use and find ways to reduce that.

3. It Makes Traveling Easier

When you want to go on vacation, you have to book a hotel and sometimes rent a car. At certain times, hotels and rental cars can be either booked or very expensive. Living in a van can get rid of that problem. You can go anywhere you want to and never have to worry about needing a place to stay or getting transportation.

4. You’ll Never Be Homesick

When living in a van, you never have to leave home. If you are out and feeling a little homesick, you just have to walk a short distance back to your van and there you are, home!

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.
