Forget The Negative Views

We Are More Than Just Stitched Letters

I said it. I’m not a sorority girl. I'm more than what society portrays me along with other women across the United States to be: dumb, self-absorbed, and spoiled. That’s where people are wrong.

Everyday you hear people degrading other women for joining a sorority because it’s ‘dumb’ or a 'waste of time'. That’s not the case. A sorority is not any of those phrases; it’s more than that.

A sorority is place where you can be yourself, surround yourself with other women who are hard working, intelligent, driven, and want to make an impact in the world. This is a place where you grow as a person and change the lives of others.

I don’t have to justify my accomplishments nor should any of the women in any affiliated sorority, wear your letters and chant those catchy cants as loud as you can because these women in your sorority have impacted you in more ways than you know.

Moreover, forget what people say or think of you joining a particular sorority. Take that leap because the next four years will fly by and you will not want to regret surrounding yourself with women who will make you a better person by the time you graduate.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
