The benefits of living a chaotic life

44
Work, Work, Work
Ava Diaz

I don’t think I can make it through a day without my agenda. My daily routine consists of me following the pre-made schedule that I crafted the night before. I know many of you cannot comprehend this statement, but it’s all I can to do get a sense of order in my chaotic life. Often times, I question if I’m even human. I swear I’m equivalent to an energizer bunny. I tend to have a full work load through school, dance team coaching, dance clubs, babysitting, hanging out with friends and the occasional nursery and hostess shifts sprinkled here and there. In essence, there is nothing I love more than being busy.

Obviously it is nice to have a “chill day” here and there but when I have a consistent schedule of absolutely nothing I begin to feel a sense of imbalance in my life. The constant structure of my schedule provides me with the ability to stay on task, be involved and stay attentive. I’ve been living this lifestyle for as long as i can remember. The constant go-go-go approach is pretty much what I’m used to.

Though my lack in sleep can take its toll, I like to consider the fact that (for the most part), I’m doing something remotely productive with my time. With this, many think I’m crazy for constantly involving myself in so many different commitments however, I’m doing these things for me. Yes, I know this sounds pretty self centered, but I choose to do these things in order to gain a stronger sense for who I am and what I value most in my life. I love to be involved and to feel like I’m doing something positive to benefit myself. Obviously overtime my responsibilities begin to pile up however, the degree in passion that I put towards each action only makes everything so much worth it.

I’m not advising you to over book yourself, I am working to persuade you to get involved with activities that you genuinely enjoy. Do what stimulates your mind. Do what develops your being. Do what will benefit you in the long run in any instance.

*I am capable of taking on the world. I am one who puts their passions first. I am aware of my capabilities and contributions to the environment surrounding and together I can work to share my interests in a positive and orderly fashion.*

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.
