Personally, thinking about what makes me happy helps relieve the stress and remember the light that's coming at the end of the tunnel. Here are 50 things that make me happy, and probably make you feel happy too:

1. Having a glass of wine after work

2. The smell of a new book

3. The odor of spring rain

4. Pizza.

5. Ice cream

6. Food in general

7. The first snowfall

8. Finishing a novel

9. Getting an A on a test you studied really hard for

10. New makeup

11. Zoos

12. Nature

13. Traveling

14. The summer sun

15. Coffee

16. Coffee x2.

17. Chocolate

18. The ocean

19. Purring cats

20. Hiking

21. Meeting new people

22. Exploring a new place

23. Flowers

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

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.
