If You Find Yourself At A Frat Party, Do This, But Not This

College can mean many things for students. But, if you go to a school with a big Greek life population there are a few things that everyone should know:

1. Don't leave your drink unattended.

Not everybody has good intentions. The safety of you and your friends should come before all else.

2. Do arrange for rides.

Chances are you will be moving from party to party, which could be pretty expensive if you intend on ubering everywhere. Therefore, have a general plan of action ahead of time.

3. Don't sit on the toilet seat.

SQUAT, or just hold it if you can. They are gross, gross and more gross. Plus, there is never any toilet paper.

4. Do eat that greasy pizza at 3 am.

OK maybe don't do this every night, but it is very satisfying on occasion. No regrets.

5. Don't lose your fracket.

Having a "frat jacket" is an absolute must. When you feel like you're about to get pneumonia you will be thankful for that extra layer.

6. Do dance. A lot.

And do it like no one is watching. Nothing says college better than dancing with your friends in a grimy basement.

7. Don't go overboard on social media.

We get it. You have friends and are having fun. Why prove it to people that could care less by posting a minute story?

8. Do stay with your friends.

Does this one even need to be explained? No one should ever get left behind.

9. Don't wear anything you remotely care about.

Just saying, it will become destroyed.

10. Do bring a hair tie.

An absolute MUST if you don't want to feel (and look) like there is a wet mop on your head.

Frat parties can be a great time when done right. Making the right decisions will ultimately help shape your entire undergraduate experience and create ever lasting memories.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
