4 Reasons Why You Should Play The Field
Huff Post

If you're single and not tied down to anyone that is okay. Being single is fun but you have your freedom to go on as many dates as you want with however many guys you want. Here are some reasons why it is okay to play the field.

1. You get to meet new people.

When you are single and looking to date or just looking for friends you get to meet new people. You get to meet all different types of guys or girls whatever your preference is. You get to know them and who these people are. You may be surprised that the "Jock" that you are seeing is more than a sports fan but deep down he is sensitive and sweet maybe even a secret nerd.

2. You're young

You are young so take that time to meet new people and date who you want. Whoever you date may or sometimes may not be the person you marry. But these people will teach you a lesson and show you what you want or do not want when dating.

3. You get to experience different things.


When you meet these people it is more than likely that they will have different likes and dislikes. When you learn this and one of the likes that he enjoys has been one you have been dying to try you should take that opportunity and do that activity. It's not using them for that it just gives you an excuse to experience different things and connect over one thing.

4. You find out what you like or dislike about a potential date.


By dating (not all at once at different times.. unless that is how you roll) different guys you get to figure out what personality types and other things that you prefer or do not want in a guy. Let's say one guy is a gym addict and a movie junkie and another guy you saw is a huge sports fan and his car is his life and you like guy number one's traits better than number two in the future you would look for guys more like number one.

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.

Each Disney Princess has their own personality, and chances are you've got a friend in your group to match it.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning. No matter how functionally dysfunctional your friend group may be, if you're anything like me, you feel absolutely blessed to have found such a wonderful group of humans to call "your people." Here is what your friend group might look like if they were Disney princesses (and that wasn't just a thing you all pretended in your heads):
