The end of the semester is here and there couldn't be a bigger sigh of relief to follow. And now that we have been here an entire semester, we can all agree there are things we have all experienced whether we are Greek life or not, male or female.
1. The basic three questions.
Name? Hometown? Major?
2. Fight the stereotype of where you're from.
People will probably have a preconceived idea of where you're from. Good luck.
3. Loud/crazy hall mates.
Maybe you got lucky and your floor is like a nice small community. But for those of us not so lucky...
4. Finals week.
You thought high school was hard.
5. Isolated from the outside world.
The only issues you fully know about are the issues on campus, unless it's really big of course.
6. Appearances.
You might have looked good and tried for high school, but things change. Showering becomes a task in itself.
7. Food.
We either feel like we've eaten way too much, or we have gone days without consuming a single bite. There's no in between.
8. Money.
Nothing needs to be said for this one.
9. No filter.
At least for me, I've stopped holding back as much.
10. Family away from family.
The people we met quickly became a family away from family because you don't really have a choice.
11. Going home for holidays.
Sleeping in your bed is nice and going home to see the pets is important. But suddenly, you feel like you have so much free time and you feel lost without your friends since you've gone the whole semester by their side.
