Whether you're in high school or college, it is the best thing to date an athlete. You get to be their biggest supporter and show off to everyone that you're dating whatever number they are. Through all the wins and losses and sweat, you're so proud to have them in your life.

1. When it comes to football, linemen are usually big, so you'll get cozy sweaters.

What girl doesn’t want an XL sweatshirt to wear all the time?

2. You get to wear their jersey number.

There is nothing more exciting than being in the stands and cheering on your guy with his jersey number on.

3. They care about the people around them.

They know what it is like to work with people and will treat you with respect.

4. They are always strong.

What athlete isn't strong?

5. The after-game pictures you get to take.

You don’t care how sweaty they are, you’re just too darn proud and want everyone to know that he is yours.

6. They will be your best teammate.

They already know how to work with their team and can deal with any situation.

7. You will have a workout partner.

You don’t have to worry about them complaining about being at the gym.

8. You can brag about how great they are on the field.

Did you see that awesome tackle #74 made? Yeah, that one is mine.

9. You get to take road trips for their away games.

Snacks, your friends, and a trip to another city to watch your athlete play. That sounds pretty great.

10. They are goal-oriented.

Sports make people more disciplined and determined. With any goal, your athlete has ambition.

11. You are each other’s biggest supporters.

During game season, you’re both giving it 110 percent, and it makes everything worth it.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

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.
