11 Thoughts That Went Through My Head During Rush
tumblr

Before joining a sorority, I was super on the fence about going through rush. High School proved to me that girls are cat-like creatures that should be caged away from the rest of society--but that's besides the point.

With persuasion from my friends that were going through recruitment, I decided to go for it, and here are the thoughts that whirled through my head during rush.


1. I'm sweaty

Am I nervous? Yes. Is it hot outside? Very. Bring on the blotting powder.

2. How are these girls so peppy at 9am

I'm not gonna fit in. I'm not as pumped up as everyone else. AHHHHH OH wait their pep is contagious. I'm ready to get my girl flirt on.

3. Wow everyone here is flawless


No homo, but you make Kim K. look like a trashcan.

4. I feel like I'm yelling


Totally am. It's loud af and I wanna talk about my major and hometown for the 758th time today.

5. I'm sweatier than before


WOW DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS EVEN POSSIBLE. K.

6. Am I smiling too much?

7. Do I have RBF?

it's probably because I was smiling too much earlier

8. Should I eat the food on the table?


Then I'll be talking with my mouth full of food and these look like some classy ladies. I don't deserve to be in their presence.

9. My feet/head/voice hurts

10. I have nothing in common with this girl


I'm just gonna sit here and smile and pretend like this convo isn't the most boring thing that I've ever been apart of in my life.

11. I have so much in common with this girl


Can I just talk to you the whole time PLEASEEEEE?

10. I'm hungry

Why didn't I eat those cookies on the table😑

11. HOLY HECK I JUST MET MY BEST FRIEND.


And she's now my Big.

Rush is a hectic time, but it's so so worth it.

Go in with an open mind, and even if you don't wanna go through rush, let your friends force you to. lol. As cheesy as it sounds, I found my people and my home.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
