20 Reasons You Should Live In Your Sorority House

Movies and television shows have painted the idea of living in a sorority house with 50 other girls as a nightmare, but that could not be further from the truth. If you hate late nights full of laughter, pizza parties, movies and being able to say you made the most of your college years with the girls you consider to be your sisters, then you should stick to the dorms or find an apartment. If you would enjoy any of the 20 following experiences, then you should definitely consider calling your sorority house your home:


1. It’s basically a 24/7 sleepover.


2. Your best friends are always within 100 feet of you.


3. Chef-prepared meals

Goodbye, cafeterias.


4. A never ending snack supply

And to see just how fast people will run to the kitchen when someone sends a message to the in-house girls GroupMe that there are brownies downstairs


5. You just have to roll out of bed and walk down the hall to get to chapter.

Forget that mile walk you made daily freshman year.


6. Monday night "The Bachelor" watch parties


Don't we all, Olivia?


7. You’re forced to have a social life.


But you can always find someone to stay in with you and binge-watch Friends.


8. The number of closets you have to choose from is almost overwhelming.


9. Worried about sleeping through your alarm? You have 50 friends to make sure you make it to that 8 a.m. you should’ve never signed up for.


10. It’s often cheaper than dorm or apartment rent.


11. You can walk around looking like a total slob because you don’t have to worry about awkwardly running into that guy in your biology class you think is really cute.



12. No one will judge you for hanging up all 10 canvases your big painted for you with your Greek letters on them. It’s actually encouraged.


13. You don’t have to pay for laundry.


14. The security guard will grow to be your friend. He’s seen you at your best and definitely at your worst.


15. You always have a bed to crawl into between recruitment parties when you’re stuck in the house all day.


16. You never have to walk to your classes alone. There’s always someone headed in the same direction.


17. Nothing beats a jam session in the bathroom while getting ready with all your friends before a night out.


18. Decorating the house with your sisters for holidays and special occasions is always a party.

Pull out the tacky sweaters and turn up the Christmas carols.


19. You'll learn more about your sorority sisters than you thought possible.


20. You’ll have the experience of a lifetime and memories to last just as long.

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.
