20 Things You Know to Be True When You Go From "One of the Guys" to a Sorority Girl

I don't own or even like Lilly, I scream at the TV during UGA Games, and I don't understand the hype of Beyonce.

20 Things You Know to Be True When You Go From "One of the Guys" to a Sorority Girl

Growing up, I can remember feeling like just one of the guys all the time. There were times where I was one out of only maybe 3 girls on a tee-ball team, and the same went for my youth group and my friend group- a majority of guys and a couple of girls. Sometimes I secretly think my dad wanted me to be a boy, as he signed me up for Greg Maddox baseball camps and taught me about cars and hunting and everything else a dad should teach his....son. I don't really consider myself a tomboy after elementary school, as I became a cheerleader, debutante, and had a "clique" of my five best girl friends all throughout high school. But going from little interaction with girls to having almost 200 sisters has taught me that I still may be somewhat of a tomboy at heart.

1. I would still rather wear sneakers, athletic shorts, and t-shirs over anything else, anytime.

2. I catch myself rolling my eyes at 70 percent of today's fashion trends.

3. I am sarcastic with a dry sense of humor, and I have to remind myself that not all my sisters appreciate my humor as much as I do.

4. I had converse before converse were cool, and they are grungy and dirty and that's how i like it.

5. I almost always skip the fruity cocktails, a beer sounds good.

6. Throwing my hair in a Braves cap is the best I can do on a weekday.

7. Dark jeans count for Sunday best at Chapter, right???

8. ESPN notifications take superiority over Instagram notifications during college football season.

9. Before any social outing, the first thing I ask is "cute or bum?" with hopes of bum every single time.

10. I refuse to take pictures for longer than like 45 seconds. Sorry.

11. I hear phrases like "yaaasss" "AF" and "lit" and roll my eyes so hard they could get stuck there at any minute.

12. The only thing Lilly you'll ever catch me owning is the planner. It's a good planner.

13. If you take up my Saturday anytime September through November, there better be a TV and it better have the Dawgs playing.

14. With my crafting skills, I will never get a little. That's it I'm buying everything.

15. Pumpkin Spice anything is gross. Just nasty.

16. My guy friends from home always pull the jokes about me paying for friends, I don't even challenge it anymore.

17. The fact that people enjoy shopping and do it for fun really confuses me. I go in, get what I need, and get out as fast as possible.

18. I'm always the first one ready, I have mastered the 45 minute shower-hair-makeup-clothes process.

19. My music taste is a joke to my sisters- yall keep your Beyonce and Taylor Swift, and give me some 90s country.

20. Joining a sorority is one of the best decisions I've ever made and no matter how different we all may be, my sisters have my heart.

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.
