There are many positions within a sorority. Many come with high responsibilities, glamour, handling and guarding money, and sleep depravation.. The job of a social chairman does all of the above and more. Sometimes it seems that there are barely any boundaries around a social chairman. I have been my sorority's social chairman for two years now and although it can be stressful, I have loved every minute of it. This position may come off as being a "fun" or "silly" job, but it is actually very exhausting and draining. Here is a look inside of what being a social chairman feels like.

1. You probably have paint, glitter or colored marker somewhere on your body at all times.

2. You have a Pinterest board for every occasion, themed party or formal.

3. Sometimes you get into making decorations for hours and forget to eat or even act like a normal human.

4. When you pick a theme for your formal, you go all out.

LIKE ALL OUT.

LIKE WAYYY OUT THERE.

5. You are busy making sure that everyone has fun at an event that by the time you try and join in on the fun everything is over.

6. When people ask you if you are excited for your own event you are planning...

7. When you overhear a sister saying she will skip your event for a date...

8. Sometimes you have to pretend that you are not stressed out with all of this responsibility...

9. When someone asks you to change the theme for your semi-formal...

10. When you recruit the best team of artsy sisters to help you with decorations...

11. When fraternity social chairmen give you the lamest ideas for socials...

12. You also give the best formal dress advice. Because you are the Queen of All Things Formal.

13. In addition, you give the best advice of what to wear after formal...

14. When you are always The Sober Sister and look at the people at the cash bar at formal...

15. Let's be honest. Your events may not always be successful, so just keep being the person that makes boring things fun!

16. You can decide who your sorority will associate with.

17. Deciding sober sisters can be like...

18. You are basically risk management because you can manage all of your own crazy risks you have taken. People learn from experience, right?

19. You learn to put people in their place like a boss.

21. You can't please everyone, and that is okay.

22. When you have to pull teeth to get a good attendance from your chapter...

24. You will always be 50 percent chaperone and 50 percent ruling the dance floor from afar.

23. When you hear people talking about how awesome your event was around campus and you are low key just like...

24. When you have extra room in the budget and your conscience tells you to just...

25. You have become used to playing catch up after events.

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.
