44 Signs You Know You Are A Frat Rat
google.com

The term "Frat Rat" is often used to describe a girl (i.e sorority girl) who frequents the fraternities of her school. Often. It's debatable if the boys of the house love or hate her, but either way she simply does not care. She may have a favorite fraternity, or she might not hold any preferences and just have an affliction for smelly houses, rude boys and cheap liquor.

Regardless if you frolic down your fraternity row Thursday through Sunday or have a permeant home there, here are 44 ways you know you are a Frat Rat:

1. You have a favorite house, and no matter where your social is, you usually end up there anyway.

2. The brothers in the house know you by name, and don't really stop you from going into any particular room.

3. You've asked if you could sit in on chapter, and they've actually considered saying yes.

4. You might as well pay dues, because let's be honest you use the house as much as the people who actually pay do.

5. You no longer mind the taste of Crowne Russe or Vlad.

6. You've found yourself eating food out of their kitchen more than once, and feel completely comfortable with their chef.

7. You know where they keep their "good food" and have no shame in taking a fork directly to their pasta stash.

8. You've drunkenly stumbled into their kitchen at 3 a.m. with no shoes on to find there are no cups, and drink water out of a bowl.

9. Even though you don't want to admit it, you've showered there.

10. You've hooked up with multiple (multiple) people in the house.

11. You own knock off "Jeffs"

12. And your boobs are probably out of the outfit you're wearing around Fratland.

13. Your Uber stays at a flat rate of $6.80 because you're always getting rides home from the same place.

14. You're used to squatting over the toilet.

15. You've come to like knock-off soda brand more than the real brand.

16. The smell of the bathroom does not make you want to puke anymore.

17. When they no longer ask you "What sorority are you in?" or "who do you know here" at the door.

18. When "FFF" is a standard part of your vocabulary.

19. When lofted beds that are being held up solely by chains drilled into the ceiling does not make you fear for your life.

20. When you get frat letters henna tattooed on you during spring break in PV.

21. When your entire wardrobe is frat letters.

22. And you probably have the matching sweatpants as well.

23. You know the code.

24. ... to the front door.

25. ...and back door.

26. The side door by the volleyball court.

27. And even the one below the stairs by the kitchen.

28. You know the names of each room.

29. And you feel entitled to just walk upstairs at any time during the party or any other time of the day.

30. You've hung out there soberly during the day.

31. You most likely have a composite from the house.

32. Okay maybe three.

33. You know how to get past the pledges in any situation.

34. And you have a favorite pledge, who you text like they are your own.

35. You've walked in during a lineup, and are scared for life.

36. You have one song that will always remind you of that house.

37. You steal their alcohol and have no shame about it anyway.

38. You nap there after a daylong, and don't feel bad about staying for their social that night.

39. When you're at the house more than the brothers.

40. And you have an open invite to case races, rush events, 21st pregames and any other event you can name.

41. You've been to their FFF more than once

42. And will probably go even if you are not invited.

43. You love them like they're your own.

44. You also might be banned from the house, and not just: "oh, haha let's not go there tonight" more like: "we've sent your picture to the pledges and you really are not allowed here" banned.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
