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.

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.
