5 Reasons Why I Am Thankful For My Sorority
Adamblockdesign

In all honesty, I did not picture myself being in a sorority, and I almost didn't rush. Thankfully, I decided to try it, and it was the best thing I could've done. I am so thankful for my sorority, and here is why.

1. Countless sisters

Not only am I surrounded by over 100 friends, but they are also my sisters. It is hard for people who aren't in a sorority to understand the true meaning of the word "sister." It is more than a friend. I know I can count on these girls no matter what, and I could go to any of them for help or advice. There is a sense of belonging and unity when I am with them, which I have never really had before, and it is truly wonderful.

2. The social aspect (of course)

Having over 100 girls, there is always someone I can hang out with. Whether it is going out on the weekend, or just meeting for lunch or coffee, I know my options are limitless. I always have multiple girls who I can go to meet up with for study dates, cuddle sessions, and movie nights.

3. A home away from home

Being away from home, you miss the comforts of a house. Having a sorority house to go to is like having a second home. Not only is it like a home, but you feel a sense of comfort and support. It is a fun place to gather and do crafts or meet with other girls. Plus, it's a nice place to get away from the stuffy dorms.

4. My Big

Having a Big is like having someone who you can always count on and go to if you're in need of some older advice. Not to mention the endless gifts and canvases you get from them are pretty amazing! My big is like an older sister I was never able to have, considering I am an only child. I was so happy when I found out who my Big was, and anyone who has gone through the process can agree with me on how exciting it is.

5. Finding some of my best friends

My sorority has introduced me to so many wonderful girls, and all of them will always have a special place in my heart. However, I have made some true best friends that have blessed my life with their kindness, and support for me. I am so thankful I met them, and I will have them for these next four year of my life, and hopefully more.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
