Recruitment is hectic to say the least. You have to remember door chants as well as the names and conversations you have with dozens of girls. However, the lead up to recruitment can be difficult as well as house require their members to find and wear very specific clothing items for recruitment. Finding clothes in certain colors, fabrics, and styles can be a huge struggle, so here are some stores that I would recommend giving a try.

1. Forever 21

Forever 21 is a great place to buy recruitment clothes when you’re looking for something cheap that you’re probably only going to wear once. Forever 21 is also a good place to find basic, inexpensive jewelry.I recommend looking here if you want to buy cheap denim shorts or skirts that as they have many different styles in lots of different washes. It is the best place to find strange colored shoes as well. Last year for recruitment quite a few of my sorority sisters bought grey heels from here as they were only around $20 and difficult to find anywhere else.

2. Charlotte Russe

I’ve never ordered anything from Charlotte Russe, but I know a lot of people who have for recruitment and who have been very pleased with what they have received. One thing I love about Charlotte Russe is that they are aware that women come in more than one size and have items in more sizes than most companies offer.

3. Nordstrom Rack

Go here for shoes! You won’t always walk away with the shoes you were looking for, but you may stumble upon what you were looking for at a discounted price. After checking store after store for grey heels that were actually cute, I found a pair at Nordstrom Rack that was cute and half price.

4. H&M

H&M is a great place to find basic items that are well made and will last you a while. They have lots of basic dresses under $15 in colors that change seasonally.

5. Lulus

Lulu’s is the best place to look for dresses as they have a ton of styles in an array of different colors. (PSA: This is also a great place to get formal dresses!) Additionally, this is a great store to find suede heels in every color you could imagine.

6. Target

Target is great if you’re looking for a relatively cheap pair of basic black or nude heels or basic gold or silver jewelry. Target is also a fantastic place to look for sandals, as they usually have many different styles that are actually comfortable.

7. American Eagle

If you’re looking to invest in a good pair of denim shorts or a skirt, check out American Eagle. They have lots of different styles and washes and while they are more expensive than Forever 21, they will also last you a while.

8. Amazon

While I personally have never bought clothing or shoes from Amazon, I have heard great things from my sorority sisters. Apparently, Amazon is a good place to find stylish dresses and rompers for really cheap.

9. ASOS

While ASOS’s clothes are not the cheapest, it is a great place to look if you want clothing that actually has character, instead of the basic items you’ll find at a lot of stores. ASOS also has lots of different styles and colors of shoes than most companies. ASOS offers more sizes than most companies.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
