Why I Will Never Attend A Frat Party Again

They aren't for everyone and they certainly weren't for me.

Why I Will Never Attend A Frat Party Again
CalvinAyre

Maybe it's because I don't enjoy hanging out with a million sweaty girls while frat boys just stand on the edge and watch you.

After attending a couple, you get the gist:

-Don't bother bringing other guys with you, they will not be allowed in.

-Prepare to have your feet stepped on by drunk girls. A lot.

-Bring your own drinks. Open drinks are not your friends. Just look at how many frats are kicked off campuses for drugging people. For that reason, please bring your own!

-One of your friends will get extremely drunk, maybe even you and that walk back to your dorm will not be fun.

-There is absolutely nothing that you will have in common with frat boys. Except, maybe the fact that both of you somehow ended up drinking together.

The point is they aren't that fun. They're not. The music most likely won't be great. There will be like eight girls to every one guy. Half of the guys in the frat probably already have some girl. So, the chances that you will get with a boy have just lowered exponentially. If you are "lucky" to catch the attention of someone, I feel bad for you. Most, if not all, frat boys have a God complex. They probably think that you are "lucky" to be getting a chance with them. But, let's be real, they will be so arrogant. Do you really want that? They need a reality check!

So, let me give it to them: you're not that special! Just because you are in a frat does not mean a damn thing. I couldn't care less that you are in Alpha whatever or Sigma something. It doesn't matter! I am not interested in going to formal with you. No, I don't want to help my friend slave over making a cooler that you won't care about.

Yes, I understand that not all frat guys are like this. Yes, I understand that not all frats are out there to drug you. Yes, I understand that they are fun to go to, for some people. Yes, I understand that you may disagree with me. Yes, I understand that you may think my reasoning is stupid. Yes, I understand all of these things.

I will take all the criticism that you choose to throw at me because of this article. I'm sure that a lot of you will disagree feel the need to tell me about how your son, brother, friend, cousin, whatever, is different. I don't care! These are my own opinions from my personal experiences. Who knows, maybe no one else feels this way?

But, for the people that do: I am right there with you!

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.

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.
