You Aren't A 'Carolina Girl' Until...

An explanation to the "wow" you hear when you tell people when you live in the all girls dorm on campus.

You Aren't A 'Carolina Girl' Until...
Caroline Saviano

What's better than sharing a hall bathroom with 20 other girls? A lot. What's better than having 45 instant BFFs you first week of school? Nothing! Here's an *exclusive* look into the all girls residence hall at Elon University.

Being a Carolina girl gives you a certain aura. We are the fun and friendly girls on campus; our Youtube video even says so. You'll know instantly how to spot a Carolina girl because we are probably going through one of these struggles. And if you are a Carolina residence, have a good laugh at our day to day life :-)

You aren't a Carolina Girl until..

1. You wear an entire outfit of clothes that don't belong to you - we're girls and we share a lot of clothes.

2. You attend Wine Wednesday.

3. You post "Does anyone have ____ I can borrow?" in the hall group chat.

4. You also post "Can someone let me in at the back door" in the group chat because you never have your Phoenix card.

5. You leave your door open for a minute and suddenly there's five different people walking in.

6. You also can't lock your door because then how will your random visitors get in?

7. You have to witness a Smith boy run down the hall undressed because they lost a bet.

8. You bang on the ceilings at 1 AM because the floor above you is rowdy and you have an 8 AM.

9. You wander down the hall to find an open bed to take a nap in.

10. You tell an upperclassmen you live in Carolina and they get really sentimental if they lived here and demand you let them in to see your room.

11. You tell an upperclassmen guy you live in Carolina and they immediately get really weird about it.

12. You play Cards Against Humanity in the hallway.

13. You are actually always hanging out in the hallway because you don't have a common room.

14. You're willing to wait an extra half hour for YOUR shower you used on the first day; it's a routine.

15. You blast or hear someone blasting High School Musical in the shower - especially Get'Cha Head in The Game.

16. You make awkward eye contact with someone at the door so you have to go let them in.

17. You get sad and immediately have 8 girls cuddling with you.

18. You wander down the hall and ask anyone if they've gotten food yet because you don't want to go alone.

19. You and your hall mates uber to cookout at 3 AM because it's a necessity - you'll get it if you go here.

20. You move someone's sh*t/your sh*t gets moved out of a washer or dryer.

21. You have to basically sell a limb if you want to wash your clothes on a Sunday.

22. You promise yourself every Thursday you won't go out but your best friends talk you into it.

23. You don't go out and get FOMO because the whole hall comes back screaming about how fun "Boat House" or "Porch" was - again, you'll get it if you go here.

24. You wake up to the whole hall decorated for your birthday and for every holiday.

25. You and your whole hall goes way too hard for themed parties; Carolina floor 1 wore wigs once.

26. You feel bad for everyone who doesn't live here.

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.

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.
