Volunteering and giving back to my community is one of my favorite hobbies. It's how I have a large number of service hours to date, and one of the main reasons I'm in a service sorority (yes, those exist). It helps you to see things from other's perspectives, and on top of that, it can grant you some wholesome new people in your life because you're all united for one reason: volunteering!

So take it from me, single fellas (and ladies): Girls who volunteer make some of the best girlfriends ever. I advise you to listen up and take notes.

1. They work hard.

Being a woman of service means putting in work. Don't think they're all work and no play, though (although some might be, and that's OK), these girls can manage a balancing act of working hard and setting time aside to have some fun and kick back. Which brings me to my next reason...

2. They have their priorities straight.

No sarcasm here. Let's picture a scenario: A girl comes home from a fun Friday night downtown with her friends and they had a little much to drink, but she has a volunteer event the next morning. Does she stay home to nurse her possible hangover? No, she wakes up at the crack of dawn, gets dressed and goes out to save the world with volunteering. If that's not super admirable, I don't know what is!

3. They're humble.

If you didn't know now, volunteering in your community will humble you real fast. You're exposed to different situations and people with different backgrounds and backstories. And when you volunteer in something like feeding the homeless, it will open your eyes to a new reality and leave you with a new mindset (hopefully).

4. They have hearts of gold.

It's really not every day that you get to meet someone who actually cares about others. A girl who loves to do service is likely passionate about one cause - or more than one. She's very likely to carry that same fiery passion into the relationship!

5. They're not afraid to try new things.

Doing service in your community is amazing because there's something for everyone. While you're bound to find a cause you really love or an event you love to do yearly or weekly, you have endless opportunities to try out new events! A girl who volunteers will push you to get out there and expand your horizons. You can even make cute little dates out of it!

6. They're loyal AF.

And no, I'm not exaggerating! Girls who do service are bound to be the most loyal girlfriends you'll ever have. They're not about the nonsense and will love you with their whole heart and more.

The bottom line: If you get a girl who loves to do service and give back to her community, keep her because she is a real gem.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
