5 Things I Learned From Dating A Sorority Girl
Facebook

Before I started dating the most amazing woman in the world, I had only ever experienced sorority life through movies. They showed sorority girls as pretty pink and perfect. Turns out the movies have a few things to learn. There are things about sororities that you just can't truly appreciate until you have lived it. Here are a few things I learned from dating a sorority girl:

1. You somehow know everyone

Suddenly knowing nearly everyone on campus is pretty cool, but you really start to realize how bad you are with names. Everyone is either a sister, a friend of a sister, a boyfriend/girlfriend of a sister, or an frenemy of a sister. Keeping up with who you are supposed to know is just impossible. Learn to smile and wave.

2. Glitter is life

You went from having maybe one glitter pen to having a quart size box of the pretty blue kind, ten separate tubes, five glitter pens, and three different kinds of body glitter. Also it gets EVERYWHERE; you can never truly get rid of it.

3. Girl Power is real

Seeing so much girl power in action is amazing. How quickly these girls are ready to help each other is inspiring. Whether you are stuck in a restaurant parking lot with a dead car battery or you really need a study buddy for a big test these girls have your back.

4. You know everyone's business

You find yourself knowing everything about everyone. You know things about people you have never even met. Getting all of the gossip for the week can last anywhere from thirty minutes to six hours.

5. You find a home

You fall in love with this sweet girl because she's funny, kind, cute, smart, and just generally an amazing person. And before you know it you are a part of this huge loving family who really care about each other. So the last thing I learned is while sororities are a great place to make friends they are actually the perfect place to find a home.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
