If you have ever considered joining a sorority, just do it. Go through recruitment to see if it is the right fit for you. If you decide during the process that this is not what you want, then that is OK and your decision.

I know what you're thinking, I bet it's like the sororities I see in movies and TV shows, they all buy each other's friendships, I won't fit in, etc. It's OK, I went through this same process in August 2018. Honestly, I went through the recruitment process just to get the experience, I didn't even plan on joining a sorority at the end of it all. But on the second and third day, I started to change my mind and ended up joining Chi Omega.

There's going to be those people who listen to stereotypes and try to talk you out of going through the process, but if it's what you want, do it. Don't be scared. It can be scary but it is a great experience and you might make a few friends out of it, even if you don't end up joining a sorority at all.

Do what you want, you might love it, you might hate it, but in the end, you won't regret your decision. I know I don't. Since I decided to join Chi Omega, I have made so many great friends at my college. Before joining, I had maybe three friends if that, and now I can message or call anyone in my sorority and they'll be down to talk or hang out. I don't regret going through recruitment as a junior or accepting the bid. I think if I had decided to not go through the process, I would've regretted it more because I wanted to go through recruitment sophomore year and decided against it.

If you're nervous about meeting all the girls in each sorority, don't be. They are just as nervous and anxious as you are, if not more. Trust the process and just enjoy it. Be yourself. Have fun. Relax.

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.

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.
