Everyone loves a good frat party, I mean you've got the three B's: beers, booze, and boys.

However there are some unspoken rules that everyone should be aware of to have a fratastic night. The unspoken rules are as followed: 

  • Don't be the weird person in the corner, Seriously, branch out and meet people
  • Do go with a group of your friends
  • Don't EVER take your shoes off, no matter how much they hurt. Jenna Marbles did say, "you are married to your shoes." 
  • Do pregame while getting ready- it's more fun to jam out to a Katy Perry song and do your makeup a bit tipsy. 
  • Don't drink and drive (obviously) a taxi cab is a lot cheaper than a DUI. 
  • Do know your limits when drinking, no one wants to be that person. Besides you'll want to remember that cutie you were dancing with and trade numbers at the end of the evening.
  • Don't be a party pooper- a frat party isn't the time or the place to get into with your boyfriend/girlfriend/slampiece. 
  • Do wear something comfortable- because nothing is worse than talking with that hottie in your psych class and having to readjust your outfit every two seconds. (also keep in mind that beer will more than likely be spilt on you.)
  • Do respect the security, they are just doing their jobs- glorified babysitting, and I'm sure they would much rather be doing their own thing than watching you- besides there is not any reason to be disrespectful. 
  • Don't EVER, under ANY circumstances take opened drinks from random strangers, no matter how cute or charming they may seem.  
  • Do eat before you go out- trust me you will not regret that decision.
  • Don't be the person in the corner who is trying to eat someone's face. No one wants to watch that. 
  • Do carry a wallet instead of a purse, it is easier to hang onto. Besides all you really need when you go out is your ID, student ID, money, and your phone. 
  • Don't go home with anyone until you tell your friends that you came with. It might give you a way out of a awkward situation, and plus your friends would worry if you didn't. 
  • Do be nice-you attract more flies with honey than vinegar. 
  • Don't be the first there and most certainly don't be the last one to leave.
  • Do know your boundaries, if someone isn't into you then back off, nothing is more embarrassing than being the creepy, obnoxious person.   
  • Don't be afraid to let loose and have some fun. College is the best four years of your life! (Unless you make the victory lap.)

Stick to these unspoken rules and you'll be just fine. I promise college is about making mistakes, doing crazy things, and meeting the best of friends. Enjoy it while you can! 

"In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is Freedom, and in water there is bacteria."-Benjamin Franklin

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.
