10 Emotions You're Feeling During Rush Week As Emoted By The Friends From 'Friends'

Warner Bros. TV

It's finally here! Rush season is among us and whether you're a freshie jumping out of your pants with excitement or an upperclassman ready to rock it, a whole range of emotions is among you... and who better to express those emotions to others than the cast of "Friends"? Now you can finally relate to your daughter calling you during the day saying she's starving or dying of heat stroke during rush. Here are just a few of the emotions that everyone will experience during their week on the row.

HOT

Giphy

Let's be real, we're in Alabama people. It's constantly 95 plus degrees and you're sitting in the blazing sun waiting on going into the next house. Bless that Theta is in Bryant-Denny this year because we LOVE that AC cranking. Even if it rains, it's still hot. So get out your mini fans that connect to your phone and reapply your make up after every house, because you're going to sweat a lot!

EXCITED

Giphy

This is the first step to something big. Each house you walk into, you could be meeting your new sisters. So why shouldn't you be excited?!?!? With door songs and smiles in your face, there is no way you can't be grinning ear to ear when you walk into those mansions.

SHOCKED

Giphy

Two words. Door Songs. It's a slap in the face when the actives open the door and the chants of each house explode. If you're in the front row of lineup, good luck because it's an experience, to say the least. Also, if you're from the north, you're not at home any more people, welcome to Alabama Greek life.

WORRIED

Giphy

Awaiting for your Rho Chi to return with your upcoming schedule for the day is to say the least nerve wrecking. Did my favorite house like me? Will I get an invite back? And don't forget the potential dreaded phone call at 7 a.m., they are never easy.

AWKWARD

Giphy

Have an awkward conversation with a girl in a house? It happens to everyone. No worries, it's not as bad as you think, or as Phoebe and Chandler kissing. They will look at you as a whole person and not just based on one conversation. So if you're trapped in that fake smile and awkward pauses, it's okay the parties are only 20 min.

TIRED

Giphy

You. will. crash. After the first day of open house, you'll plop on your bed and not wake up until 7 a.m. the next morning ready to do it all again. It only gets worse throughout the week, so drink your Starbucks and put on a morning face, because it is absolutely exhausting.

SAD

Giphy

Everyone gets dropped from houses that they absolutely adored. Unless you're a supermodel with a 4.0 GPA and helped starving kids in Africa, it happens. Don't be too disappointed because it just means they were not for you and you'll find your home elsewhere! If you get dropped totally, it sucks, but there are other options on UA's campus where you can still get involved.

HUNGRY

Giphy

Burke pizza buffet, bless you. If you're like me and forgot to bring snacks the first day you may just push some girls down in the dining halls trying to go for the food at lunch time. Everyone is working up an appetite and everyone will be chowing down come lunch and dinner time.

FRIENDLY

Giphy

The best part about rush: meeting new people. Whether it's in your Rho Chi group or in the houses, those girls could be your friends for life. So take advantage of the time you have together, you're all experiencing the same things and going through it as a group. Plan a late night ice cream run and make some friends cause that's what it's all about.

UNSTOPPABLE

Giphy

Be confident. If I could give any personal advice, since I went through rush twice, it's to shake those nerves and be bold going into each house. The girls see that and admire it, which is a great quality to look for when seeking a new member. Always have great posture, hold your head high, and smile like you own the place.

Rush could be one of the best experiences of your life if you make it one. A huge wave of emotions is totally normal and every other girl can relate.

Take advantage of the opportunity you have there and shine! You won't be a rushie for long!

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.

75 degrees and sunny, plus, no humidity. I mean do I really need to say more?

Perfect Weather

You'll get an effortless tan

You can exercise with a view

You don't have to worry about bug bites

In n Out all day, every day

We have outdoor concerts

We live where people vacation

Because let's be honest, we all use lyrics.

1. “Don’t get too close, it’s dark inside. It's where my demons hide.”

2. “Tonight, we are young.”

3. “Cuz I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it.”

4. “Tell me how they got that pretty little face on that pretty little frame.”

5. “I can’t wait to fall in love with you, you can’t wait to fall in love with me.”

6. “Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin with no makeup on.”

7. “Why you so obsessed with me?”

8. “We ain’t ever getting older.”

9. “I didn’t know that I was starving until I tasted you.”

10. “Didn’t they tell you I’m a savage?"

11. “I’m gonna make you miss me.”

12. "Cheers to the freakin weekend.”

13. “Love’s a game. Wanna play?”

14. “You don’t know about me, but I bet you want to.”

15. “Let’s set each other’s lonely nights, Be each other’s paradise.”

16. “Trippin’ on skies, sippin’ waterfalls."

17. “Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days.”

18. “But you will remember me for centuries.”

19. “Something about you makes me feel like a dangerous woman."

20. “Don’t act like it’s a bad thing to fall in love with me.”

21. “Darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.”

22. “Find me where the wild things are.”

23. “I’m high on lovin’ you.”

24. “If you’re gonna be somebody’s heartbreak, somebody’s mistake, if you’re gonna be somebody’s first time, somebody’s last time, be mine.”

25. “Don’t be afraid to take the road less traveled on.”

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

1. "Talk about a dream Try to make it real You wake up in the night With a fear so real Spend your life waiting For a moment that just don't come Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)

2. "It's a town full of losers/ I'm pulling out of here to win" (Thunder Road)

3. "You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above" (Tunnel of Love)

4. "I got something in my heart/ I been waitin' to give/ I got a life I wanna start/ One I been waitin' to live" (Leah)

5. “God have mercy on the man/ Who doubts what he’s sure of” (Brilliant Disguise)

7. “Is a dream a lie when it don’t come true, or is it something worse?” (The River)

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
