Five Guys You'll Meet In Your Pledge Class

They are your best friends for the next four years. I might as well warn you.

The angel. He drank his first beer on bid day. He tries just a little bit too hard to fit in. His parents had dual heart attacks on parent’s weekend when they saw their little darling sporting a natty while coughing up his 10th cigarette since birth. He can kill a joke faster than he coughs up shots. He’s been in a relationship for the past four years and has no plans of ending it. He stands amidst house parties with a look that closely resembles that of a 10 year-old boy who has discovered the playboy channel.

The tank. He chuckles at the sight of a two story funnel. He started nose guard on his high school at 250. He boasts a carpet of chest hair that is repulsive in more ways than one. He drinks nonstop and is always in search of the post-bar, late-night party. He breaks things, a lot of things. He can say whatever he wants in public because no one in their right mind would poke a bear, especially one who just won the case race before 5 p.m.

Womanizer. He’s charming with a reputation to keep up. He’s your pretty boy bartender who manages to hit on a different girl every night. He’s a name and face that girls will associate with your fraternity with mixed feelings. He does not understand the term “wingman,” nor will he ever be one. He's the reason for countless grudges between sorority sisters. He hasn’t been in a relationship since middle school and she still drunk calls him every night.

The blackout. He is the normal American college student until happy hour comes to a close. His face appears more on bars' banned lists than it does in class. He doesn’t know what the inside of some bars look like despite throwing a bar stool or urinating in the trashcan at some point in all of them, just last week. All the bouncers know him by name and always assume he started the fight for a reason. He did start it. Every single time. 

Born and bred pain in the rear. English is his second language, after sarcasm. He maintains that everyone owes him some amount of money. He has never bought a round of shots, but you can bet that he’s the first to get his hands on a freebie. His tires are always squalling as he peels around every turn in the tank he calls a truck.  He’s the guy who gets you and all your friends arrested for the barrage of profanity he aimed at the nearest street cop.  Worst of all – he’s smiling in his mug shot.

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.

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.
