Anyone who has ever lived in a sorority house can agree on one thing: it’s never boring. Seemingly normal activities like eating dinner or studying for a test are drastically different if you do them in a house with 40 other girls. Here are 32 truths you simply can’t deny if you live in the house.

1. You always have 40 other closets to borrow from.

2. You will never appreciate a moment of silence quite like you do when you find it in a sorority house.

3. The best conversations happen after 1 a.m. in the kitchen.

4. Getting ready all together in the bathroom really is as fun as it looks in the movies.

5. You can tell who's home by what music is playing.

6. You learn to hide your candle collection really well.

7. When 20 girls try to blow dry their hair at the same, there will definitely be a power outage.

8. Your house mom is the sweetest and scariest woman you've ever met (and you love her to death).

9. And she will catch you if you try to bring a dog upstairs.

10. Your mood for the week is determined by the menu.

11. Getting to know the house boys might lead to some awesome friendships.

12. The printer will always have ink, but you will never have paper.

13. No moment of privacy lasts more than 5 minutes.

14. You get annoyed when someone takes your unofficial parking spot.

15. Going on a date always starts with a send-off from all your sisters.

16. Your class schedule is determined by when meals are served.

17. You know who's coming up the stairs before you even hear their voice.

18. The day the study snacks are restocked is the best day of the week.

19. Tears are shed when the Keurig breaks.

20. There is always glitter. Always. Everywhere.

21. And hair. Every. Where.

22. Naps are taken very seriously.

23. "Can someone let me in."

24. You will always have people to carpool with.

25. Mattress surfing is as fun as it sounds.

26. There is one room that everyone always seems to congregate in.

27. You know all of your roommate's habits like the back of your hand.

28. Sleeping in a twin sized bed isn't as bad as you thought it would be.

29. You still get winded every time you have to walk up your huge staircase.

30. Tanning on the front lawn is the best place to do it.

31. You never have to drive anywhere for chapter meetings.

32. You wouldn't trade the year in the house for the world.

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.
