The Five Frattiest Movies of All Time

"Animal House" (1978)
This is a cult classic of a film featuring members of the riotous Delta Tau Chi fighting to keep their fraternity from being kick off campus. The film is hilarious and still referenced all the time today. Most parents (including mine) think of this film when they imagine fraternities, which probably makes them a little hesitant in letting their kids join one.

"Neighbors" (2014)
Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne play a couple with a newborn child, who are shocked to learn that a fraternity has moved next to them. The couple is cool with the fraternity at first, until they are forced to call the cops because of a loud party. This sparks an all-out war between the two neighbors. As you would expect with any Seth Rogen movie, "Neighbors" is filled with adult humor and wild shenanigans.

"Old School" (2003)
Another classic movie involving fraternities is "Old School." In this movie, three best friends try to relive their college days by starting a fraternity of their own on a college campus. The whole premise is not only original, but also hilarious and something I will probably want to do when I’m older and a part of the “real” world. This is also one of the most quotable movies of all time.

"22 Jump Street" (2014)
The sequel to "21 Jump Street" has Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill going undercover once again, this time as college students. This movie doesn’t really revolve around the fraternity life as much as the other films I listed do, but the two of them do pledge a fraternity. This is all while they are trying to locate the supplier of a new drug called “WHYPHY,” which killed a student.

"Revenge of the Nerds" (1984)
After being tormented by the members of the Alpha Beta fraternity, the nerds plot revenge by forming their own fraternity to take them down. This renowned comedy is one of my personal favorites, and I think the whole concept is hysterical. I love all of the shenanigans they pull.

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.

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.
