The 3 Best Things About Being in a Sorority

I always knew that when I went to a big college I would have to find my niche-my family at school. I was lucky enough to find one that will stick with me for the rest of my life- my sorority family. So many people write about how they are not your typical sorority girl. Guess what? There is no typical sorority girl. Every sorority girl is different that's what makes our panhellenic community so incredible. As spring recruitment starts this coming weekend at the University of Maryland I wanted to tell you why joining a sorority can be one of the best decisions of your life.

1. You get to meet some pretty amazing humans

My sorority sisters are some of my best friends. The women of my panhellenic community are kind and amazing women who do great things on campus and for charities. I've made friends that will last me a lifetime. It is not for 4 years it's for life. They will be my sisters for life. I have sisters all over the world some I haven't even met who will only show me kindness and treat me as a friend should we ever meet.

2. You get to have a lot of fun

You get to have fun sisterhood events, formals and bid-days. You have people to study with who will have you falling on the floor laughing at 3 in the morning. You will have sisters who will always have your back and be willing to randomly get food at 10 at night.

3. You have people who will always have your back

Speaking as someone who is chronically injured I can personally attest to this. My sisters have had my back through several injuries, crutches, illnesses and crushing depression. My sisters have been some of my biggest cheerleaders and have always been there when I need them. I can never say how thankful for them.

There are so many reasons why I am thankful for my amazing sisters and these are just a few. So if you have even an inkling to go through recruitment, do it! I promise you that all of my panhellenic sisters are so excited to me you. I hope you find your home away from home just like I did. Good luck and remember its not for 4 years it is FOR LIFE.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
