10 Reasons Why Going Greek Changed My Life
Lauren Hoffman

After having a long weekend with my sisters, I could not be more blessed that I got to spend it with them. Going Greek changed my life in the most indescribable ways, but I am going to try to put them into words -- and if you're Greek, you'll know exactly where I am coming from.


1. The tears your sisters shed when reading their testimonials become your own tears.


2. The laughs you share because your sister yelled something so absurdly hilarious that no one can control their laughter.

Thank you for this, I needed a good laugh.


3. They are the people who taught you public speaking in front of a hundred plus people is actually survivable because who else will be more comforting when you pronounce something wrong more than your sisters.


4. The unconditional love when you're having a bad day.

It is guaranteed -- more than one person will be there to be your crying shoulder.


5. Everyone else may have judged you for wardrobe failures, boy mistakes and lack of commonsense but your sisters have not.


6. The immense support you'll have when your sister runs her first half marathon, participates in half around the world study abroad program, or her big girl job interview.


7. College adults? We will try the adult thing tomorrow.

Tackling whiling simultaneously laughing and rolling on the ground? Covered. Singing Hilary Duff or Avril Levine at the top of your lungs? Check (but still tone death). Disney movies until 2 a.m.? Done.


8. Roommates, midnight library study dates, best friends, common love in what life has to offer: queso, and carpool buddies.

Thank you to you all, you all have made my life a little easier.


9. Realizing how much potential you have to offer because the girls you are surrounded with have so much belief in you and want to see you succeed.

Thank you to them, I am capable of so much more.


10. Surrounding myself with women who have extensive morals, goals, and integrity.

Being around them has helped me become the woman I strive to be. I could not be more grateful to have them as my role models and be my home away from home.

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:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

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.
