Greeks Are Better In Food

Go Greek (Not What You Think)

Before you begin thinking about sororities and fraternity groups, I want to remind you this article is not about Greek life but about how Greeks in Greece live healthy style.

We are a few days in 2016 and many of us have chosen to not make resolutions about healthy food and diet because it always end up with temptation of fast food. No, go back and make these resolutions. It's not too late to start with healthy life style and a new diet that is good for your body and stomach. Back in high school, I learned that college food can be bad for your health if you don't watch what you eat and yes I'm talking about you. I know you can't resist avoiding the delicious smell of pizza nor the tasty fries. For that reason, I have reached to the result that Mediterranean is the only good food for your health:

1. Always start with a salad

Starting with something light won't hurt your stomach. Greek salad has everything: feta cheese, olives, tomato, cucumber, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt


2. Cheese, Yogurt, and Hummus

This is the typical snack for Greeks during brunch, and dinner.It can be served with bread (preferred by Greeks) or chips (preferred by Americans. They have great taste and can be a fulfilling snack


3. Olives

Whether it was green, black, or maroon. Nothing taste better than a Mediterranean sour and salty olives. Mediterranean countries have many olive trees because it's a blessing dating back to Palms day when Jesus entered Jerusalem riding the donkey


4. Desserts

What a great way to end your meal with desserts. Mediterranean countries sell churros in small shops in corners of streets. It's a way to sweeten your day.


Live the Greek way not only in outfit and organization but also in their healthy life style.

Go healthy! Go Greek!

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.
