Hey, Soul (Sorority) Sisters

Going into college, I would have never thought I would join Greek life. After my first semester I decided I would go check it out. After "Meet the Greeks" I learned a lot about some of the sisters and saw how close they were.

After going through, I got my bid. I have never been more happy about something. Some people join Greek life to have the letters on their chest and the label as a "sorority girl" or "fraternity guy." There is a lot more to it than that. From starting, I already have become more of an outgoing person and go out of my way to get more involved around campus and in the sorority.

I finished my first semester as an official sister, and I couldn't have been more happy. Some of the most amazing memories already were getting my amazing big, formal, and bounce. Getting my big was one of the most amazing feelings i have ever encountered in my life. I wouldn't have wanted anybody else as my big. She is the greatest person I've met, and we already have so many amazing memories together and so many things in common. One thing I can tell someone who is looking into Greek life is: don't look for a big that looks like they have the money, go for someone that is going to help you become a better woman in the world, one that will be there for you and will keep everything you guys have talked about between you guys, then you will find yourself the perfect big like I did. I love my big and my family line so so much.

Long story short, I am so happy I joined Greek life. It has helped me so much and made me such a better person already. I have so many amazing memories and new friends because of it. Much love to my sisters in my sorority; I would be very lost if it wasn't for all of you guys. #AnchorsUp

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
