Key Dates For The Fall Semester At Ole Miss

Is it Fall yet? Fall is said to be one of the best times to be here. With the Grove packed each Saturday, the leaf's changing colors, the smell of everything pumpkin and the air turning cooler. Here are a few key dates you'll wanna know for this coming fall semester at Ole Miss.

1. Move-In Week: August 13-18

Depending on what dorm/floor you live on will have different dates. Check out the housing website for the full list of details. Just prepare for the craziness yet exciting day. Cause after all this will be your home for the next nine months. Oh and you'll end up questioning how you managed to get everything in your tiny dorm. http://studenthousing.olemiss.edu/move-in/

2. Welcome Week: August 22-26

You have two types of freshmen: one that goes to the majority of the welcome week events and the other that avoids it at all cost. Yeah, getting in a ball pit with strangers might be weird but hey its welcome week! This is fun for anyone no matter what grade.

3. First football game of the season: September 10

Get pumped Rebs because football is back! We might just be playing Wofford but who cares it's finally football season. So bring out your Grove best attire and get ready for Friday night tent races and Saturday's spent in Vaught again.

4. Ole Miss vs Alabama football game: September 17

The whole week leading up to this game is called "Bama hate week" by some, and no doubt the game everyone is looking forward to this season (besides the Egg Bowl). After beating the Tide back-to-back the last two years meeting's who is ready to pack Vaught and make this the third year in a row?

5. Panhellenic Sorority Recruitment: September 9-16

It's rush week! Recruitment week is an exciting week full of songs, chants, running in heels to your next house and finding your home. Even if you aren't going through recruitment go to The Grove on bid day. It's fun to see everyone get their bids, the Gamma Chi revel and running to the houses. (P.S. your name tag will become your best friend, Don't lose it)

6. THANKSGIVING BREAK: November 21-25

It's about time we get a break (and thank gosh it's a week). You'll end up spending half of it eating and the other half sleeping. It's amazing.

7. FINALS: December 5-9

The best time of the year is near, (thxs Christmas) and also the worst time of the year is upon us (thxs finals). Study and power through; remember a 6-week winter break is waiting at the end of finals, and your GPA does not define you. Also don't forget the coffee!

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.
