You Know Better, But They're Just So Irresistible

You Know Better, But They're Just So Irresistible

What’s new? You have a crush on yet another frat bro and you think to yourself, this one could work because the last 10 you had your eye on went so well.

Mr. Right changes every other week. Why is this? Because, ladies, we all think that we can change the frat star into boyfriend material. Please stop, for your own good. That task is nearly impossible for a reason. The reason frat boys are attractive is because they are untamable and we all love the challenge.

From my own experience and from being surrounded by fraternity-loving friends, I have developed the five reasons why, no matter how hard you try, you will always be attracted to frat boys. 

1. Confidence. Becoming a member of a fraternity gives them a sense of self, and that is attractive. A boy who knows who he is, or at least acts like he does, is sure to keep you interested.  

2. Style. Frat guys can dress in the most outrageous mixture of patterns and styles and somehow pull it off. From the Sperrys to the Chubbies and the button downs -- we love it all. I hate to admit that even I am guilty. Nothing makes you happier than to see a cute boy wearing your letters on a cute tank from the most recent house shirt order.  

3. Brotherhood. The way that they take care of their brothers melts your heart. “Isn’t it adorable what a good friend he is?”said every girl, ever. They all love each other and we love when they show their soft side toward their buddies. 

4. They know how to have a good time. If they got a bid to your favorite fraternity, then they were accepted by your favorite group of guys on campus. They have your instant approval.

5. Parties and formals. It is way more fun to hang out with fraternity boys because there is never a dull moment. Every weekend, they provide you with a fun event and a guaranteed good time. If you were to date a GDI, there are guaranteed to be a few boring weekends here and there, which is terrifying -- considering college only lasts four years. Staying in is great, but we have the rest of our non-college lives for that.  

We know what we are getting ourselves into by crushing on frat guys. However, I don’t think any of us is going to turn our backs on frat stars anytime soon. So embrace your obsession and enjoy the next few years surrounded by extremely attractive, confident, stylish and fun boys who may or may not break your heart. There is another time, ladies, for trying to find a serious boyfriend. For now, don’t try to change the perfection that is a frat star.

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.
