5 Reasons Living In A Sorority House Is The Best Decision You Could Make In College
Bright Cove

Your freshman year of college, living in the dorms on campus may seem like the best thing ever for a while. You can hang out with your friends whenever you want, the freedom is limitless, and even the dining hall food is fine for a while. However, by the time May rolls around, your sophomore year can't come soon enough. While renting apartments and houses is an extremely viable option, choosing to live in your sorority's on-campus house may just be the best decision you make. Between food cooked by a chef to sleepovers with your best friends every night, here's why living in a sorority house is an amazing experience that you shouldn't pass up.

Sharing clothes is the best thing ever

Huffington Post

When you are living in a sorority house, one of the best things ever is being able to share closets with everyone. Need the perfect shirt to match that skirt or a certain pair of shoes? Someone probably has it.

The food is leagues above the dining halls

Your freshman year, you get used to dealing with the dining halls on campus if you live in a dorm. When you're living in your sorority house, not only do you have the snacks and fridge, but the lunches and dinners made by a chef.

Close to your classes and in the heart of campus

Many sorority houses are located close to many of your classes, so being late is impossible, and your walk is cake.

No plans? No problem

If its a Friday night and you have no plans, someone is always up for a movie night (or a "Bachelor" watch party).

Study buddies by the dozen

Someone is always down to go to the library and get stuff DONE, head to a coffee shop, or just do work in the house! Living in your sorority house gives you even more motivation to be scholarly.

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.

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.
