My Honest Experience Living In A Sorority House
Personal Image

I decided to apply to live in my sorority house for my sophomore year and didn't think I would get in it, but one day I got an email and they said I got in. I thought I wasn't going to get in because they based it on GPA and I didn't have the best grades that semester. When I first stepped into my sorority house sophomore year in august. I was scared because I didn't know my roommate and didn't know that many people living in the house. I was excited to live with a bunch of girls but was nervous that I wouldn't get along with my roommate or any of the girls living there. I was excited of how convenient it would be to have all my meals in the same room and not have to walk or go anywhere. It was also a cheaper option.

I remember moving everything into my room. It was much bigger than my dorm freshman year so I was excited about that. I wanted my room but I knew that wouldn't happen living in a sorority house. I was nervous about getting sick of my roommate quickly but she soon became my best friend. There are about 40 girls living in the house and we were right on the main floor right by the bathrooms. We were the first room when you walk into the house and you can hear everyone walking by your room which wasn't fun. But It was very convenient being right next to the bathroom. There are two bathrooms in the house, one is located on the main level and the second one is on the upper level. There were about 5 stalls and 5 sinks. There were also 5 showers. You kept all your shower and bathroom stuff in the cubby's that they had and you also had to wear shower shoes when you showered because it was bascially a community bathroom. You got really sick of people because you can hear them in the bathroom and showering especailly in my room because it was the closest to the bathroom.

We had quiet hours where you had to lower your voice so people can get sleep especailly on weekdays when people are studying for exams or doing homework but people were still loud. I got close with alot of girls living in the house. Alot of people would come in our room though because when everyone would come eat at the sorority they would want to hangout and they would do it in our room which got really annoying because we wanted our own space.It got so annoying and my roommate and I were on the same page and just wanted them to leave but we didn't want to be rude. Overall, I liked living in the sorority house but I would never do it again. It was a good experience and glad I did it. I need my own space and I am excited to get it this year.

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.
