Sorority Rush, Told By The One And Only Rachel Green

@friendsthememories

Even though the TV show "Friends" went off the air in 2004, it seems like the characters are just as relatable then as they are now almost 14 years later. Everyone knows someone who resembles a Joey, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Ross, and Phoebe. This past week, I partook in sorority recruitment at my university and I constantly found myself using Rachel Green gifs to express my emotions to my friends and now I am here to share that with you all!

1. Getting there

Driving to campus the nerves have not totally set in yet and you're feeling good. Not the most excited because you've been hearing rush horror stories for the past few months, but you're excited to see where this week takes you.

2. Orientation

It's fine. We're fine. I'm fine. It just got real. After sitting through an hour or so long presentation about recruitment this whole thing just turned very very real. Am I pacing around my room...yes, but what else am I supposed to do?

3. Beginning of day one

You thought you were nervous yesterday? Funny. Standing outside the first door to the first sorority you debate just dropping dead because the nerves are making you feel like you are truly going insane.

4. End of day one

You remember that button from staples that said "that was easy" well that is currently your mood. Why were you even freaking out to begin with? As you're sitting in your room you think about all the great and meaningful conversations you had yesterday with full confidence. You are definitely getting asked back to all of the sororities.

5. Start of day two

You open your schedule for today and you definitely did NOT get asked back to all the sororities. Those two you didn't even like dropped you and it hurts, not going to lie. But I mean you're fine. I SAID YOU'RE FINE SO STOP ASKING!

6. Start of day three

You get your list and your heart stops. One of your favorites dropped you. But you still have your favorite one left. Maybe you've never felt straight up rejection like this before it's going to be okay. However, if one more person tells you to trust the process you are literally about to start throwing punches!

7. Post day three

Things are starting to get weird. You and your friends have barely slept and the stress is real. Did you actually just buy a rubber chicken? Wait shampoo comes before conditioner in the shower? Did you just slip on literal air? It's getting weird. Very very weird.

8. Pref

Did you seriously get asked back to your favorite sorority? Why is today the greatest day ever. After killing the conversation with one of the sweetest girls in the entire world, sleeping tonight should be easy. You are a super star. You just finished rush. Do I get a medal?

9. Opening the envelope

DID YOU SERIOUSLY GET A BID FROM YOUR FAVORITE SORORITY? IT'S FINE. YOU AREN'T FREAKING OUT. THIS ISN'T THE ABSOLUTE BEST DAY EVER! YOU DID IT. YOU REALLY REALLY DID IT.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
