What It's Really Like To Live In A Sorority House

There are no pillow fights.

What It's Really Like To Live In A Sorority House
www.wideopencountry.com

Living in a sorority house comes with lots of stigmas attached to it. People just kind of assume things that happen there (think pillow fights or something along those lines). So, here's what it's really like to in a mansion with about 50 of your closest friends.

1. We're not perky all the time.

Despite what Legally Blonde might have suggested, we're not always happy.


2. Also, we don't always dress up.

Apparently, people assume that we always look put-together just because we're in a sorority. Honestly, anyone who lives in their sorority house would find this comical. We're in Nike shorts and t-shirts about 99.9 percent of the time, and we probably won't change out of them until about five minutes before we have to go somewhere important.


3. It's really not dramatic at all.

People think we're all supposed to be catty towards one another. Really, we all get along. Actually, we're all friends. Living in the house has made us all get really close. We really do love each other.


4. Trust me, we're very close.

We really, really know a lot about each other.....


5. You get to know everyone's class schedule.

You know who's going to be around during lunchtime; you know who has that dreaded late class. You know that it's not worth looking for someone between the hours of 2-4, because that's when they're in class. Oh also.... yes, we go to class.


6. You get to know everyone's weird habits.

When you all live together, you learn everyone's little quirks. You know who is obsessed with particular foods, who hates other particular foods, and who takes abnormally long showers.


7. You know everyone's social lives.

Although we all participated in the same social events together, we spend the entire next day recounting them.


8. We all eat together.

Whether we're eating in the house or not, we're all pretty much always down to eat together. Eating together always turns into an incredibly long ordeal, because do any of us ever stop talking? Probably not.

9. My closet is your closet.

Don't have a necklace that looks great with your new shirt? Somebody does, and they're happy to share. This truly is the biggest blessing of all.


10. Everyone picks out their outfits together.

Everyone's outfit has to be approved by one another. If it doesn't make the cut, we're doing it out of love. We all want each other to look incredible, okay?


11. Honestly, it's not always clean....

Well, everyone kind of expects our rooms to be pristine, cute, and "srat," all of the time. News flash: we can all be pretty messy.


12. We give each other lots of pep talks.

There's always someone around to cheer you up when you're upset over a failed test or a stupid boy. We're all not really sure what we're doing, but at least we're doing it together right?

13. Quite frankly, we don't know what we're gonna do without each other next year.

We'll cherish these memories forever. When else will you ever get to live in a mansion with all of your friends again?

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
