SO. MANY. EMOTIONS.

Recruitment As Told By New Girl

As a second semester freshman here at Wake Forest, I am going through recruitment as I write this very article. Now, some of my friends who had already gone through it tried to warn me about rush, but they either did not do a good enough job or I did not listen. Well...probably the latter. But, we are going with the first for the sake of my confidence. When I realized I still had an article to write, I knew it was going to have to be on rush since that's the only thing on my mind. So... Here is what rush is like for PNMs as told by New Girl.

The first day at your first party when they open the doors to a bunch of girls looking at you while clapping and singing...and you weren't expecting it...

What you actually want to do after they open the door to the first party...

When you don't know what you are supposed to do with your face when you walk into each party...

When you are so hungry but trying to make it through the party...

When you are talking to your friends at the end of the day and they tell you what stupid thing they said because they were so nervous....

When you get your schedule back each day and are super confused because you were dropped from the sorority you thought you bonded with...

When you are stressed out every night thinking about the next day and decide the only way to cope with the stress is to eat...

What you want to do at the end of each day except you can't because rush rules...

Coming out of some parties like...

Coming out of other parties like...

Now, I would love to tell you what my emotions are about pref night and bid day, but alas... Wake Forest had to postpone rush because Mother Nature chose this week to bring winter to Winston-Salem...

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.
