Recruitment Week: Told By The Cast of 'Friends'
www.hercampus.com

Recruitment is definitely one of the most rewarding, yet longest week of your life. You will learn so many things about yourself you never knew and in the end you will eventually find your new home and a whole group of new best friends/sisters for life. It will be a week filled with ups and downs but it will be one of the best weeks of your life yet. It is an experience you will never forget and it will change your life for the better.

1. When your recruitment group leader tells you there is no talking to boys for an entire week.


2. When you realize you have to wake up at 7 A.M., at the latest, every single morning.


3. Waking up the first day of recruitment week.


4. When you show up to your first house on the first day and they start singing at you as soon as they open the door.


5. Your response when the recruiter asks you to tell her a little about yourself.


6. Waiting to get your schedule in the morning to see what houses you’re getting to be visiting that day.

7. When you finally pick out the perfect outfit for a specific day of recruitment.

8. Coming to terms with the fact that this will undoubtedly be one of the longest, and most exhausting weeks of your life.


9. Running late when you’re supposed to be all ready... and you’re not even dressed yet.


10. When you have a break in between parties.


11. When someone asks how you’re doing through this process and you cannot show any weakness.


12. Running in heels, trying to make it to the different chapters on time with only ten minutes in between parties.


13. When you have become so delirious throughout the week that all you can think about is food.

14. When you try to explain to people why you are in such a bad mood and so tired at the end of the day.


15. Trying to explain to someone the huge decisions you have to make at the end of the week.


16. Opening up your bid on the final day.


17. When you finally run home to your rush crush.


18. Entering your new home on bid day and picturing what you have to look forward to with your best friends/sisters for the next four years and the rest of your life.


Good Luck!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
