Rush Week As Told By Friends

Rush week is slowly approaching, and your house is nervously preparing for the incoming member class. It is imperative you get great girls this year, and your recruitment chair has been frantically planning for the past few weeks now for just that. It's a chapter-wide effort to try to recruit the best all-around girls on campus, and you're ready for the challenge. With your cute new rush dresses from Tobi and feet-breaking but fabulous tan (not brown) wedges, you strut into your house ready to meet some babies. It's now up to you to pick out the finest rush week has to offer. Besides, no one wants a weird new little in the fam.

When the first group of girls walk in the house to start round one.

When you have to make the usual "What's your major?" and "Did you come summer B?" small talk because you might as well be talking to a brick wall.

But then you meet a PNM you really like.

When you see girls you loved on the list again for round two.

Three hours later and you're starving but have two more groups to go before lunch.

When you get paired to talk to a PNM and can't seem to find anything in common.

But you look across the room and your friend is having a conversation about HUM2305 – what is the Good Life?

When you realize a girl you really liked dropped your house.

But then a girl you liked more is on the list.

Two words: dessert round.

When you're delusional at the end of the day but realize you still have three hours of small talk left.

When it's pref round and you get to talk to your rush crush.

The morning of bid day.

When your new babies run off the bus.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
