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.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
