The Secret Life of a Sorority Junior

Junior year is a sorority, and you're feeling washed up. It's almost inevitable at this point, and no matter how hard you try the feeling won't pass. All of a sudden all of these things are true.

1. Frat boys want all your new members

It's like you could be wearing that brand new bodysuit, but you even know it looks better on new member Rachel.

2. The songs that used to make you want to dance aren't relevant anymore.

What is this new rap? What happened to "Hotline Bling"? How do you dance to this?

3. You'd rather have a conversation with the older brothers, than try to play a game of pong anymore.

Seriously, where did my skills go? Ah whatever, I give up.

4. Speaking of which, you don't even know the newer pledge classes anymore?

Wait, you're a sophomore?

5. Everyone is dating littles, and you're trying to pretend like you're not going to be grandma this year.

Why doesn't anyone want to sister date me?

6. Hangovers start to be real.

I wasn't ready for this.

7. Hookup culture just stopped being appealing over night.

I don't know what happened, but the idea of that boy just isn't for me anymore.

8. The seniors are having the time of their lives, but you're not quite 21 yet.

Just two more months...

9. You have to plan ahead for themes because your wardrobe just doesn't support them like it used to.

Ugh why did I ever get rid of my overalls?

10. Chasers stop being an option.

Little, can you stop at the vending machine before you come over? I need a coke.

11. Your professors keep talking about your "future".

What's that?

12. Staying in sounds terrible, but parties just aren't the same.

When did all the fun get sucked out of me?

& while all of this is low key true, you would never admit it. So stop cleaning your combat boots every weekend, put on a cute shirt & some jeans, because we going out tonight.

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.
