The Seven Benefits of Being a Houseboy

The Seven Benefits of Being a Houseboy

Working in a sorority house is, as expected, the best job you can have while making your way through college.


1. The Food 

The food cooked up within a sorority house is a way better option than anything a campus meal plan has to offer. It’s also a nice change up from any of the fast food places that your constantly eating at due to your college diet and schedule. Not to mention, it’s free.

2. The Money 

Every college student needs a little extra spending cash. Whether it’s to help out with the bills or for the bars, $8 an hour is nothing to laugh at when you’re broke. They say money doesn’t buy happiness, but I’m pretty happy when there’s a 24-pack of cold beer sitting in front of me.

3. The Hours 

Essentially, you set your own schedule. You choose what days you want to work and have the ability to schedule your work hours around your classes, which is extremely convenient.

4. Easy Work 

As previously mentioned you're getting free food and money… to clean dishes. The job doesn’t ask much for what it offers. If you can help set up a dinner table, sweep, mop and wash dishes than you have the skills to be a houseboy.

5. The Location 

No need to drive to work because your job is on campus. The sorority houses are all pretty much right in the heart of campus, right next to Willy T. Class and work are only a short walk away from each other.

6. The Co-workers 

You get to work with the guys you drink beer with on a weekly basis. Yes, instead of working with a bunch of guys you don’t know or have nothing in common with, you get to work with your Fraternity Brothers. This makes the work seem less tedious and even at times, fun.

7. The Girls 

The best part.

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.
