5 reasons bid day is the best day ever

After a week that is seemingly endless, bid day finally comes. You are brought together will all of your future best friends and so many surprises await you. You basically step off of the Milledge bus onto the red carpet.

1. The week is FINALLY over

Giphy

In hindsight, this is a great experience but in the moment it is the most exhausting week ever. You just spent several days waking up way too early and going to talk to girls all day long. You have finally made it to the end and you get to find out your soon to be home.

2. Gifts, gifts, and more gifts

Giphy

Who doesn't love being showered with gifts and being appreciated? And it just keeps on coming! Once you get to your house you will get a total bid day makeover and get to have fun with your new sisters.

3. Meeting new people

Giphy

This is such a great experience because sometimes it is hard to meet new people. Everyone is just as anxious as you to have friends, so everyone is more open to creating new friend groups. This is the perfect time to just go into your new home with an open mind and meet some great new girls.

4. It's just a huge celebration

Giphy

Everyone is so excited for you to be there and it is just a great feeling to feel like you are finally coming home somewhere at such a big school. This is a great time because there will be music, food, dancing, glitter... what more could a girl ask for?

5. You finally found your home

Sorority recruitment might not be the best experience for every girl, but it is such a relief when you finally make it to the house you were meant to be at. There are going to be so many new people you meet who are going to love and support you through your first year at college. It might take some time to find your closest friends, but once you do it will make being at such a large school away from your family, feel a lot smaller and easier to manage.

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.
