As the second semester of my freshman year comes to a close, spring formal pops up out of nowhere. Everyone in greek life can confirm that formal is one last big hoorah until we all return back to school in the fall. Every girl in a sorority can also confirm that formal is stressful as shit.

The Date Struggle

I'm sure boys don't really care about formal that much, they just ask the first person that pops into their head. Imagine if it was that easy, ha. Formal really just sneaks up on us out of nowhere. We're all just messing around until we have to figure out who the hell we are going to take to this. It really shouldn't be a big deal, but deep down inside of every girl, it is a slightly big deal. All of a sudden, you forget every boy you have ever talked to and can't seem to figure out who to take. Maybe that kid in my COM class? Nah. Maybe that guy who likes every single Instagram I've ever posted would want to go? Nah. This is impossible.

The Dress Struggle

Your group chats are probably popping with stressful questions on who to take and what dress/romper they should buy. Then there's the stress of buying a dress and god forbid it does not come in on time-or even worse: it might not fit. Might as well go naked and dateless to formal!


Going dateless really isn't bad at all. You probably decided with some other girls that you'll all look super hot and go solo. I applaud you people. You are honestly the best type of people around and I want to be more like you. Unfortunately, me and my friends are not like that and we all just want some arm-candy for a solid picture. It's the sad truth.

Formal is coming up too soon, but don't stress. We all usually end up figuring it out at least five hours before we have to leave. What a time to be alive.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

Ancient Roman Kings: 7 Leaders of Early Rome

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe. The period when kings ruled Rome could estimate at 245 years.
