You're Right, Sorority Life is Terrible

It's absolutely terrible having a large group of girls who care about your wellbeing!

You're Right, Sorority Life is Terrible
Karlee Wright

What everyone says is SOOOOOO correct. Sorority life is just downright awful.

It's absolutely terrible having a large group of girls who care about your wellbeing. They're always texting you to make sure you're doing okay or asking you to have lunch if you've had a bad day. Sisters are just constantly texting asking to hang out and see you.

It's horrid having a strong connection with your pledge class. You connect so well with so many girls, you're just bombarded with multiple friendships. It's a huge burden really. Multiple friends are just crazy to keep up, especially when they're ones who care about you.

Don't even get me started on philanthropy. Helping raise money to support a worthy cause is exhausting. My sorority—Gamma Phi Beta—dedicates our philanthropic efforts to Girls On the Run. It's just cruel that we have to spend our time supporting little girls who look up to us, and we get to become strong influences in their lives. Having little girls who tell us they appreciate us is just absurd. Who would want to spend their time with such sweet, carefree, innocent little souls?

The absolute worst part is having friends for life. You will have to invite sisters to your wedding, to help with your baby shower, to be there through every hard time. It's going to be a constant bother having such a strong support system who will love you no matter what. SUCH a burden, ugh.

Okay, so obviously this is all a sarcastic piece. I absolutely adore my sisters more than anything. I hate that sorority life has such a negative connotation. It's the best thing to ever happen to me. This piece just somewhat explains the wonderful aspects of it. I love sorority life and I will support it until the day I die.

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.
