To my readers,
I apologize. I have not written anything in almost 2 weeks. It has been a hectic time. I just graduated college (congratulations to me) and have been finalizing my job situation. I’ve also been in between apartments, without internet, half my stuff in boxes, and trying to find an apartment. Whoa is me. Anyway, I just wanted to say that it might be a bit before I’m back to writing regularly, but I will try to keep you posted.

Yesterday was a sad day in Greek life. A group of guys spanning 6 different fraternities were busted for selling weed, coke, and ecstasy among other drugs. You can read the full article here. While all men in Greek life know that there will alway be certain members doing drugs, it shouldn’t be something that is a part of the house. What you do on your own time is nobody’s business, but when you bring drugs and guns and other things into your house, it becomes a whole new issue. By bringing large amounts of drugs and dealing right out of their houses, these men have done a great disservice to the Greek life of their university, the reputation of their school, and the Greek life all over the United States. It is stupidity like this that causes the negative images that come along with joining a fraternity. These guys deserve to be expelled and many of them deserve jail. If you have read my previous article on Greek life you know that for the most part it is a great experience with many benefits for those that choose to join.
1. Start Early
While I am probably guiltier of this than most, procrastinating on finals is one of the most stressful things you can possibly do. I have that terrible habit of waiting until the night before to begin studying for any test. This means I pull all nighters, which in a normal week isn’t a big deal. But during finals, this can be a terrible strategy. If you are taking a full course load or more, and wait until the last second to start studying, then you could be in for a week of all nighters. While this may work for tests 1 and 2, it will drastically reduce your abilities for tests 3 through 5 (or 6). Try to start doing basic review a good week before the test, and study hard for the 2 days prior to the exam.
