Editor's note

www.theodysseyonline.com

GOODBYE When I was a freshman, I always hated hearing the upperclassmen tell me to enjoy it while you can, it doesn’t last forever. Even then I hated thinking about leaving this amazing place.

Now as I come down to the last few weeks of my undergraduate career, I realize that they were right.

I have put off writing this article until about an hour before we go to print because it was one of my last things that I will ever do at the U of A. The day that this issue is published will be the last time that I ever wake up and go to class, which is a little unreal. It also is an extremely bittersweet feeling to turn in this article and it has been a struggle to stay composed as I write this from the back of my class.

I think being at the Odyssey since its inception here over 3 years ago, makes it even harder to say goodbye. This has been something that has been a big part of my life and of me finding my creative side. Seeing this publication grow from eight to over thirty writers, photographers

and social media gurus has been incredible. I hate to leave it but I know I have left it in the capable hands of my good friend, Shannon Jones.

Leaving the U of A, Fayetteville and Greek life in general will be incredibly hard as well. These three things have shaped my life over the past four years and without the influences from each, I really don’t know what kind of person I would be.

I really have no idea what was going through my head when I decided to come to the U of A and go Greek. None of my friends were coming here and I never really thought I would like Greek life. Now looking back I think both of those were the best decisions I have ever made.

During rush they always drill into your head that you made two great decisions today: attending the University of Arkansas and also going Greek. I think that most people remember the many speeches that the presidents made that were peppered with this phrase. It has stuck with me over the past four years and I will continue to bounce around my head when I am finally graduated When I become an alumnus in a few days it will be very sad to leave my home for the past four years and tell my friends goodbye. Saying goodbye and moving on has always been difficult for me. But I can look back with clear eyes knowing that I had the best four years of my life and wouldn’t change a thing. Also instead of saying it won’t last forever I will leave you with this: “Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.”

WHY I FINALLY RUSHED

By Laura Selak

If you’ve read any of my articles before you know that I am usually not the one to write anything sweet and touching. No, usually I’m in the pages of this paper going off on a rant about something I find annoying or just plain dumb. But today I’m going throw you a curveball and get a little personal because this is my article, and I do what I want!

Entering freshmen year of college was a weird time for me. I came up here knowing about 10 people in total, one of which was my best friend since 6th grade. I was trying a long distance relationship with my high school boyfriend of four years (AWFUL IDEA NEVER EVER EVER BYE) and trying to figure out why I had chosen to come to a place where only eight people out of my graduating class had come. Besides my best friend, all of my other girl friends were going through recruitment. For most of these girls, they had been thinking about recruitment since they were in the womb. Because of that, the latter part of my senior year had been filled with nothing but talk about sororities….

This is when I decided that I didn’t want to rush.

Nope. I had had it with talks of photo collages, outfit planning and legacies. I decided right then and there that anything srat related was the devil, and I would not be apart of it. Girls would look at me as if I was growing another head out the side of my neck when I said I didn’t wanna go through rush.

“Is it a money thing?” “Did you apply late?” “Are you scared you wont get the house you wanted?”

This is the type of general bull that I had to deal with for about four months of my life, and it was not only exhausting but annoying too. So there I was, on my own at the University of Arkansas without letters and proud to be unaffiliated.

Now I don’t want you to think that I tried to burn down any sorority houses or anything ridiculous like that. I lived with two girls (one Pi Phi and one Tri Delt) that both went Greek, and I loved both of them! They helped me through all the emotional breakdowns that come along with being a freshmen as well as all my breakup drama (see I told you its an awful idea). I got involved with all their events that supported them and their philanthropies. I grew very close to these girls as well

as their friends inside of Greek life and then realized something..

I actually wanted to rush…

So sophomore year rolls around. I know that its gonna be stressful, hard and filled with glimpses of adulthood. Best Friend and I were living together again, and she laughed and made fun as I woke up at 5 a.m. every day to get ready for recruitment. Let me also say how hard it is to go through the process as a sophomore. I was one of maybe 10 sophomores that were going through so finding these girls among the hundreds of freshmen was like finding water in the middle of the desert. While they did exist, I was still exiled in the fact that these girls were usually transfers, and I was just a little rebel. Ill give you a glimpse of how rough this week was. I was dropped from five houses after day one. Yeah, that one didn’t feel too good. But I had a glimpse of hope! I had told myself going in that I wouldn’t just join one I wasn’t in love with. And I did in fact find one. It was a long weeks journey full of tears, exhaustion and forced conversations to the beautiful steps of Delta Delta Delta, but it was worth it.

Now while I am the anti sorority girl I can say 100 percent that I am in love with my Greek organization. Also I don’t know how I would have made it through this year without them. My best friend decided to transfer home, and I don’t think I’ve ever felt so lost without her (shut-up it’s totally not embarrassing). While I tried to stay strong on the outside I was crumbling on the inside. My sisters helped me through that time and I am eternally grateful because without them I have no idea what I would have done.

I used to stereotype all of them as the peppy, Lilly Pullitzer clad, MRS degree wielding girls, but now I know how wrong I was. Every single one of those amazing women brings something different to the table, and that’s why this whole Greek thing works! I have had some of the best times with these women and I have gotten the chance to do so much (like writing for this awesome paper!).

I am so thankful for my Tri Delta family and I can only hope that I bring them even a glimmer of happiness that they bring to me on a daily basis. *Dries tears and resumes being a bad***

5 THE RUSH FROM THE DORMS Scene greek life

www.theodysseyonline.com

Apartment living. The life in which you can cook almost anything in a microwave, you’re biggest fear is the never-ending pile of dirty dishes and you’re constantly wishing your apartment would lift the no-pet rule.

to help you fan the smoke out into the hallway.

RACHEL RAWLINGS

When the peanut butter jar you thought would last all month runs out while studying for your big test, they’ll be there to lend you that creamy Jiff – the best study buddy out there.

Rachel is a sophomore studying advertising and public relations.

You may contact her at mrrawlin@uark.edu.

And when you have the bright idea to lure the stray cat inside to be the new house pet, they’ll be there to scare him back outside when he tries to make a scratching post out of your arms.

Pi Beta Phi

But when your roommate decides that it’s not their week to do the dishes, again, you are anything but appreciative.

Everyone is ready to get out of the dorms. Community living was cool for a while, but at the end of the day, we all need a fungus-free shower and non-RA inhibited hallways.

Although the first year of apartment living is filled with weeks of ramen, dish-washing disputes and lack of a pet, you learn a lot.

At the beginning of the semester, you think you’ve chosen the best apartment in town. Any mention of other complexes makes you silently laugh because you know the person living there doesn’t have it as good as you. That is until you run into your first problem. The southern hospitality that the front desk worker always seems to have will disappear before you can say broken shower. It’s okay, though, you can put up with cold showers for a week. Right?

And now you know that before next year you’re going to have to spend some quality time in the kitchen and buy some earplugs to wear for when you put your new skills into action. Because no matter how good you get, that fire alarm will never yield.

Although the workers aren’t the best, you’re roommates are always around to keep your spirits up. When the fire alarm goes off relentlessly, every night, they’ll be there

And buy a fish. You can wait two more years to buy a dog – maybe.

The first year of buying your own toilet paper and enforcing your own rules is going to be tough. But we all get through it and become masters at the apartment life.

You’ll all be master chefs and the proud owner of a Swiffer in no time.

STRESS IN REAL LIFE We have finals KAYLA coming up, jobs to EIFFERT apply for, summer Kappa Delta classes to take Kayla is a sophomore studying advertising and and sometimes it PR. You may contact her at kmeiffer@uark.edu. seems like we’re barely keeping it together. With all of this craziness comes stress.

I know that some of you probably think that you’ve heard about the importance of managing stress a million times, but it is important to recognize and manage the effects of the stress that goes along with the end of a semester. You get stressed out, but everyone does, right?

Stress can sometimes be a positive influence and force us to finally stop procrastinating about that book report we’ve been putting off all semester, but it can also turn out to be a ticking time bomb.

According to WebMD, stress can actually cause physical symptoms in your body if not dealt with properly. Stress can cause headaches, elevated blood pressure and trouble sleeping. If that doesn’t describe my typical physical state for the entire duration of finals week, I don’t know what does.

A lot of college students turn to alcohol or tobacco to reduce stress but, unfortunately, these substances actually keep your body in its stressed out state and only cause more problems. Ongoing stress can lead to anxiety, heart problems or even depression.

If that’s not a reason to deal with your stress properly, I don’t know what is. When you begin to feel overwhelmed or stressed, it is important to address those feelings. Many times, just simply taking a study break to go for a walk or run, or talking out what you are stressed about, can offer some perspective on your situation.

Being reminded that your economics exam will not make or break your entire future can take a big weight off of your shoulders. Also,

by maintaining a sleep schedule and healthy eating habits, your body will be able to function at its best and will be less likely to succumb to the effects of your stress.

I know the last thing you are thinking about during finals week is going for a walk and eating a salad, but your body and mind will thank you for it. In the grand scheme of things, that is what matters most.

I am also looking forward to exploring the city of Milwaukee at my Summerfest experience. Luckily, one of my best friends resides there and will be able to show me around.

A LOOK BACK

The thought is both exhilarating and terrifying.

On one hand, I will be moving on to hopefully bigger and better things, specifically working toward my dream career in New York City.

KATIE KORTEBEIN Pi Beta Phi

Katie is a junior studying creative writing. You may contact her at But on the other, I will kkortebe@uark.edu be leaving the place I have called home the last four years and the people who have become my second family. What makes it so much harder is that all these friends will be spread out and it will not be as simple as just coming back and visiting one city. I’ve always heard you make your closest friends in college and, in this case, that was definitely true. The friends I have made here are people I have been drawn to because they connect with the person I have become in college.

And college definitely changed me. I used to be an extremely shy person who would second-guess everything I wanted to say. Now, if I tell any of my friends or coworkers that I’m shy, they just laugh at me. Being in Pi Phi and just being in college, in general, has really made me come out of my shell. Thank god for that, because interviews would have been terrible.College has been the best thing that has happened to me. Yes, there have been some bad times, but overall, I could not have asked for a better experience.

Underclassmen, I know you think four years is a long time, but remember how quickly high school went? College goes even faster. Freshmen, enjoy being the babies these last couple weeks of school because after this first year, the time flies by. Sophomores, live in the house. It is so worth it. For girls, it’s like a 24/7 sleepover with all your best friends for a year.

www.theodysseyonline.com

Guys, you get to actually show off a room when you bring all your friends to your house. It’s something that allows you to bond even more with the people in your chapter. Juniors, just get ready.

The next two years are going to go by so quickly you won’t believe it. My friends and I still talk about how we feel like sophomores and we’ve all legally been on Dickson for at least a year. My roommate has a University of Arkansas bucket list of 100 things to do before you graduate, and we’ve maybe done 10. My suggestion is to make your own bucket list and actually follow through.

Don’t say you’ll do something and then put it off because you’re too tired. Do it. I hate the saying, “You’ll sleep when you’re dead,” but in this case, you’ll sleep after graduation, do everything you can while still a student.

Go to Devil’s Den; try all the food trucks; go float a river (maybe not the Buffalo anymore…) and visit Eureka Springs. Go to a random show at George’s (I found one of my favorite bands that way); go to every free concert the U of A puts on; actually go to the speakers on campus; I didn’t, and I could have seen the Dalai Lama…

Pretty much just take part in everything offered to you.I didn’t study abroad and, from what I’ve heard from my friends, I really made a bad decision on that one. Say “yes” to every opportunity.

College is the only time you will have this much at your disposal, especially for free, and you can’t go wrong taking advantage of it.

This is the Greek paper for our campus, so I also want to say, everyone should attempt to be some type of officer in their chapter or on campus. I was co-Social Chair and I had a blast planning all the functions and meeting people from different houses. I still see people on Dickson I met while planning functions and it’s always a unique type of greeting. Being an officer gives you the chance to meet more people not only from your own house, but other fraternities and sororities.

I’m not kidding when I say literally take every possible opportunity you can. I cannot believe how fast the last four years have gone and although, I’ve loved every minute and am dreading leaving it, there is more I could have done.

“No Ragrets,” people, no regrets.

THINGS YOU CAN ONLY GET AWAY WITH IN COLLEGE

People always say how amazing college is and how it is the best time of your life. Man, are they right. Here is just a small list of things that you do in college that will probably never happen again once you graduate:

13

most nights. Enjoy the energy that comes with youth.

LEIGHA VAN SICKLE Kappa Delta

Leigha is a freshman studying journalism, advertising & PR. You may contact her at Ljvansic@uark.edu.

Daily naps: Best part of the week is the post-Chicken Finger Friday naps. You have two hours to kill? Why not take a nap? Only in college will you find those couple hours of free time so take advantage of them with the much beloved sleep.

Using Quizlet to achieve your goals: All you want to do this semester is to pass that dumb science class that you have to take but you do not understand anything about astronomy. Lucky for you 30 other people before you made a Quizlet for the exact homework questions you have to finish in the next 20 minutes. Only in college will the answers be right in front of you.

Going out on any weekday: T-shirt Tuesday and Thirsty Thursday are just part of the week. Sleep is optional as well as class and there is always something to do any night of the week.

Wearing the same pair of leggings everyday: Laundry is just a pain and wearing pants that are elastic and form to your legs is much more comfortable than jeans.

Plus you can go straight from class to the gym without having to bring something to change into.

Wearing a Greek shirt anywhere and everywhere: You have accumulated many shirts from your own Greek affiliation as well your friends and random hookups. They are comfy, big, colorful, and they have a handy pocket in the front. You have enough to last you a month without doing laundry so it becomes your only source of clothing.

Passing out on the nearest couch: Usually when you go out, you’re with your friends and you know a lot of the people there. So you had a little too much to drink and you see a comfy couch nearby. Only in college can you pass out on the couch and not be judged because you’re just a college student and we’ve all been there.

Eating Ramen noodles for every meal: It’s cheap and it is the only thing you know how to make.

Stay up all night and sleep all day: There just seems to be so much more happening at night. When you’re older you actually have to show up to work unlike classes.

If you involved in a successful career, you will probably be too tired to even go out

“Will there be food?”: Have this be the one question that determines whether you will make an appearance to an event. Finding free food is probably on your resume because it makes up a third of your diet.

Hooking up with someone and never seeing them again: In college you can hook up with a guy at a frat house and probably not see him again. Once you’re out of college, you meet people who you work with or through friends. This means that you will probably have to interact with them for longer than one night.
