fake college romance story pt. 1

I've been very negative lately. How about a slight change of pace?

***

Clara was just starting college. She knew she had plenty to worry about. She knew that her time would be more than filled with studying and making plans for her future. That's why when she realized she may have a shot at getting into Alpha Gamma Zeta, she felt guilty for even considering it.

Strangely, the more she considered it, the more sense it made. Stress, studying and restlessness were guaranteed during these next four years. Perhaps becoming a part of the freshest sorority on campus would guarantee an escape from that (if needed). Clara knew she wouldn't be able to depend on herself to unwind. If there had been one thing she'd been a failure at in her life thus far it would be her failure to have decent plans when the opportunity arose to actually have decent plans. Usually her extra-curricular efforts were actually studies in stir-craziness.

A sorority. Surely there are plenty of reasons girls would actually want to attend one, right? Surely the girls who do attend aren't as stupid as the stereotype, right? Regardless, even though she's not the type of girl who would consider it, the silly adventure of it all was selling itself.
