A (Relatively Accurate) Timeline Of Bid Day

Bid day—the “Christmas of sorority life.” The day where dreams come true, the day where you meet your best friends and the day where you find your home for the next four years. It is the day where you find your forever family.

That being said, it is also one of the most hectic, crazy days of the year. You are going, going, going, nonstop, all day, from sunrise to sunset. It’s the longest day ever, yet it somehow goes by in the blink of an eye.

Whether you’re a PNM going through recruitment (good luck!) or a senior active, bid day is nearly here, and you’ve got to be prepared.

7 a.m. – Wake up. Realize it’s bid day. Celebrate. Repeat steps two and three.

This is literally the greatest day of my life to date.

7:15 a.m. – Begin doing hair and makeup. It needs to withstand the extreme heat and humidity all day.

Unsure if anyone will even know I curled my hair in an hour from now, but it’s worth a shot.

8:45 a.m. – Finish getting dressed, reminisce about all of the memories up until this point.

I remember when I was a PNM...

9 a.m. – Make your way down to sorority row!

Making my way downtown, walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound!

9:30 p.m. – The PNM’s arrive at the stadium. Things are heating up.

This is really happening. I think.

Waiting.

More waiting.

Literally the longest wait of your life while you wait for PNM’s to open their bids.

10 a.m. – PNM’s open their bids. It is happening!

It's actually happening!

10:10 a.m. – PNM’S running. Everywhere. It is actually happening!

This should probably be considered the eighth natural wonder of the world.

10:15 a.m. – Frantically looking for your new BFF as she arrives at her new home. Where is she?!

Can’t wait to officially call you mine.

10:16 a.m. – I found my sister friend!

Together forever.

10:30 a.m. – After pictures and cheering, brunch is served at your sorority house. These past few weeks were so worth it.

The world should know how amazing this day is.

11:00 a.m. – Showing sister friend around the house, introducing her to every sister you know, meeting new sister friends, it never really ends.

You get a sister, you get a sister, you get a sister. Everybody gets a sister!

Early afternoon- Bye baby (insert sorority mascot here)! See you in two days!

Now the real party begins.

Happy bid day to all of the incoming potential new members! May rush treat you well and these next few years even better!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
