An Open Letter To My Boyfriend's Family

Thank you for making me a part of your family.

I was raised as an only child, so I never had any older sisters to look up to. When I discovered that my boyfriend had two sisters, I was ecstatic and thought that maybe they could be the older sisters I never had. When I first met his family, I was so nervous and tried everything to impress them. It didn't take long for me to figure out they were the most accepting and welcoming family I had ever met. I'm so thankful that they have accepted me as their own and taken such good care of me while I've been dating their son.

To his mother:

Thank you for raising your son to love Christ more than he loves me. Thank you for teaching him respect and manners, as well as responsibility. He is a hard-working man and has a great work ethic. Thank you for always supporting me and encouraging me when I was going through a hard time, and always teaching me about the Lord. I'm so grateful that you so graciously welcomed me in your life and made me feel as if I am a part of your family.

To his father:

Thank for teaching him discipline and hard-work. Thank you for encouraging him to follow God's calling and teaching him to be a God-fearing man. You've set a great example of what it looks like to wait patiently upon the Lord and to be obedient. I appreciate the wisdom and knowledge you've poured into him. I know that because of you, he is going to make a great father one day.

To his sisters:

At first, I was terrified of you. I was scared that you would think I wasn't good enough for your brother, so I tried my hardest to impress you and make you like me. Thankfully, I had nothing to be afraid of. Thank you for being the sisters I never had and treating me like I'm one of you. Thank you for teasing your brother and giving him a sense of humor. I'm thankful for the memories we've shared so far and can't wait for many more to come.

I can't thank you all enough for welcoming me with open arms and treating me like an extra family member. Thank you for caring as much as you do and always wanting the best for me. I love you guys and I couldn't imagine being a part of anyone else's family.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
