Dear Sorority Sisters, Best Friends, Carillon Dining Hall Workers, and the Cashier at the Union who always judges me for getting a frosted sugar cookie,

I’m going to miss you all so much over these next three weeks. I’m going to miss the memories we’ve made over these past few months, and I hope next semester is just as awesome. I’m going to miss our late nights and early mornings, I’m going to miss walking across campus just to get good vegan food at the Oaks, and driving across town to satisfy a craving for Panera’s Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich (with no feta cheese). I’m going to miss the cops that sit in Taco Bell at night, you always make me nervous even though I’ve done nothing illegal. I’m going to miss the Jimmy John’s delivery guy who yells at me when I don’t tip enough, sorry dude, I got you next time.

Most of all, I’m going to miss my sorority sisters. This past semester, being a member of Greek Life has been the best part of my college experience. I’ve met so many amazing people, inside and outside of my chapter. I have had the best times of my life at Greek events, being around amazing people who all have one great thing in common: they want to improve their college experience. My sorority sisters are some of the most motivated, inspiring and involved people that I have met at Bowling Green State University, and I wouldn’t want to be surrounded by anyone else. I’m so thankful that I get to be a part of an organization that supports and encourages such wonderful women to reach their full potentials at college. I can honestly say it’s been the best decision I have made at college. I always have someone to go eat with, to go study with, to go to Hockey games with and create lasting memories with.

This break, as I go three weeks without seeing some of my best friends, I know I’ll be missing the memories we made this past semester. Between dancing at retreat and opening each other’s gifts at our Holiday Party, I can honestly say these past six months have changed my life for the better. For all the hard times that my sisters have helped me through, and for all the good times that my sisters helped me create, I know I would not be the person I am without my sisters. I feel so lucky to know that these women are on my side no matter what.

The Holidays are a time to reflect on my blessings, and these women are and have always been a blessing to me. I am so thankful to have Greek life bring me closer to such amazing people and I wouldn't want it any other way. I'm going to miss everything about Bowling Green this break, but mostly, I am going to miss my sisters.
