An Open Letter To My Sorority Sisters

No one really understands a sisterhood until they are a part of one.

An Open Letter To My Sorority Sisters
LiveLoveLetters

I've never been that great at making friends. Especially friends with girls. I grew up with a younger brother and older boy cousins who taught me what it was like to run through the woods, play with worms and make mud pies. I was always a slight tomboy, which was fine but made it hard to make friends with girls at a young age. Since I started college I have been able to step out of my comfort zone and gained many more remarkable people in my life. Besides just gaining friends I have also gained sisters, and possibly the best sisters I could have.

Dear Sisters,

I am so happy to be able to officially call you that. I want to congratulate all of you because you all worked so hard and made this finally happen for us. You finally gave us a sisterhood to be a part of. You are not only the reason that this happened, but you, as my sisters, are the reason why our sisterhood is so amazing.

The main thing I am hoping to do with this article is to thank every single one of you. Thank you for forming an amazing sisterhood, not only buisness wise. You have given me so much more than sisters. You have given me the confidence to succeed. I now have people to be there for me rooting me on when I have a really hard test or huge paper due. I have sisters looking out for me making sure I am doing the best I can.

Thank you for making me realize I am not alone. I have always felt like the world and everyone in it was fighting against me. Like many other people, I go through rough patches where I don't know how I could be any more alone than I actually am. You have given me people to be there for me when I need to know I am special, remembered and most importantly loved. I now have people to hang out with and confide in during my hard times. I have sisters to eat with, watch movies with and vent to when needed.

Thank you for giving me a group of girls that I know I can rely on. I am so happy to say that I have this amazing group of people who want me to be myself and not judge me for it. It is so nice to know that I can be my crazy, annoying self and you will just join in with me.

Thank you for not only reassuring that this is my home, but making it my home and for making yourselves my family. No one can describe what its like to have such a deep connection with people that you are not ashamed of anything you do around them. No one can explain what a bond like sisterhood actually feels like. No one can go and tell you that by getting to know certain people you will find a home and a family within that home.

Love always,

Your very thankful sister

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
