To my big sister,

This past semester as your little sister has been an amazing one. I would never have imagined finding someone so similar to me anywhere, especially not in such a large group of women. But low and behold, we were paired together for the better.

I can never repay you for welcoming me into Theta Phi like you have and including me in everything because we both know how needy I am. Not only have you showed me the ropes of sorority life, but you have also introduced me to some of the best people Theta Phi has to offer.

Yes, I mean Jessi and Emma.

I know that despite me being an actual child compared to everyone else, it doesn’t matter that I can’t get into Landy past 9 P.M. because we’ll probably end up at Applebee’s almost ordering the same thing again. Or at Samurai, despite you being the only one who’ll eat sushi.

It makes me a little nervous that at the end of Fall 2018, I’ll be all by myself with Emma and all of Theta Phi. But in such little time, you have made me feel so secure and at home in Theta Phi, that I know I will be okay.

You will have to come back in January because turning 20 without you will be no fun.

I can only hope that one day, when you come back to visit, I have made you proud and I am carrying on the legacy of the Sugar Tree well with the rest of my new member class. The Peep Branch would never have happened without you being afraid of needles, but it would never have been possible without you supporting me throughout my new member process.

I love you, even though you force all of the Peeps you don’t want onto me. I am so happy I get to be your little sister.

Love, Taylor (Or Gab #2).

Ten Truths Every Honors Student Knows

One of the main reasons I came to Salem State was I was offered a spot in the honors program. While it offered many benefits, scholarships and priority registration to name a few, what drew me in was the strong sense of community and close knit friendships many found. I am glad to say that that I did find these things, and so much more. I found a home made up of some of the most brilliant and most unique people I have ever met. Being in an honors program creates a college experience unlike any other and creates some universal truths that really only an honors student can fully understand.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?
