Ahh, the glorious and so longly awaited day of every PNMs wishes: bid day. All the grueling work during recruitment is over and they can finally run home to the women they now get to call sisters. However, while the days following bid day are extremely exciting, they are entirely different from a recruiter's perspective.
1. Sleep, Sleep, Sleep
After the two weeks of spirit week and recruitment, a recruiter has probably been averaging about five hours of sleep a night. We are so physically and emotionally exhausted that we may even decide to never get back out of bed.
2. Food
Having been practically locked in our sorority house and devouring whatever was provided, we now have the luxury to go out to our favorite restaurants and eat all we want.
3. No Makeup
Wearing tons of makeup every single day of recruitment, and practically all day, takes a major toll on anyone's skin. We can finally wash it all off and bask in the happiness of being able to rub our eyes without a complete mess. We go from looking like flawless robots to literal trolls. We no longer try to impress.
4. Continue unpacking from two weeks ago
Even though we have already moved into our place, all of our stuff is most likely still in boxes. We spend long days and nights in the sorority house and by the time we get home we are way to exhausted to even think about unpacking. Living out of a suitcase becomes a major reality.
5. The sudden realization that classes start
Now that we are officially completely exhausted and depleted of any energy, we have the impending doom of actually having to get up for classes and looming tests in the not-so-distant future.
But it's okay, because we wouldn't have it any other way. We are enjoying some of the best years of our lives.
