The Days Following Bid Day As Told By A Recruiter

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
