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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
