Dear Mom, I Can't Thank You Enough

The list would go on and on.

Dear Mom,

Over the years, I have made it a constant thing to say I love you every day. But I have not made it a constant thing to say thank you to you every day. In thinking about that, I know that I can't even begin to thank you enough for what you have done for me, but I can try.

Thank you for always being there for me no matter what I need. It could range from being a quick hug to a new iPhone, and you will (almost) always give it to me. Your support means everything to me.

Thank you for encouraging me throughout the past 19 years. Without you, I would have never applied to be in the honors programs in High School or at University. I would have never pushed myself to do anything because I didn't believe in myself. But you believed in me and that's what mattered most.

Thank you for always finding time to talk to me. I know we both have very busy schedules and don't always find time to have long conversations every day, but if I am having a very bad day, you always rework your schedule to talk to me about whatever is bothering me.

Thank you for helping me to learn from my mistakes. Without you, I probably would not know about half of the mistakes I have made or could have been making, but thanks to you, I do. You always help me to understand what I did wrong and how I could have done it better. Who knows what kind of trouble I could have put myself in without your guidance.

Thank you for being you. You are the strongest person I know. You always help others before you help yourself, and you have never once complained about having to do it. You are always willing to help anyone you can, whether it's family or just someone who looks like they could use the help. You always have a smile on your face and try to make others laugh when they look like they're having a bad day. You always know just the right words to say.

You are a role model to so many. I wish to be like you some day. I could go on and on about everything you have done and how grateful I am for it, but that letter would be longer than the dictionary, so I think I should quit while I'm ahead. I just hope you know how amazing you are and how proud I am to know someone like you.

And lastly, although I know how hard I am to deal with sometimes, thank you for loving me just as much (if not more) than I love you.

Love,

Your Favorite Daughter and Best Friend

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
