An Explanation to My Not-So-Greek Best Friend

"Hey. Wait. Okay, sorry! I just had to look at this GroupMe notification."

I know what you're thinking: "I'm so srat you just can't even." You have probably also questioned if I'm wearing pants or not. The answer is yes. I know this new life I've thrown myself into is some sort of outer space nonsense to you, but it has become a big part of my life.

I know the glitter and crafts can be a little much. I know that my usual Pinterest pinning habits, which included places to travel, good food, and music, have been replaced by big/little ideas, social outfit ideas, and cooler Ideas. I also know you have contemplated unfollowing me (which I'm glad you haven't). Every social media account bio has my letters proudly displayed and I post 1,826,515,819 Instagram pictures a week. I notice the confused look on your face when you hand me my phone telling me I have a text from "Biggie." I get that you don't understand the phenomenon behind the sorority girl squat and that throwing what I know at every chance I get can be too much.

This world is crazy and different, but I love every part of it! So if you could look past the neon Nike shorts and XL t-shirts, I want you to know that though I have 200 sorority sisters, you are still just as much of my sister because you know way too much about me, and I wouldn't ever want to change that. The truth is we don't have to match in letters to show it.

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!

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.
