Faces Work Week Survivors Will Relate To

I mean..."Spirit" Week.

Faces Work Week Survivors Will Relate To
California State University

'Tis the season for moving back to school...which means recruitment...which means, dun dun dun...work week. Also known as the one time a year when we willingly give up our last week of summer to move back early and work our butts off, all for the sake of ~sisterhood~ and making sure everything is perfect to recruit a new pledge class. Sure, the bonding is fun and of course we'd do anything for our sisters, but also, work week is exhausting.

1. When told to redo something for the millionth time

As in: "Can you rewrite that sign, but move the letters up half an inch?" *smiles on the outside and screams on the inside*

2. When running on less than 6 hours of sleep

You'll start to wonder if you're actually losing your sanity and need to rely on your sisters to remind you of what's happening.

3. When asked a question you have no opinion on

Yes, I am desperately trying to care about whether or not we should change the bows to a shade lighter...but I just do see why it matters so much.

4. When someone throws you under the bus


Sends death glare over the heads of hundreds of other girls...

5. When you miss your name at roll call

Real friendship is imitating someone else's voice so they don't get fined for running a few minutes late.

6. When the day goes longer than the schedule said it would

Mantra: Complaining won't make it end faster.

7. When you finally crack

Also known as that night when everything is going wrong and everyone is dancing on your last nerve and you just start hysterically laughing, like a deranged person.

8. When someone is yelling after 10 p.m. and keeping you awake


What kind of monster wastes valuable sleeping hours?

9. When your voice sounds like an adolescent boy

Chanting at the top of your lungs all day for an entire week only has negative results on the vocal chords; if you can speak above a whisper, you're doing it wrong.

10. When you have to search for something in the creepy basement

My brain @ me: "You know what we haven't thought about for a while? Ghosts."

11. When you're waiting to eat lunch

Surely no one notices that I'm hovering around the door to the kitchen, right?

12. When you remember you'll have a whole new pledge class in a weekBecause even though it's more work than you could have possibly imagined and even though your sisters have started to drive you crazy, it's all worth it in the end. What's better than adding dozens of new voices and personalities to the craziness that is Greek life?

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.
