Sisters never truly say goodbye.

A Goodbye Letter To My Sorority Family
Ashley Manchee

When you join a sorority, your sorority family are the first people who you have a connection within your chapter. When I joined, my family was small; there were only five of us: my g-big, my big, my twin and my g-big's second little. While most of the families in my sorority are only losing one member this semester, mine is losing three of our original five members. My g-big, my big and my twin are all about to graduate, and even though I will still have my little, it's sad to see so many of the girls who I first connected within my sorority go. So here is a letter dedicated to three of the most important women I have met in college thus far.

Dear G-Big,

You are such an inspiring person. You were the president of our chapter, and I have always looked up to you. You always handle yourself with class, and you truly embody what it means to be a Tri Delta. Thank you for always being there when I needed help or had Activity Chair crises. You always know how to keep a level head and handle a stressful situation. I always love spending time with you, and you always make me smile when I am with you. You are such a kind, genuine person, and you bring joy to everyone around you. Thank you for being such a great role model. I know you are going to do amazing things after you graduate, and I can't wait to see them. I hope you will come back and visit us all the time. I am going to miss you so much.

Dear Twin,

You were one of my first real friends in Tri Delta. Even before we were close with our big, we were close to each other. I am so glad that we got to bond together as Rho Gammas this year during recruitment. You are so sassy and funny; you always make me laugh when we are together. You are such a strong, confident person, and I have learned so much from you during our time as twins. You are such a beautiful dancer, and you are an amazing dance teacher. It is so amazing that you know exactly what you want to do after you graduate. You are so amazing, and I know you are going to do great things in the future. I hope we can continue to be the best twins ever!

Dear Big,

First of all, how dare you graduate college a year early! But seriously, though, when I found out you were my big, I thought I had the coolest big in our sorority. You were on the Panhellenic Executive Board and all I wanted was to follow in your footsteps and spread the Panhellenic love. We have had so many amazing experiences together; you have been a mentor to me in a lot of ways and someone who I have always looked up to. More importantly, though, you have been an amazing friend! Whenever we are together there are constant laughs, and we always have fun together. Even though we will both be living in Austin, I am going to miss having you around campus and hanging out with you on a regular basis. So even though this isn't really goodbye, I wish you all the best, and I know you are going to go on and do amazing things with your life. I love you, and you better come visit me literally every day.


Good luck to my beautiful family as you enter the next phase of your lives.

I love you guys!

Brianna

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
