A Bittersweet Goodbye To My Summer Co-Workers

Thanks for making work not so bad.

To my fellow co-workers,

I want to start off by saying thank you for making this summer bearable, even somewhat fun at times. I went into this summer with high hopes, and although it definitely wasn't the summer I wanted it to be, I'm so grateful I had you guys right there with me.

Getting up at 6:30 am every day was definitely not my favorite part of the day by any means, but you guys made it worth it. Even if I came in dreading having to be there, you managed to put a smile on my face and make me laugh.

Kids are tiring, this is a known fact. Having to watch them and take care of them is our job, and I never left not feeling exhausted. But there were the good times where we would laugh and play and make the most out of us all being tired. If we are tired and not feeling it, might as well be together, right?

You guys are honestly some of my favorite people, and you've taught me so much. Every day I go to work, I get excited to see you all and hear about your lives and learn more about you. I also love our group chat and know that we will keep it going even after we all head our separate ways for the fall.

Thank you guys for making my summer a lot less boring, and for not just being my co-workers, but also my friends. I'll miss you a lot when I go back to school, but I know you're both only a phone call or text away if I need anything. I'll see y'all in December!

Love,

Allison

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

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.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
