You mean everything to us.

To My Graduating Sorority Sisters
Sorority Sugar

Dear beautiful seniors,

I really don't know where to start. Honestly, I just can't believe that it's time for us to send you off. I foolishly denied that being an adult was required at some point in life and that college sorority life somehow lasted forever. I assumed that we would always be having dinner together after meeting, movie nights in the house, and glittering up for Greek week and homecoming together forever. But that's not how it is. You have to go out and be an adult, and as much as I need to be OK with that, I'm not. Actually, none of us are. I want to scream and tell you to stay, but I'll hold that inside if you promise to hear me out.

You all are shining stars in our eyes. Please never forget that. You helped our chapter soar to new heights in scholarship, philanthropy, and most importantly, sisterhood. You have supported us through our best and worst moments as a chapter, and for that, we are all grateful. You have no idea how special you are to each and every one of us.

We aren't ready for you to go, but we are so proud of you as you prepare to walk across that stage with your cap and gown. We are proud of how far you have come, and how far that we know you will go. These past years have been fantastic, but now it's time to let you share your beautiful souls with the rest of the world.

Do what you need to do. We know you are each going to change the world. So go ahead and go to grad school, get that dream job, travel the world, anything you want. Don't sell yourself short because we all know that you deserve absolutely nothing less than the best. Live with grace. Live with purpose. Live your dreams.

When you have a bad day in your beautiful office, or wherever your dreams take you, we hope that you look back and think of us. We hope you remember all of the smiles you gave us and how much of an inspiration that you are to each and every one of us. You are never alone. When you get lost in life, remember our values. Remember what drove you to this organization and what made you stay. And most importantly, call us. We will continue to support you through all of your future adventures. Sisterhood is not just for four years, but for life.

Please never think that you will not be missed next year. You will always be in our mind as we bring in new sisters, participate in our campus events and much more. Your positive spirit will loom over us as we continue to make our sisterhood as great as it can be.

If you forget all but one thing, please remember that you will always and forever be our sister and that we love you more than words can say.

This is not goodbye, just "see you later".

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
