An Open Letter To Albirght's Orinitation Group 1
John Pankratz

This past week, I have had the honor, pleasure, and privlage to be a P.O.P. of my college’s Welcome Weekend. I know what you’re thinking… What in the Lord’s name is a P.O.P. Well, its an acronym for the title Peer Orientation Person. In short, I was an orientation leader. Now this experience was none like no other. I had the time of my life. I enjoyed it even more than I enjoyed orientation when I was a freshman – which I thought was almost impossible. I couldn’t have had the great experience that I did if it wasn’t for the amazing groupies that I had so this … is for you.

To Group 1,

This past week has been absolutely perfect. From theme reveal, to move in day, to the final meal, I have never felt like I was unable to be myself because this group of people was always just so perfect. I can’t tell you how much you have all impacted me in this short time but well, I’m sure as hell gonna try.

You guys are absolutely wonderful. You have been the light of my days (granted it was all of my days but you know what I meant). Seeing you guys let loose and begin to grow and enjoy your time with us as a group made me smile from ear to ear. I can tell you enough how proud and happy I am that you all not only showed up (because that can be hard to achieve sometimes) but you all participated, listened attentively, and were constantly respectful to whoever was presenting. It's as if I was a mom watching over her lil babies and you guys were my lil babies. You made me proud to be my P.O.P. and hope that you are proud to be my groupies.

Our group kicked butt no matter what we did and even though you guys were a tad uncomfortable at first, you eventually were okay with the fact that we were constantly hip thrusting in front of large groups of people. I want you guys to remember that no matter where you go and what you do, there is always someone doing the same thing somewhere so just go for it and live your life. I know it can be hard to just say forget the haters at all times because well, were human, but if you remember anything I have told you this week, I ask that you remember this. No matter what anyone says or what anyone thinks, you are beautiful and you are wonderful and you are uniquely you and that is all that matters.

You guys have given me a new perspective on things which is so weird because I have only known you for less than a week at this point. You are my groupies and I will always be your P.O.P. I will always be here for you whenever you may need or want to talk or just mess around and have some fun. Thank you for being the best groupies that I could have asked for. I hope that your next four years at Albright are great ones.

Love,

K-Dog the illest P.O.P. eva

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
