Hey, Soul (Sorority) Sisters

To the sisters I love dearly.

Hey, Soul (Sorority) Sisters

Going into college, I would have never thought I would join Greek life. After my first semester I decided I would go check it out. After "Meet the Greeks" I learned a lot about some of the sisters and saw how close they were.

After going through, I got my bid. I have never been more happy about something. Some people join Greek life to have the letters on their chest and the label as a "sorority girl" or "fraternity guy." There is a lot more to it than that. From starting, I already have become more of an outgoing person and go out of my way to get more involved around campus and in the sorority.

I finished my first semester as an official sister, and I couldn't have been more happy. Some of the most amazing memories already were getting my amazing big, formal, and bounce. Getting my big was one of the most amazing feelings i have ever encountered in my life. I wouldn't have wanted anybody else as my big. She is the greatest person I've met, and we already have so many amazing memories together and so many things in common. One thing I can tell someone who is looking into Greek life is: don't look for a big that looks like they have the money, go for someone that is going to help you become a better woman in the world, one that will be there for you and will keep everything you guys have talked about between you guys, then you will find yourself the perfect big like I did. I love my big and my family line so so much.

Long story short, I am so happy I joined Greek life. It has helped me so much and made me such a better person already. I have so many amazing memories and new friends because of it. Much love to my sisters in my sorority; I would be very lost if it wasn't for all of you guys. #AnchorsUp

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.
