Hi, My Name Is...

And this is what I want you to know about me.

Hi, My Name Is...
Ana Thompson

Hi, my name is Anastasia Thompson. I like to be called Ana. I am writing this because I have ran into some people who have gotten the wrong first impression of me. I have had multiple people tell me that they thought that I was mean and stuck up upon first glance. This bothers me because I have no control over this, it's my RBF! For those who don't know, RBF is a resting bitch face. I promise I don't mean to look like I hate the world! So for anybody who has seen me and gotten the wrong impression or anybody who would like to talk to me but won't because they think I look mean, please read this.

I am actually a really nice person I promise! My favorite things to do are play hockey, write, and spend time with friends and family. I love the outdoors and sunshine and I am a "stop and smell the roses" type of person. I enjoy trying to appreciate the smaller things in life. I value loyalty, honesty, respect, and hard work. I am not someone who goes out of their way to be mean, I love putting smiles on people's faces. I can't be sitting in one place for too long or else I go stir crazy. I am just as happy spending my weekends with a few friends going on small adventures as I am with going to parties. I am extremely shy and I wish I could change it but I don't know how. I will always try to do all that I can to help someone out, friend or not. I believe that you can never have too many friends, but as long as they are true friends, not fake ones.

Brace yourselves because here comes the more embarrassing stuff about me:

I still listen to kids music regularly. I'm talking about Hannah Montana, the Jonas Brothers, and soundtracks from my favorite Disney movies. I would rather watch a cartoon than anything else. If you asked me if I wanted to have an "Every Disney Movie Ever!" marathon, I would drop whatever I am doing and watch it with you. Sometimes I start singing randomly in public and I don't realize t because I think I'm singing in my head. I also dance randomly in public at times as well, and I am a terrible dancer. I talk to my cat when I have a bad day and I have accepted the fact that I will be a crazy cat lady when I grow up. I'm still afraid of the dark. I also can't watch scary movies on my own because I will get myself too scared and I won't be able to sleep, even with the lights on.

I just wanted to tell everyone who doesn't know me well enough to know this stuff, this is who I am. Although I try to show veeryone this side of me I can't because my shyness oercomes me and I find it hard to speak to people. But I promise that if you take the time to get to know this side of me, my favorite side of me, you will have a lifelong friend.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

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.
