It's Your Bid Day
Liz Smith

To my new sisters on Bid Day,

I can't tell you how excited I am that you've chosen to fly with the best. We, as a chapter, have been preparing for you for a while and I can tell you that we are all so pumped to get to know you. We saw that you carried our values, we saw that you sparkled and we wanted you.

I remember my Bid Day like it was yesterday. I was nervous and excited. It was a new chapter in my life and I couldn't wait to get 100 sisters to call my own. I remember opening up my bid card and feeling a sense of belonging before even stepping foot into the house again. I remember running home into the arms of a group of girls I now call my family. I can only imagine your joy, your nerves and your love for your new home.

I can't wait to get to know you. I can't wait to take a million pictures with you and call you my sisters, my friends, and my grandlittle. I can't wait for you to learn about our founders, our history and fall in love with the place we call home. You're going to live our values and show the world what an amazing woman and Pi Phi you are. You're going to learn just how special our chapter is and be a part of something bigger than yourself. You're going to learn the traditions of Pi Phi and make the connections of a lifetime. You're going to find your best friends, your roommates and your future bridesmaids.

If you ever need a shoulder to cry on, you have us. If you need someone to eat pizza with you at 3 a.m., you have us. If you need someone to make you laugh until your stomach hurts, you have us. If you need a home away from home, you have us. If you need support, you have us.

You may feel like you're the lucky one that Pi Phi wanted you, but sweet angel, we're the lucky ones because you wanted us and we're so proud to call you our sisters. Welcome home, angels! We love you. PPL.

So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

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.
