Time to be a Sister

It's time for the moment we've all been waiting for. Initiation. I already found my house, where I fit in the most. I found the girls who love me for me and won't leave my side no matter what. These girls will have my back no matter what, they will never judge me for anything that I might have done or will do.

With initiation comes the various new knowledge and people who are in my life. First is my big, she will always be there for me no matter what. Even though we are the same age and will graduate together (weird) but it's okay, she still has more knowledge than me when it comes to navigating through Greek life but also just MSU in general because technically I am a first-year student at the university and I have the amount of knowledge that a freshman has but with the ability to manage time and excel in classes. But anyway, she's my guide for the remainder of my 3 years at MSU.

Second is all the friends that I have made in my first 2 months, if I didn't have this sorority I would have never met any of these awesome girls whom I have a lot more in common than I would have ever thought about. Most of them are like me, very studious and focused only on one goal in life and that getting a good education. Which helps me in the end because then it proves that I have good taste in choosing my friends.

These friends will be there for me till I die, I know a lot of people ask why should you pay to have friends but listen up, obviously everyone thinks like that. I mean I do and so do my friends and that's the reason we all bonded in the first place, even though that might be a negative aspect of being in Greek life, that's not the only aspect. We all get along so well that I can't even to begin to explain what I would do if I had never met them. If I had never met them, I don't think I could be the person that I am today without them.

There are many more aspects to being in a sorority and those include being able to help reach out and help the community around us. Giving back to the community means the word to me especially because I love volunteering and that shapes me to the person that I am. So, if being in a sorority makes me a better person sign me up. Because all I want in life is to be a better person and I strive to shape the people around me and if they can help me in return that's all I ask for.

So yes, let's take on initiation and see where my Pi Beta Phi journey will take me next. I mean they do say that the sorority never leaves you even after college. I especially cannot wait to the angel band that we get to wear on our left pinky finger. I live for cute dainty jewelry and being able to match with my sisters makes me smile.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
