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.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
