A Letter to my New Sisters

Thank you for being you

Aug 22, 2016

As you probably know, it is time to start school again. The summer is officially over. We slip out of summer mode and into school mode. The one unique about this upcoming school year: living in a house with 100 other girls that I call my sorority sisters. Hey guys, this one's for you:

Dear sisters/housemates,

I would like to start by saying that I am more excited to live with you than anything. I am so excited to have you all in my life and most importantly, I am extremely excited to share the next couple of years with you.

Thank you for already being there for me. From helping me move in to coming to check on me after I finished organizing my life, you never fail to just be there when I may need it. I want to thank you for being a never-ending support system because you want to be, not because you have to be. Thank you for never judging me and continuing not to. Thank you for making me feel at home and for making me feel like I belong.

I want to also thank you ahead of time for all that you will do for me. The boy drama to come, the binge-eating and the rough nights at the frats. I know you'll be there through all of that plus some. Thank you ahead of time for wiping my tears, easing my stress, going out with me (even when you don't want to) and never judging me. I am endlessly appreciative.

I hope that you know that I will always be here for you, and not because I have to be. I'm less than just a phone call away, I'm literally down the hall. I will always be available to vent, eat cheese sticks or bing-watch 80's movies. I hope that you realize that I am not just someone you live with and not just a "sister", but I am also a best friend. I will always be someone you can count on, long after we graduate and live in different places.

Most of all, above all of the thank you's, I would like to show my appreciation for the memories we're about to make. You'll all be there for my greatest feats and greatest downfalls. You'll stand up in my future wedding. You're just going to be there, and for that I am forever grateful.

To my current sisters and all of my sisters to come, it's about to be the best couple of years of our lives, cheers!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
