A Letter To My Freshman Year Hall

Came in as strangers, will leave as family.

A Letter To My Freshman Year Hall
Rate My Campus

To the girls on the third floor of WomCom, (including you Yadkin girls).

I want to start off by saying thank you. Thank you to each and every one of you. Thank you for loving me, and supporting me, for crying with me, and laughing with me. Thank you for the random dance parties, and late night conversations. Thank you for being yourselves.

I will never understand why hall living is considered to be such a dread, because it is honestly such a blessing. I will never forget move in day, moving in with a bunch of strangers, and leaving as so much more than just hall mates, but really y’all became family. There were many times during the school year where I just couldn't help but thank the Lord for putting each of you in my life.

All of our unique strengths and personalities shined in the friendships we formed. I cannot help but smile at the random hall homework parties, and the random acts of love we have shown each other throughout the year. I do not feel anything but an overwhelming amount of support and love for my hall galpals. I do not think I could have asked for a better group of girls to have lived with this year at High Point University. We accepted each other, we loved each other, we had a blast with each other and now we will miss each other.




And as we branch off into our separate ways I just want to say two things:

To our amazing, and kind RA-- thank you. Thank you for taking on such a crazy group. Thank you for loving us, thank you for supporting us, and thank you for pushing us to reach our goals. I know it isn't always easy, especially when you have a group like us, but we are really thankful to have you in our lives, and wouldn't want it any other way. We love you, and thank you for loving us.

To my North third floor girls (and Yadkin), next year it will be so different not being able to knock on everyone’s door to celebrate the victories or cry about the not so great parts of college, but that doesn't mean I won’t be continuing to support you guys. I will be cheering for each and every one of you. Whether that means being 500 miles away, or right down the street. I hope you guys play to your strengths. I know each of you bring such unique qualities into this world, and I cannot wait and see how each of you are going to shine. I love you all, and the memories we have shared will forever hold a place in my heart.

So, cheers to my North third floor GalPals (and Yadkin). Thank you for being a crazy fun bunch. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for making my first year living on campus so memorable. I love you all!

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.
