To The Friends I Didn't Know I Was Missing

Nicole Gambino

In life, there are very few people that you can point out and say, "those were the people who changed my life, they made a difference." When going into college and starting a new chapter in your life, your filled with a bunch of new things. New environment, new home, and most importantly, new roommates. If you're as lucky as I got to be, those random roommates that you get assigned might just end up to be your best friends. Or better yet the ones who changed your life and made a difference.

To my wonderful roommates,

Life has passed us by quicker then we expected. 9 months ago we were placed in a jail cell looking dorm and were complete strangers. Not knowing anything about each other besides our names and which part of the state we lived in. Once it stopped being a little awkward in the beginning and we got to know each other on a more personal/comfortable level, such a good bond was already forming. I like to think I got pretty lucky when it came to the four of you.

Our jail cell looking dorm started to feel somewhat like home, but better yet, the four of you started to feel like home. As the past 9 months flew by, I can’t help but think how appreciative I am for you. Starting with the endless amounts of laughter and happiness you've brought into my life everyday, and being there when I needed a shoulder to cry on during some of my worst days. Having at least one person around to always vent to, hangout with, and always be there for you is one of the best parts about having a close bond.

Ultimately, you showed me what true friendship is and what it looks like. As roommates, we see the good, the bad and the ugly, but no matter what you always supported me in everything (even when it was bad decisions) and continuously had my back. I couldn't have asked for much more.

It's funny to think we've spent our whole lives without each other and never realized something was missing, until we met. I officially can't imagine a life without you guys and being apart is going to be a lot harder than I thought. I will miss the tiny details about all of you and the memories we made as a whole will always stick with me.

My heart will be with the four of you no matter how far apart we may go in life.

With all my love,

Your annoying roomie.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

LaGrange College

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
