An Open Letter To My New Member Class

"Whoa, we're halfway there..."

An Open Letter To My New Member Class
Taylor Adams

To my new member class,

This past week marked the halfway point of our journey to becoming sisters of one of the greatest sororities in the world, and I am so incredibly grateful to have every single one of you in my life.

We have already been through so much within these past weeks and I have loved every single minute of it. I know, no matter what, there will always be someone to get food with me, go to an event with me, or even listen to my random problems.

I already feel at home with all of you and there is no one else I would rather go through this process with than all of you.

I have never been a part of such a supportive group of women that always has my best interest at heart. I have never instantly connected with a group of women like I have with you all and it means so much to me.

I am so thankful that everyone is unabashedly unafraid to be themselves and expects the same out of me. Knowing that we all share the same core values is the icing on the cake.

To know that many of us have the privilege of spending the next three and a half years together, experiencing everything Rowan and TPA have to offer us makes me so ecstatic.

I am so excited for our futures together and the ability to watch every single one of you grow into the amazing women I know you will become. I am even more excited about the memories and experiences we will have in the years to come.

I hope all of you know I am here if you ever need anything, no matter the case. Our time with TPA may have just begun, but I can already tell we’re forming friendships to last years.

Love, Me

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
