An Open Letter To My Pledge Class

Dear PC,

When we started this journey most of you were strangers, and honestly their were a few of you I didn't think I was going to like at all, but as I sit here today trying to write out my feelings for you into words, listening to Sugar by Maroon 5, my heart over flows with love for my PC Babies. Who knew that after our pledge season I would feel so connected to a bunch of girls that are at first sight are nothing like me but are now bonded together with a core set of values and a love for cobalt blue. Sometimes I like to think about where I would be without these amazing, strong, and powerful women by my side, and truthfully, it is a scary thought. When I am panicked about a big job interview or excited about a first date, you ladies are there to keep me calm and pump me up. In life its the little things that matter, it is the morning coffee runs before Bid Day, that late night shenanigans, and the overwhelming group texts that mean the most over time. It has always been me against the world, but now the world better watch out because I have a fierce group of women standing with me ready to take down the patriarchy. From those standing on the outside you may not understand but that is okay, who would if you have not walked the same journey. Just remember that when you judge us for throwing what we know or jamming way too hard to A$AP Rocky.

I never really thought that sorority life would be for me. I alway thought that most of the girls I would be surrounded by would constantly be all about hair and makeup, talk about parties, and all be tall, skinny, hot blondes, but as soon as I took a leap of faith and joined you on the very first day of pledge season, I knew all those cliches would soon disappear. As soon as I got my very first bid that said "welcome to the sisterhood" and I ran out there to join the actives, with y'all by my side, I knew I would never regret this decision.

As we get older and have less time for all night talking sessions and don't get to see each other as much, remember that time cannot take away our memories or our bond, unfortunately for you guys, you are stuck with me and all my crazy habits and weird food cravings. We will always be posting inside jokes on each others Facebook pages and commenting flame emojis whenever anyone posts a selfie, and to others that may seem fake but we know that it just a daily reminder of our love. So thank you to dancing next to me to Selena's "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" in our bustier, singing all the disney songs and remixing them at the top of our lungs, always sending me snapchats whenever you hear "Sugar" and always sending the best reminders of your love and support any time, any hour of the day.


People say the friends you make in college will be the friends for the rest of you life, and with you lovely ladies by my side, my life is going to be a wild ride, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
