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!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
