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!

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
