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!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
