SO. MANY. EMOTIONS.

Recruitment As Told By New Girl

As a second semester freshman here at Wake Forest, I am going through recruitment as I write this very article. Now, some of my friends who had already gone through it tried to warn me about rush, but they either did not do a good enough job or I did not listen. Well...probably the latter. But, we are going with the first for the sake of my confidence. When I realized I still had an article to write, I knew it was going to have to be on rush since that's the only thing on my mind. So... Here is what rush is like for PNMs as told by New Girl.

The first day at your first party when they open the doors to a bunch of girls looking at you while clapping and singing...and you weren't expecting it...

What you actually want to do after they open the door to the first party...

When you don't know what you are supposed to do with your face when you walk into each party...

When you are so hungry but trying to make it through the party...

When you are talking to your friends at the end of the day and they tell you what stupid thing they said because they were so nervous....

When you get your schedule back each day and are super confused because you were dropped from the sorority you thought you bonded with...

When you are stressed out every night thinking about the next day and decide the only way to cope with the stress is to eat...

What you want to do at the end of each day except you can't because rush rules...

Coming out of some parties like...

Coming out of other parties like...

Now, I would love to tell you what my emotions are about pref night and bid day, but alas... Wake Forest had to postpone rush because Mother Nature chose this week to bring winter to Winston-Salem...

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

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.
