5 Things I Heard During Recruitment that I Never Want to Hear Again. Ever.

Don't get me wrong, recruitment was definitely worth it in the end, but man, the process was the most grueling experience of my life.

If you have gone through rush, I guarantee you have heard these five things.

1. "Boobs to butt girls!" -Every gamma chi ever.

When you're standing outside a house (in alphabetical order, I might add) and we were right up on about fifty of our closest friends in the 100 degree heat. Talk about thriving.

2. "OMG, Alpha Alpha Alpha cut me, *calls mom*"-Literally everyone.

You could not walk down the row without hearing this conversation at least once. I'm definitely not hating though, I have been there girl.

3. "So tell me about yourself"-Every interview ice breaker 

Along with, "What is your major" and "How was move in day for you?" this was the most common conversation starter when you sat down to talk to your potential sister. Hey, I guess it worked.

4. "Girl where did you get your shoes/skirt/necklace?" -Me and everyone else on the row.

It was like shopping. Walking down the row I saw so many cute outfits and everyone was asking who got what from where. Rush week was basically fashion week, and then there was me who was in shorts and tennis shoes everyday.

5. "So this is my friend Kelly/Mary/Casey/etc. and she is going to talk to you now"

After talking to one girl for about five minutes, another girl would nonchalantly walk up and they would switch and you would tell her the same story pretty much. After about three houses and like four different interviews in each house, every conversation ran together.

As you can see from my cover photo I have found my home and could not be happier. Rush week was a major struggle but the benefits of it will 100% be worth it and last a lifetime.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
