Don't worry, you'll end up where you belong and you'll love it.

Be genuine and real

You're going to want to show your potential new sisters who you really are, not some fabricated version of yourself. Make sure you go in ready to impress these girls with your amazing personality and enjoy every conversation you have.

Keep on top of your studies 

I know it will get overwhelming, but you're at the university to further your education, and that will always come first. Come up with a schedule beforehand and make sure you abide by it or else you will fall behind and won't have time for everything.

Go in with an open mind 

You may have your heart set on one sorority, but remember you're going into this recruiting process and meeting a bunch of different girls, you may find that a sorority you never even thought of could be the best one for you.

Don't be disappointed if things don't work out the way you wanted them to

Like said above, you may have your heart set on one sorority, but you have to remember that you will end up where you belong in the grand scheme of things, so be happy with where you end up and be open to all of the opportunities you will have going forward.

Have fun with your recruitment outfits

Make sure to represent yourself and your style! Wear what you love and makes you feel most confident, because that confidence will transfer into every conversation you have and the girls will see how confident and poised you are.

Stay hydrated

Drink water! It's a lot of talking and a lot of walking, so you need to make sure you are staying hydrated so you don't get tired or sick during the process.

Find sisters that will better you, not change you 

You want to be with girls that make you feel good about yourself, and not that you have to change something about yourself. Be with people you feel most comfortable and happy with, and in turn, it will make for an amazing 4 years.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
