I never considered myself to be a sorority girl but I am so thankful for you.

Open Letter To My Sorority
Claire Blanchard

To My Sorority,

Honestly, I never considered myself to be a sorority girl. Even deciding to rush this fall was a last minute decision and honestly, it was one of the best decisions I have ever made by far.

The entire rush week process was a whirlwind of emotions, laughter, and excitement. A lot of it is a blur but one thing that I remember extremely clearly is I fell in love with my sorority the first night. And from that moment on I knew, this is where I belong. People will tell you once you find your sorority you will know because it feels like home. Those words rang true from the moment I first walked into the room and it continues to feel more and more like home with every day in between.

I am so thankful for the amazing friends I have been introduced too. Some from the very first day and others I continue to make with every day that passes in the sorority. I am so thankful for my absolutely amazing big. You are the big sister I never had, you are always there when I need to talk or laugh. You are there when I need to vent or just want some company. I am so thankful for the endless opportunities to help give back to the community. I am thankful for every meeting, social, formal, and sisterhood events they always seem to make my week a little bit brighter.

So to my sorority, thank you. Thank you for introducing me to new friends who I honestly can't imagine going through my first semester of college without. Thank you for giving my such a perfect big who gets me and gives the best advice. Thank you for making my first semester of college as perfect as it could be. Thank you for helping my find my home, my love for my sorority grows with every day.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
