Shout Out To My Sisters

Shout Out To My Sisters
Caitlin Lawler

My freshman year I went to a small school in New Hampshire called Franklin Pierce. After being there for one semester I knew I had to get out. It was way to laid back for me, and in the middle of nowhere. Only about 1,500 people attend, I am used to being busy all the time not having to see the same people everyday, and having civilization around me. When I made the decision to transfer I was so worried that I wasn’t going to be able to make new friends because everyone finds their group of friends their freshman year of college. I knew I had to join something. I talked to my friend Jake from back home, who is also in a fraternity at Oneonta. I asked him if I should join Greek life when I transfer to Oneonta, he said “ Yes it was one of the best decisions I made when I first got to school.” Then proceeded to tell me about how he thought I would fit in with the girls of Phi Sigma Sigma.

As I arrived to campus the first night I met a couple of the girls on my floor, they weren’t very welcoming. That’s what made me nervous I wasn’t going to be able to make any friends without being a part of something on campus. So I decided I definitely need to join a sorority. I remember Jake telling me about the girls of Phi Sigma Sigma and I noticed that they had a couple of events during the first week school and I figured why not? I went to the events met a couple of the girls throughout rush week, got to know them and hanging out with them felt so natural. Everyone was so welcoming and so much fun.

I knew that I wanted to be a part of the sisterhood. All during rush week I was so nervous I wasn’t going to get a bid, and all I wanted was some friends going into a school where I only knew about five people. At the end of rush week I was so excited when I received my bid! FRIENDS!! Ever since that day I decided to rush, I made the best decision of my life. I could not even imagine what my life would be like without being in Phi Sig at Oneonta.

Being part of this sisterhood I never get bored because someone is always down to hangout, and you meet more people within different Greek organizations and make more and more friends. Transferring to Oneonta and Joining Phi Sigma Sigma was the best decision I have ever made and I could not be happier!

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.
