In most Greek organizations, seniors have special privileges, they may even be considered rights. At times, I can be the cynical and sassy underclassman, wondering why someone, like two and a half years older than me, can cut in line for dinner, sit in the front for chapter, yell at us during recruitment, and police our going out outfits. That's fair, simply because they're seniors. I'm not angry at senior privileges, but in my mind, only one senior is worthy of all our affection. This girl deserves more than the front of the dinner line and the first row at chapter. She deserves to rule over us all. And you know exactly who I'm talking about. She's smart, funny, nice, controls herself when she goes out, strikes up the best conversations, and is an all-around role model for not only you but for everyone.
Here's where the similarities from your #seniorgoals and my #seniorgoals end, though. The senior I'm obsessed with, isn't even on exec. She stays out of all the drama about dues and rules and structure. She does exactly what she's supposed to do, nothing more, nothing less. None of the freshman know her, and there's a good amount of sophomores that don't either. It doesn't make her mean, or even rude. If you want to talk to her, she will give you one of the most wonderful conversations of your life, but she's never going to make you feel uncomfortable or unwelcome. Not only does she stay out of the middle of things, but when you ask her opinion, she provides a perfect, not bossy, not pretentious response.
She carries herself so well, always looks nice for class, and really seems to have it all together, even when she can get away with literally anything she wants. Her political views, clothing style and even accent are exactly what I want to be. She makes being nice seem so easy and being cool so effortless.
And the obsession is so real. I want to be just like her, not even when I'm a senior, but now. Right now. It's okay that she's not the most popular and it's okay that she isn't the president, the queen of the world, or the fashion police. This senior is perfect in her own perfect way and as weird as it is to have a girl crush, I genuinely hope that you find yours. And if you can't find her, be her.
