It's January, which means that it's spring recruitment time for Greek life here at Ohio State. If you are going through recruitment right now, you know that the week in between the two recruitment weekends are filled with anxiety because you just want to know where you will end up. You will also feel me on all of the following levels.

Talking to all these beautiful girls in all the different chapters, and then you go home to realize that you are, in fact, a sack of potatoes.

The feeling of your toes, hands, face, and pretty much your whole being becomes numb from the cold.

That's OK, though, because they have food waiting for you.

Yes, the frostbite subsides when you get inside and they offer you food—aka chips with guac or maybe candy. Yum.

Don't be fooled—those small snacks don't actually take away your hunger.

Going through recruitment, all you want is food, food, and more food.

Caffeine.

You just constantly feel like you need a pick-me-up to be on your A-game, so you find everyone at Starbucks (or they are trying to thaw out between rounds).

Constantly wondering what your makeup, hair, and outfit look like since you've been frolicking from house to house.

Yeah, you definitely do not look like this.

Feeling very popular because you exchanged numbers with a bunch of people that you met going through recruitment.

Being dead tired.

After the hours upon hours of being in the cold and talking nonstop you're drained.

When you finally get home, you have time to process things and all you think is:

Everything seems to blur during recruitment.

Then you realize that there were a bunch of girls you saw yourself in because they were all nice and fun.

Then, processing further, you think that they may not think you're as cool as you think and you'll get dropped.

It's all good, though, because ~the system works~ and you'll end up where you're supposed to.
