It’s nearing the end of the semester, which means not only that finals and Christmas Break are approaching, but it also means that I’m getting closer to not seeing half of my pledge class for four months, or more. There are about ten of you leaving, and you all are going to have the time of your lives all on different ends of the globe; Spain, Italy, Australia, Chile; parts of the world that I wish I was visiting along with you. This next semester will undoubtedly be a life-changing experience, where you all will grow as students and as individuals, and I can't wait to see you embrace your adventures!

So, to my roommates, best friends, and sisters, my wish for you is this: have so much fun, wherever you travel to, but please don’t forget about all of us back in the US because we’ll miss you like crazy. The Big White House will undoubtedly feel empty without you all, so please text, facetime, and call us whenever possible.

Here’s to the last month of the semester of us all being under one roof for a while, love you all!
