Reflecting On This Semester

Take the leap because you never know where you will land.

Reflecting On This Semester

Have you ever met someone and you just clicked? You knew that you would be in each other's lives for a long time, be there for each other and help each other through most things? I feel like that is what college does. College throws you into this group of people and you know that you all are going to be best friends for a very long time.

When I first made friends here at school I was torn between the "me" that was safe or the "me" that was going to actually take the jump and go and do what I wanted. I had the group of people that I felt I would mesh well with or the group that my roommate was going toward...I was torn but I did what I didn't think I would do: I took the leap.

I decided to not take the safe road. I became friends with one of the guys in my dad's old social club here and began getting to know all of them. I made friends with the swimmers and I ended up falling for the blue eyed red headed ΣΑΣ that my dad had introduced me to.

While I'm looking back on this crazy first semester I just realize how amazing it is to find your people. I have some of the greatest friends and my am I thankful for that.

So as finals start and everything begins getting crazy just remember that your friends are still there for you. Don't let your stress push the people closest to you away.

Happy finals!

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
