Why My Sorority Sisters Are My Role Models

Once a sister, always a sister.

Why My Sorority Sisters Are My Role Models
KSU Greek Life

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to go on a camping trip with a bunch of my sisters. I'm not the camping type, so I wasn't looking forward to this overnight trip to the woods. However, about an hour into the trip, I was having an absolute blast with my sorority sisters. I was not only getting to spend time with the sisters I'm close with, but I was getting to know a lot more about sisters I haven't had a chance to get to know. If I could take anything out of this weekend, it would be that my sorority sisters are some of the greatest women I've ever met, and I hope to be just as amazing as they are someday.

My sisters are so incredibly strong. On the surface, it's hard to tell what someone has been through. You have to dive deeper and really get to know them in order to see what they have gone through in the lifetime. Sometimes, it's shocking to see how many people have lost a loved one, been through something tragic or struggle within their own minds. But if I have learned anything from my incredible sisters, it is that they are stronger than anything. Some of them have been through hell and back, and they couldn't be stronger than ever now. I can only hope that one day I can be half as strong as they are.

My sisters are so open and loving. I have never felt more loved and supported than I have been this past weekend. There is nothing more reassuring than being told by multiple sisters that they will be there for you no matter what. That's what sisters are for, right? They are there to love and support you through everything you do, and somehow I have been blessed with over a hundred of them.Whether I've know a sister for a year or only a few minutes, I can have a great conversation with her for hours.

Being in a sorority may not be for everyone, and that's OK, but I wish everyone could meet and be loved unconditionally by hundreds of women all brought together by one organization. They say that you're born into this world alone and that you die alone, but I know that I'll never be alone because I know my sorority sisters will always be with me.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
