I Miss My Sisters!!!

It's been almost one month since summer started and I miss my sisters! It's nice to take a break every now and again, but now I'm ready to hang out with them again! I live in the town that our college is in, so I stay here all summer while other people leave and go home for the summer. It's nice, I like retaining my freedom and independence from my parents, but at the same time I wish other people were out here! 

Lucky (or unlucky) for me summer classes start this coming week so people should be coming back to go to class, recruitment workshops, baseball games, and more. It's nice to have a relaxing summer, but I like to actually have plans set up so you don't get sucked into having a lazy day 5 days a week. 

Well, I'm going to go sun my buns at the pool for a bit! <3

Update on My Life

I know that I said that I was going to try to go to they gym a lot more and all these other things. 

Surprise, surprise. Nothing much happened. Lucky for me, sweet summertime is here for a little while. It's the perfect time to get up, dust myself off, and start living my life the way I want to live it. 

My new goal is to have my life back on track by fall recruitment. I need to start regimenting my day a little bit better and avoid getting sucked into the lazy days of summer. 

I will have a positive attitude no matter what! :)

Much Needed Retreat

My lovely sisters and I just recently got back from our annual sisterhood retreat. I can honestly say that it was much needed. Sometimes it is important to make sure that everyone is on the same page, especially before summer. I think a lot of girls really needed the bonding experience, and I hope that it really helped out a lot of girls who were still trying to carve out their place in the world that is sorority life.

On a side note, this is something that I realized when I heard people talking about our sorority, among other things:

I think that I am the type of person who glorifies everyone and everything. A lot of times I get very frustrated when people don't get what they are doing wrong. I like to see the best in everyone and in every situation. With something like a sorority, this isn't always a great way to see things. I tend to get angry when people can't follow the rules and be respectful of others. When I find myself doing these things I often times get mad at myself. I guess it's just me trying to be a better person.

Going into summer and fall I am excited to go through my last recruitment with my sisters. It is going to be bittersweet, but I'm ready for the challenge. I'm going into my last year, and in typical "me" fashion, I know that I need to step up my game and be a role model for others. (Once again the in a perfect world side of me is coming out) I'm really excited to go into my final year of college. I know that it is going to be a crazy year, but it's time.

Direction of this Blog

Now...I know not anyone reads this blog, but I've decided to change the direction. It's going to be about...well...whatever the heck I want it to be about. It will still be about sorority life about 99 percent of the time. I know its hard to fathom, but my sorority isn't my WHOLE life. Ha!

Why Can't I Major in my Sorority???

I just got back from my parent's house yesterday after a luxurious and much needed week off from school. Needless to say, it was amazing. The not so amazing part was dealing with the time change and knowing that I will have to get up for school at 6:30.


Today, the last day before school, should have been my day to catch up on school work and prepare myself for a the rest of the week. Yeah. Freaking. Right. I went to a committee meeting, chapter, then onto dance practice for Greek Week. After that, I got home and made about 10 phone calls to various sisters and other Greeks.


As for my homework...well...its mostly done. Granted I didn't have THAT much to do, but I only worked on it for about an hour.


Now I know that I do this to myself. I don't have to volunteer for things or go above and beyond, but quite frankly, I love my sorority a heck of a lot more than I love my America Since 1890 class. 


I know I'm not the only one who wants a BS in Sorority life!!! <3

Shisty B*****

Let me preface by saying...I love all of my sisters. Just because I love them, doesn't mean that I like them or their attitudes. 


One word...FRESHMEN. Now, my grand-little is a freshman and she is precious. Other girls however, get way too caught up in the "Frat Guy" scene. They want to go to every party, talk to every guy, and love the attention they get. Even if it happens to be the wrong kind of attention. This drives me up the wall...especially when a younger girl (or any girl really) wants to flirt with your date. YOUR DATE. 


I know this might seem like a rant, but a big SGP I've seen is girls who put misters before their sisters. It is NOT OK. 


I'm a senior, I want to have fun at events, not get wrapped up in all the drama of dates and everything else. 


On that note...I'm going to take a breather and remember that I am a classy, smart, fun, 21 year old and I need to rise above it. 


PS: Enjoy my leftovers :)

Number One Problem? I Think, Yes!

I am a very busy girl. I take a full load of upper level classes. On top of that I pile on countless hours of homework and papers. Then on top of the school work, I go to: philanthropy events, mixers, socials, date nights, chapter meetings, all sorority meetings, and everything else in between. It's a lot to balance.


One of the things that I've been missing out on since my schedule got so busy is the gym. Now, I'm not one of those girls who hates going to the gym, but if you've been in class for 3 hours, then the library for 5 hours, and you have 2 hours to go get ready for a meeting, the last thing you want to do is go to the gym. Especially when the location of your meeting is right next to a coffee shop and a Chickfila. Needless to say, I've fallen off the wagon a bit. So, I think one of the biggest SGPs is having enough time to do it all...especially going to the gym.


So, I'm challenging myself to go to the gym 6 days a week. Along with that challenge, I am not going to get any more Starbucks or fast food. Ugh, just writing that makes me mad that I even started that bad habit to begin with. But, I suppose there is now where to go but up...or down a pants size or two.


Wish me luck!
