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.
