It is the day all smicks dream of from the time they lay their eyes on someone else's ring. You think the hardest thing is waiting your first two years of school without it, but all smicks soon realize the two year wait was nothing compared to the 10 week period between placing the order and receiving the ring. After going through this experience and making it out alive with a beautiful ring on my right hand I have narrowed the whole process into 15 stages that I think all belles can or will be able to one day relate to.
1. Sophomore year comes to an end and you suddenly remember that you are now "of age" to get your ring in the fall!
2. Returning to campus in the fall and planning out all of the photos you're going to take with your ring, but there is always the one friend who doesn't understand your excitement.
3. When Balfour is finally in the student center!
4. Seeing your bank account plummet after paying for the ring...
5. Wondering why your ring has not arrived two weeks after you ordered it.
6. When all of your friends' rings start coming in and you're trying really hard to be happy for them.
7. When you get the orange slip that says "ring"!
8. When you go the post office but it's still lunch hours.
9. When you are handed your package and the mail lady gives you that look of "You go girl!"
10. When you see your ring for the first time!
11. When you put your ring on for the first time and it fits perfectly!
12. Immediately taking the perfect picture of your ring at the location you planned the first day back in the fall!
13. When you show it off to every person and someone waiting for their ring sees it too.
14. When your forget for a split millisecond that you have your ring and then catch a glimpse during class.
15. When you're out in public and you spot another Smick ring from a mile away...
