Bid day is the day. It’s a time of a whirlwind of emotions. It’s the day you can finally say you found your home. There’s no better feeling than running into the arms of your newly found sisters and to have girls who are obsessed with them just as much as you are right by your side. It’s the beginning of something that’s not just four years — it’s for life. Here are just a few thoughts that go through your mind as you wait to see what fate has in store for you.
1. I think I’m going to vomit.
The anxiety is so real right now.
2. So this is what it’s like to hold your life in your hands.
Who knew a tiny white envelope could mean so much?
3. OK, maybe I’m being slightly dramatic.
After all, it is just a piece of paper.
4. Nope. Definitely not.
Scratch that. It is the piece of paper.
5. I really hope that one girl I talked to on that one day remembers me and loves me as much as I loved her.
You're destined to be sisters.
6. What pose am I going to do for my Insta?
Yes, it's important.
7. More importantly, what caption?
This only comes around once a year, people.
8. Is it acceptable to throw glitter?
Who am I kidding? Glitter is life.
9. When you finally open your bid and it’s everything you ever wanted and more.
Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!! (There’s no better explanation.)
10. This is better than Christmas morning.
Who needs Santa? (Totally kidding — Santa is my right hand.)
11. Why isn’t Bid Day a national holiday?
The world would be a better place.
12. Big?
I know you’re here somewhere.
13. This must be what it feels like to win the lottery.
Of course, it’d be nice to have the winning ticket, too.
14. So. Many. Hugs.
There’s so much love that the love has love, and I love it.15. 'Cause we are sisters, we stand together.
I guess this is what it’s like to finally find your home.
