Open Letter To My Prodi-What?! Family

Prodi-What?!

Honestly, I wasn't going to try out. For some weird reason, I felt intimidated because I had never tried anything like this before. I never stepped a day in my life and felt as though I wouldn't be good enough. The only reason I went for it was because a friend said she'd go with me, I forgot the reason but she ended up not being able to go but I still took my chances. Even in that moment of auditioning I was talking down to myself. I was so out of my comfort zone and felt out of place. Then I got the little paper in my mailbox. I MADE IT!! I was so hype but didn't know what to expect. This was the first step team I had even seen. I still didn't know what I was signing myself up for but if you know me, you know I can't say "no" to a performance.

This past year has been filled with way more than I could ever expect from my first year of college and it's thanks to you guys! I know I've thanked you guys a hundred times over but, you just don't understand what this team has done for me. It's allowed me to expand my performing abilities and pushed me both mentally and physically because it's way more demanding than any other performance I had ever done. From the bonding and laughter to the late night practices and the stressful tech weeks, it was all worth it in the end. Our Step Off, Weihnachten, all the basketball games, our Michael Jackson Tribute, to "Formation" and every performance in between has made coming to Wells an exciting experience. I've become a better performer and made friends with people I didn't think I would. Prodigy is made up of a variety of people from different majors and backgrounds that I don't think I would have ever had the chance to meet otherwise. There were so many great moments with you guys and all the laughter and even some of the crying just makes the team that much stronger. Ask anyone, I represent this team HARD! Always wearing "Prodi-Swag" as a team member called it to always showing and sharing our performances online. I love this team A LOT. I didn't think I'd find something this meaningful so early on into the beginning of my college career.

Not only have you guys become friends, you've become a family to me. Many of you were there for me when I was having an off day. Many of you are still there for me now! Taking me out of practice and talking to me and making me feel comfortable enough to be real with you guys and let you know what was going on. It's such an amazing feel knowing that I have you guys as a support system. Everyone means so much to me and I can't wait to see what the rest of my time at Wells holds with you guys. Thank you for taking me in and helping me become a better person.

Love,
Spice

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
