The Days Following Bid Day As Told By A Recruiter

Ahh, the glorious and so longly awaited day of every PNMs wishes: bid day. All the grueling work during recruitment is over and they can finally run home to the women they now get to call sisters. However, while the days following bid day are extremely exciting, they are entirely different from a recruiter's perspective.

1. Sleep, Sleep, Sleep

After the two weeks of spirit week and recruitment, a recruiter has probably been averaging about five hours of sleep a night. We are so physically and emotionally exhausted that we may even decide to never get back out of bed.

2. Food

Having been practically locked in our sorority house and devouring whatever was provided, we now have the luxury to go out to our favorite restaurants and eat all we want.

3. No Makeup

Wearing tons of makeup every single day of recruitment, and practically all day, takes a major toll on anyone's skin. We can finally wash it all off and bask in the happiness of being able to rub our eyes without a complete mess. We go from looking like flawless robots to literal trolls. We no longer try to impress.

4. Continue unpacking from two weeks ago

Even though we have already moved into our place, all of our stuff is most likely still in boxes. We spend long days and nights in the sorority house and by the time we get home we are way to exhausted to even think about unpacking. Living out of a suitcase becomes a major reality.

5. The sudden realization that classes start

Now that we are officially completely exhausted and depleted of any energy, we have the impending doom of actually having to get up for classes and looming tests in the not-so-distant future.

But it's okay, because we wouldn't have it any other way. We are enjoying some of the best years of our lives.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
