Homecoming week sure is a time to be alive. You are always on the go, never a moment to stop and think. However, it may have been the most memorable experience you've had at Alabama yet. Here are five feelings you experienced during this rollercoaster of a week:
1. You felt your thumbs slowly deteriorating.

Yes, that's right, deteriorating. You spent countless hours rolling sheets of tissue into little balls known as "pomps." You may or may not have accidentally started pomping a straw wrapper in a restaurant because of muscle memory... After you and your sorority have made a few thousand of these, you glue them onto a sketch revealing a beautiful mosaic that looks something like this:
2. Your competitive edge went from 0 to 100, real quick.

You were at your sorority's sporting events screaming until you lost your voice. No ticket? No problem. Watching and cheering through the windows is just as effective... right? Every night you and your friends' faces were painted with glitter and your greek letters. You wore your jersey with pride and sweated whether you were playing or cheering. You may or may not have developed blisters on your index fingers from your shaker... You tried using colored hair spray and it wouldn't wash out. That is the definition of dedication, ladies. This was war.
3. You are sick of seeing boys in the sorority house.

Even though they were there to help with the week, you were sick of them. You wanted to walk into the house and see all your friends, not all of these cute boys. In the morning, all you wanted to do was walk into the house dressed in your pajamas, eat some Lucky Charms, and not see the male species before the hour of 10 AM. It was too much testosterone.
4. Before that week, you didn’t know the definition of tired.

Between all of these events and your studies, there was no way you got the recommended 8 hours of rest. It was seven days full of blood, sweat, tears, and coffee.
5. You love your sorority and the University of Alabama with all your heart

All of your decisions have pointed you in the right direction. This week was tough, to say the least, but it was so rewarding. You bonded with your pledge sisters and discovered what the hype about being in a sorority is. You now know that you're exactly where you're supposed to be. In addition, you realized your school is the best one out there. Roll Tide.
