An Open Letter To Albirght's Orinitation Group 1
John Pankratz

This past week, I have had the honor, pleasure, and privlage to be a P.O.P. of my college’s Welcome Weekend. I know what you’re thinking… What in the Lord’s name is a P.O.P. Well, its an acronym for the title Peer Orientation Person. In short, I was an orientation leader. Now this experience was none like no other. I had the time of my life. I enjoyed it even more than I enjoyed orientation when I was a freshman – which I thought was almost impossible. I couldn’t have had the great experience that I did if it wasn’t for the amazing groupies that I had so this … is for you.

To Group 1,

This past week has been absolutely perfect. From theme reveal, to move in day, to the final meal, I have never felt like I was unable to be myself because this group of people was always just so perfect. I can’t tell you how much you have all impacted me in this short time but well, I’m sure as hell gonna try.

You guys are absolutely wonderful. You have been the light of my days (granted it was all of my days but you know what I meant). Seeing you guys let loose and begin to grow and enjoy your time with us as a group made me smile from ear to ear. I can tell you enough how proud and happy I am that you all not only showed up (because that can be hard to achieve sometimes) but you all participated, listened attentively, and were constantly respectful to whoever was presenting. It's as if I was a mom watching over her lil babies and you guys were my lil babies. You made me proud to be my P.O.P. and hope that you are proud to be my groupies.

Our group kicked butt no matter what we did and even though you guys were a tad uncomfortable at first, you eventually were okay with the fact that we were constantly hip thrusting in front of large groups of people. I want you guys to remember that no matter where you go and what you do, there is always someone doing the same thing somewhere so just go for it and live your life. I know it can be hard to just say forget the haters at all times because well, were human, but if you remember anything I have told you this week, I ask that you remember this. No matter what anyone says or what anyone thinks, you are beautiful and you are wonderful and you are uniquely you and that is all that matters.

You guys have given me a new perspective on things which is so weird because I have only known you for less than a week at this point. You are my groupies and I will always be your P.O.P. I will always be here for you whenever you may need or want to talk or just mess around and have some fun. Thank you for being the best groupies that I could have asked for. I hope that your next four years at Albright are great ones.

Love,

K-Dog the illest P.O.P. eva

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.
