Home Away From Home

Recently, I have gone through Recruitment. I rushed to find my "home away from home." Sigma Kappa is my forever home. I am so happy and thrilled that I will have those girls by my side throughout the rest of my collegiate career.

I am a sophomore. I did not rush during my freshman year because I wanted to take the time to focus on my academics. I wanted to basically plant my feet first and I have been successful with that, so I thought it would be the right time to join one of the three great Sororities on my campus. When going through Recruitment, I had a tough time deciding on the second night. And on the third night? I knew exactly where I belonged: Sigma Kappa.

I found my forever home at Sigma Kappa. I cannot think of anywhere I would rather be. I honestly feel at home when I am with my sisters. I feel like I belong somewhere. I know that those girls will be here for me when I need them. For these reasons, I knew I needed to be apart of the Sigma Kappa family.

Not only do I have my sisters, but I have had my best friend by my side the whole time. I have friends in each of the sororities, so I went into the houses clear and open minded. I wanted to find the place that I belonged. My heart sister is my best friend, Haley. She has been here for me since the beginning of freshman year and I do not know where I would be without this girl. She has literally been my rock through everything. When I ran home to Sigma Kappa, she was the one I ran too and of course, we hugged and we both started to cry.

This was the moment I knew for sure that I made the right decision. I have the best Heart Sister anyone could ask for (and best friend). I have amazing sisters. I have a support system. I have a place to call home. I have a place where I can be myself and no one will judge me. I appreciate being accepted into Sigma Kappa.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
