A Letter To My Freshman Year Hall

Came in as strangers, will leave as family.

A Letter To My Freshman Year Hall
Rate My Campus

To the girls on the third floor of WomCom, (including you Yadkin girls).

I want to start off by saying thank you. Thank you to each and every one of you. Thank you for loving me, and supporting me, for crying with me, and laughing with me. Thank you for the random dance parties, and late night conversations. Thank you for being yourselves.

I will never understand why hall living is considered to be such a dread, because it is honestly such a blessing. I will never forget move in day, moving in with a bunch of strangers, and leaving as so much more than just hall mates, but really y’all became family. There were many times during the school year where I just couldn't help but thank the Lord for putting each of you in my life.

All of our unique strengths and personalities shined in the friendships we formed. I cannot help but smile at the random hall homework parties, and the random acts of love we have shown each other throughout the year. I do not feel anything but an overwhelming amount of support and love for my hall galpals. I do not think I could have asked for a better group of girls to have lived with this year at High Point University. We accepted each other, we loved each other, we had a blast with each other and now we will miss each other.




And as we branch off into our separate ways I just want to say two things:

To our amazing, and kind RA-- thank you. Thank you for taking on such a crazy group. Thank you for loving us, thank you for supporting us, and thank you for pushing us to reach our goals. I know it isn't always easy, especially when you have a group like us, but we are really thankful to have you in our lives, and wouldn't want it any other way. We love you, and thank you for loving us.

To my North third floor girls (and Yadkin), next year it will be so different not being able to knock on everyone’s door to celebrate the victories or cry about the not so great parts of college, but that doesn't mean I won’t be continuing to support you guys. I will be cheering for each and every one of you. Whether that means being 500 miles away, or right down the street. I hope you guys play to your strengths. I know each of you bring such unique qualities into this world, and I cannot wait and see how each of you are going to shine. I love you all, and the memories we have shared will forever hold a place in my heart.

So, cheers to my North third floor GalPals (and Yadkin). Thank you for being a crazy fun bunch. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for making my first year living on campus so memorable. I love you all!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
