A Letter To My Sorority Sisters After Recruitment

I have learned so much and gained so much from my time with my sisters and this is what I want to say to them.

A Letter To My Sorority Sisters After Recruitment
Skyler Anderson

Dear Sisters,

Thank you for everything.

I want to start off by saying that I was nervous for the two weeks that consisted of spirit week and recruitment. I will be honest and say that during the year that I have been a part of this sisterhood, I wasn't always the most involved and didn't have a ton of connections to sisters within the chapter. Part of this was time constraints with other things in my life and the other part was my fear of rejection. So needless to say, I was nervous about spending two weeks with everyone when I felt that I didn't have the same strong bonds that everyone else had.

Thanks to each and every one of you, I had no reason to be nervous. I was welcomed into people's conversations and circles with open arms. The past two weeks showed me how lucky I am to be in this circle of sisterhood. Thank you to the sisters that were always down to ride with me to the events and stay by my side so I didn't feel alone. Thank you to the sisters that came up to me just to say hi or to talk about outfits. Thank you to the sisters that said insanely kind words for my senior appreciation, I truly had no idea that I had made an impression on so many of you. Thank you to the sisters that showed their appreciation and love for me in other ways, such as shout-outs in speeches, asking me to do things, and just coming up and telling me you love me. I always knew that this sisterhood was right for me, I just didn't know how, a year later and I am starting to figure it out. Thank you for showing me love, building my confidence, and allowing me to be me. There are so many more words I can say, but for now, we will leave it as this simple thank you and save the rest for when I have to leave you all for the real world.

Love, Skyler

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.
