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

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
