Well hey hey everyone! This week I decided to write about an issue that may be sensitive to a number of you and that is...having a rush crush. Wow, right? It's perfectly natural to have these feelings, don't be ashamed! And whether we admit it or not, every sorority girl has experienced the excitement, butterflies, and straight-up territorial behavior that comes along with having a rush crush.
It all begins and ends within a matter of minutes. Do not be alarmed if you find yourself wondering if this is what love at first sight feels like--because it most likely is. It all starts when you first sit down with this young, bright-eyed, and bushy-tailed Potential New Member. You begin to believe that maybe this could be her! This could be the one you have been waiting for. You skip over all the surface level conversation and begin to dig a little deeper, you know, to the conversation that really matters. For example, "If you were a food, what food would you be?" Really deep stuff--tears could be involved.
Alright, ladies. It's official. You have a RUSH CRUSH. You might as well change your FaceBook relationship status right this second because you are no longer alone! Around this time, feelings of obsession may occur. You begin to look for her at every social. If she's talking to one of your sisters (or anyone who isn't you) you become overwhelmed with feelings that can only be described as Edward Cullen's obsessive protectiveness over Bella--this is natural right?
So by now you are official--at least in your mind. You start to take things into your own hands a.k.a. obsessively texting all of your sisters about this magical specimen of a human that you are smitten with and proactively keeping yourself updated with her social media accounts. It's not stalking, until you accidentally like one of her Instagrams from two months ago. She won't notice, right? Smooth move.
BUT WAIT! You didn't ruin possibly the best relationship your life has yet to see! Not only do you get to see her again but you also get to pick her up at the door and hopefully convince her to stay with you and your sisters forever and ever...and ever. But then you get a little nervous. "Wow, do I go hug her? Would the freak her out?" Basically, in a nutshell...
Okay, okay don't pass out. The bid list is coming and you are about to get the biggest news of your whole entire LIFE! What if you just totally creeped this girl out during recruitment? What if she didn't feel the same way that you do? EMOTIONS ARE RUNNING WILD RIGHT NOW PEOPLE. Hey, but wait. Did they just say her name? They did, right? You didn't just make this up in your head. ALL of your wildest dreams are coming true!
Wow could life be any better right now? Nope, probably not. HAH and then she finally runs into your open arms and you just know that all the craziness of work week, exhaustion from recruitment, and the emotional rollercoaster you just went through was totally worth it to welcome this little babe home.
Too much? Nah.
