How Will I Find A Little As Perfect As My Big

It's Like "The Bachelorette" for Sorority Girls

How Will I Find A Little As Perfect As My Big

So the reason it’s terrifying, first of all, is that there is about 1,800 PNMs (potential new members) coming through our floor at the beginning of recruitment. Literally SO overwhelming.

Anyway.

My big and I are literally a match made in heaven. Like the ones you see on pinterest and you’re like GOALS.

No, seriously, it was love at first Bid Day.

Bid Day 2015: I saw Alpha Delta Pi on my card sitting in Alumni Hall and proceeded to let out that high pitched squeal that every other girl did. I honestly doubt there was anyone at Penn State that didn’t hear it.

We then all DEAD SPRINTED to Old Main lawn to find our new homes.

I saw those glorious, perfect letters, bobbing across the top of a sea of sorority girls and half sprinted, half skipped (literally idk) over to my new family.

Actual panic—I couldn’t find my name, like anywhere. So. Many. Girls. So. Many. Names. OMG THERE IT IS. The girl holding my diamond (pause, hair flip) picked me up and swung me in a circle, like chick flick romance movie style. She literally wouldn’t stop hugging me and laughing and being so genuinely excited, I don’t think I’ve ever felt more at home.

So fast forward through endless coffee, gossip girl and Chinese food dates we are literally inseparable. Like I went to see my southern belle in Nashville over spring break because it too long being apart.

So basically I'm wondering how on EARTH am I going to find a little that fits perfectly into the fam?? Are my expectations too high? Am I going to get along with her like I do with my ~flawless~ big? Are we going to be just another okay pairing?

Like I said, terrifying but also exciting because literally any of those 1,800 girls could be the one.

Being a Jersey Girl to the core, it doesn’t make sense that my person is a sweet southern belle but somehow it works perfectly and we’re like Blair and Serena. (But without the high-stakes drama). So if that combination works, I’ll find someone, right?? Right??

It’s like serious girl dating. I feel like a bachelorette.

The worst part is that I just have to wait through the excruciatingly long recruitment process (it’s literally only 10 days) to see if fate blessed me with the perfect little like I was blessed with the perfect big. So we'll see if a fantastic potential little graces me with her presence, and I'll try not to get my heart broken too many times in the recruitment process.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
