Friday Night
Hey,
It’s Laura here, and I know Ashley and Stacy haven’t posted their little intros but I couldn’t wait to post again. I’m sitting in Sonias’ room after we had a great night out with the sororirity we’re both rushing, Sigma Delta Tau. I never thought I’d be the type of girl to rush for a sorority but here I am in the midst of it. And I’m really enjoying it too.
These girls really know how to live life successfully. They know how to go out and enjoy themselves while remaining smart college girls. And I cannot possibly stress how sweet they are.
Sonia and I went to their informational and then were convinced to hang out at their sister social for a little bit. We played some card games, laughed, danced, and overall had a good time, despite how tired we were.
See, the reason why I never thought I’d join a sorority is because growing up, I was never the girl to be expected to. I was somewhat of a misift, caking on make-up until I was ghostly white and had ‘raccoon eyes.’ My favorite band was, and still to this day is My Chemical Romance. Who, in the past haven’t gotten a nice rep from the media and other non-fans.
So you can see I was a little bit out there. But I always sought refuge in activities like twirling (which I was Captain my senior year), and also volleyball (which I played from sixth grade to 11th grade).
Mostly though, I found refuge in words. Words always come out right for some reason. I was never one to be able to talk eloquently and hold a decent conversation. I’d always come out awkward and shy. However, when writing, I feel as if the impossible is possible. Cheesy, I know, but you’ll learn to love my positive outlook on life hopefully as much as I do.
Since this post is getting a little out of hand I will wrap it up. I’m learning so much at college that I can’t even begin to explain how much I enjoy it. I love learning, even if it is tangible learning. Sometimes when you’re lost you find your way in the most unexpected of places, and I found my way through New Paltz. <3
xoxoLaura
