School vs. Summer

Me During School: 

            

I have to admit, being a full time student (working toward two, separate majors and two minors) and working full time (which involves up to 25 hours a week) can be a little stressful. It’s times like these that I wish that it were summer again. During the summer, I keep my on campus job. This doesn’t usually entail much during the summer because there are less people on campus. This means I get to get back to photography, reading, editing and blogging much more.

Me During Summer: 

            School time on the other hand, is a lot more complicated. I usually take at least 17 hours of classes, next semester I’m looking at 19, which isn’t too bad. Until you factor in work, and sorority things and time spent doing homework and studying. Don’t get me wrong, if I didn’t take a lot of hours I would be bored a lot of the time and not really push myself. The more hours I take, the harder I work. I am so backwards.

Even in pictures you can tell just how much more relaxed I am. 

            Anyways, point being. I want summer back. Pretty please? 

This Past Weekend...

This past weekend was Kappa Alpha Theta's formal, which is basically when the new members of the sorority are presented into the community, aka our family and friends. Honestly, I had a blast (as did boyfriend! Which was an amazing shock to me). Boyfriend isn't exactly a fan of the whole sorority thing, but he set everything aside for the night and had an amazing time. 

It seems as if the majority of pictures from formal I'm either laughing, or smiling really big. 

Oh by the way, I'm blondish again! (See far right)

Abbs, the girl on the left, and I have been friends since fourth grade. She's truly one of my best friends. Sam, the girl on the right, is one of my newer friends. They're both beautiful

My Dad, looking all snazzy and such!

Dad and Boyfriend. So silly.

Myself, Abby and Samantha

As I said, laughing a lot; we messed up the Theta Kite, but nobody really noticed.

One of my favorite pictures; two of my very best frineds

And again, pretty dresses.

And last but not least, my absolute favorite picture from the night. 

I'm sad that I don't have any with my mom on my computer, but hopefully I'll get them soon! 

Just thought I should share a few pictures. I'm still happy from this weekend. 

Music of the Moment

There are no words to describe just how much I love this song.

Dress Check...1,2...

So, in a previous post I mentioned that after SRW I had to go to Dress Check. This is exactly what it sounds like. During Rush, each round we have to wear a different outfit. This entails everything from blue dresses, nude closed toed pumps, black closed toed pumps, black and white patterned dresses, lbd's, and even tennis skorts. Almost all of my outfits for rush got approved except my black dress, which was too big for me. I knew this going into it though, I had lost a lot of weight since the last time I wore it. I really didn't expect to get it approved so it's okay. Now I just have to go hunt for a new LBD, that fits properly. 

Here's just a few examples of the attire that we have to wear: 

I have everything, except my LBD. Must find one soon! 

Greek Speak: SRW

I know when dealing with my family, friends and boyfriends if I say an abbreviation that has to deal with Theta, nobody understands. So, as I mentioned last post I went to this meeting basically called SRW. What SRW stands for is Spring Recruitment Workshop. What happens here is basically a slight 4 hour look into what my August is going to look like.

What Spring Rush Workshop entails: a slight look into what I'll be doing 8 hours a day for a little over 2 weeks. The first week will be Fall Rush Workshop. This will entail screaming songs at the top of my lungs, learning ritual songs, and learning how to rush to get an amazing group of girls next semester. As exhausting as just the few hours of SRW was, I'm slightly nervous to see how FRW is going to go.

After we go through FRW, we'll be thrown into rushing girls. I'm so nervous yet so excited at the same time. I'm glad that I'll be on the other side of rush this year though. Last years rush was so intense. We battled the heat and the crazy thunderstorms to get where we are today.
