1. Join Greek Life. I mean this is an obvious one if you've read any of my last few blog posts. If your school has Greek Life just sign up for recruitment and try it out. Going Greek was easily the best decision I've made since coming to college. I would definitely not have the college experience I do without it; a majority (like 95%) of the people I have met have been through Greek Life. Recruitment looks exhausting, and it is, but in the end you'll realize that you couldn't live without your chapter. And, if you try it and realize it still isn't for you, you can drop and it won't be a big deal (but hopefully you find a chapter that you get to call home). If anyone has any questions about Greek Life, specifically at small schools, don't hesitate to ask me!
We won Greek Week (and it was Harry Potter themed) |
And there's a chance you can rock a onesie like my family if you join Greek Life |
3. Keep a journal. From the first day of college I have kept a journal and I have really enjoyed it. I find physically writing (versus typing) to be very therapeutic and I think it's really interesting to go back and look at how I was feeling/what I was doing two months ago. I don't always write in my journal every night but I try my best to. It's a great place to vent, brainstorm, and just ramble about what is happening in my life. I definitely use this blog as a journal, too, but my physical journal is a lot more personal and reflective. My goal is to fill a journal for each year of college so that when I graduate I can have four separate journals of my time at Drury.
4. Taking classes you have a genuine interest in will make school so much more enjoyable. I'm enrolled in 17 credit hours this semester and it definitely is a lot of work but it is work I'm passionate about. I love my majors and I cannot wait to continue with my classes.
Yay for a beautiful campus that makes walking to class even better. |
Here's a huge throwback photo to my sophomore year of high school. I suggested we go ice skating and then freaked out because I realized I was terrible at it. |
Until next time,
