Moving On

About three weeks ago I got a phone call from my best friend that her and her boyfriend of three years had broken up. Leah is definately a fighter for what she wants I've seen her cry, laugh, and get pissed about numerous things in the past few weeks. I love my friends and I just want them all to be happy but when she asked me how I got over the boy I loved for a year I wasn't sure how to respond because you can never truly get over your first love. Your first love is like that constant in your life that you never want to leave, the whisper in the wind when you know you're all alone, the hands that hold you tight when the rest of the world shuts you out, and the person that you couldn't imagine your life without. Sometimes I look back on my relationship and wonder if I really was in love or if I just loved everything about him. I loved his smile, the way he made me feel, the way he told me everything would be ok, but was I really in love with our relationship and him? I don't think I ever truly was in love with him. He was my everything and more but did I want to spend the rest of my life with him, probably not because I wasn't crazy about fighting everyday or going a few days without speaking to each other. That isn't how a relationship works. It takes two people, two hearts, and two souls to over come everything in a relationship. You have to have full trust in a person and to know that they trust you just as much. Relationships are hard these days and people don't have enough respect for each other. More marriages fall apart than ever before and more people lie to their spouse now than past times. Your significant other is supposed to be the person you go to for everything, your best friend, and your soul mate so if you can't trust that person then why be with them in the first place.

Sigma Pi Anti-Formal

Oh what a wonderful weekend that was. First of all I love all the Sigma Pi boys! They are all amazing guys. I'm probably a little partial to them just because I am dating one of them, Travis. Anti-formal? What a strange thing! Well to be honest it was one of the greatest weekends of my life. I had a blast! We all drove up on Friday afternoon. Travis drove my jeep and we got to have a nice little ride together just the two of us, the road, and the radio. I loved every second of it. There were some major storms coming in so at first we weren't sure if we would even be able to go but we managed to miss the storms perfectly and just got a little rain on the way there and right as we got there. Friday night we set up camp and had a little fun just hanging out and cooking hot dogs around the fire. Saturday morning we got up to some slightly chilly weather but all was well. We drove first to Ponca to get out canoes then we set off on an adventure. We put in and there was no looking back. TWe had a nice little group right as we started off that tried to stay together. It was myself and Travis in one canoe and Becky and Bill in the other canoe. We were qute a matchup. After tipping the canoe several times & many bruises later we finally made it to Kyle's Landing which was were our takeout was. Saturday night we drove past Jasper to eat at The Hub which had amazing food! Then we went back to camp and just sat around the camp fire and talked about the day. Life is good when you have good friends, a camp fire, and a body of water close by. I loved anti-formal 2010 and hopefully we will have another float trip really soon.

Rho Sigma

I've been chosen as a Rho Sigma for Fall 2010 Sorority Recruitment. We have had several trainings already and they have all been very beneficial to me. A Rho Sigma must partially disafiliate from their chapter throughout the duration of summer & during fall recruitment. Being a Rho Sigma means being friends with the girls going through recruitment. We are disafiliated so that it doesn't matter what chapter we are in it is what that particular girl feels fits her best. We don't want any girl to choose a chapter if she doesn't feel like she fully fits in with that chapter. When I went through fall recruitment I was very torn betweeen chapters after the first round of recruitment and even though I knew what chapters both of my Rho Sigmas were in I did not let it affect my decision to go Delta Zeta. Delta Zeta is where my heart was the entire time of recruitment and even though I never really knew if I had gotten into Delta Zeta up until Bid Day I had already felt a strong connection with the girls I now call my sisters. I am so pumped for Fall 2010 Recruitment and can't wait to have new sisters!!

GRΣΣK WΣΣK 2010

Greek Week 2010 started this past Sunday with Wacky Games and Intramural Flag Football. Delta Zeta did an amazing job in all the wacky games. We got first in the Flag Football. Good job to the ladies of Zeta Tau Alpha and Phi Mu. Everyone is doing an amazing job. Monday night was step show! The men of Alpha Phi Alpha and Alpha Tau Omega really stepped it up this year winning the fraternity division of Step Show. The ladies of Phi Mu took first place in the sorority division with the rockin' little show of Kopz & Konvictz!! It looked amazing! Zeta Tau Alpha took first place over all. Congrats to all the winners. Everyone else did an amazing job as well. Tuesday was intramural basketball. The ladies of Delta Zeta took home the gold with a win over Zeta Tau Alpha. Good job ladies. I love me some DZ! The men of Sigma Pi won overall for the fraternaties. Good job Sigma Pi. Wednesday was Badge wear and I absolutely loved seeing all the Greeks around campus wearing their amazing badge wear all day! Good luck the rest of the week to all of the greeks!!

Life Lately......

Tons of things have been going on in my life lately. First of all I am the new Vice-President for the Arkansas Tech PRSSA Chapter. Congrats to the other new officers as well it is going to be an amazing year!
The weather is warm and I am so ready for the lake. Summer is my favorite time of the year and the more I'm outside walking around campus or taking a jog the more I want to be on the boat on the lake just floating along and enjoying life. My family goes to the lake at all different time throughout the summer. Spending time with my family is a very big deal to me so I love just escaping to the lake and getting to relax. If I could actually be away from my phone for more than an hour I would probably relax a little more.
Its already time to start making schedules for the fall. Its stressful but at the sametime I am so ready for a little change in pace. I found out I will be living in South Hall again! This is pretty exciting for all of you that don't know South Hall is pretty much THE place to be these days. I'll be living with my best friend and sister Paige. Fall 2010 is going to be a great semester I got all of the classes I wanted and I can't wait for fall recruitment to start!
