Senior year
I have been in total and complete denial that I am a senior in college. Refusing to even speak the S-word for the first few weeks. Who had the idea to only make college last four years anyway? I feel like I am just getting started. This school year has already been the most amazing year of my life. I have met and became friends with some of the most amazing people and I don't know how I never knew them before. And as I meet new people, go to parties, participate in philanthropy events, I have realized that this is it. This is the last time for so many things that I have come to know and love about college life. I feel like I wasted so much time before and I am ready to make this year count. Today as I put on my Judy pearls for my LAST composite picture, I truly realized that would probably be the last time I ever wore them. And it hit me like a wall of bricks.
So here is to this year, may it be the most fun, most fulfilling, and most amazing year yet! This is it, one more time, the last time for so many things...hopefully :)
Love Always,

The g word
To the Alpha Chi Omega Senior Class of 2012,
I have been trying to think of what I could possibly say to my senior friends who will be moving to the next stage in their lives. Thank you. All of you, for everything these past three years. I cannot imagine my college experience without you. Thank you for teaching me, supporting me, inspiring me, guiding me, listening to me, pushing me, talking to me, showing me, having faith in me, and loving me.
Most people think that the g-word is supposed to be a happy and exciting time. But they don't know our sisterhood. The thought of not having my best friends so close to me is not something I'm happy about. The refusal to use the g-word has helped keep me in denial that I will soon be missing some very special people in my life.
Sharing the past three years with all of you has been more than I could have ever imagined. And as I sit here trying to believe that it is truly over, I am fighting back tears. I love every, single one of you very much. I know that all of you are moving on to bigger and better things and I am so proud of you. But part of me wishes that we could have just a little more time. More time to laugh and stress and party together. I will forever cherish the last three years.
Thank you most of all for showing me what it means to be a part of Alpha Chi Omega. Showing me how to be my best and to expect nothing less than excellence. Showing me how to make the most of Greek Life and teaching me what it means to be a part of something bigger.

Secret of gold
Poetry seems to be the only way I can express myself lately.
The secret from a friends lips is gold
a most treasured gift of truth and trust.
For to give trust is to give a piece of yourself for care and nuture.
Without the ability to share,
an inward turn on oneself.
Take care of friends
and do not dare
to share the secrets
that they bare.
For then you shall earn no greater love than this you've learned.

It has been WAY too long since my last blog. I actually write a lot of halfway finished blogs and never get around to finishing them. But today I saw something that made me want to write. This is for a friend, but also for me.
Blue now, but not forever
love so deep, it feels as pain
abandon you, i will never
For upon you the sorrow reigns.
i know you will find the strength to make this change
for with loss, something inside you, must learn to grieve
and without the comfort of his life you feel strange
hearing it, is hard to even think, imagine, or believe.
The pain in life can tear you down
and you can let it, just for now.
But then you'll know to turn around
determine to smile and to allow...
the feeling of loss, turned to celebration
that time spent was precious, yes
Changed forever you will find integration
into your life, and then progress.
to loving deeper because you know
the gift of life will never show
how much it cost to lose a friend
and to say goodbye in the end
you're forever changed and missing
a piece of you and you're wishing
for one last talk or hug or smile
but the time you had was-most of all-worthwhile.
I will always, be here for you
because without you who would i be?
i know you're strong, even with the Blue
the greatest friend you've been to me
even though your color's off a hue
that's okay, I still love you!
