Joining a Sorority

I never thought I'd be a girl who joined a sorority. And when I say that I really mean it. All through high school I said I was never going to rush, and when I first got to college I didn't. Even this semester i had no intition of going through winter recruitment. Yet hear I am. A sorority girl.

This is what happened:

                        I was in class one day and the girl nest to me was on facebook. She had a picture up from her sorority and I commented on how it was a cute picture. Her response was, &OMG REALLY?!?! You want to take cute pictures too?!?! You want to be a Theta?!?! You should come to crafting tonight!!!& Next thing I know she's signing my up for crafting and telling me how much fun it will be and that we are making mugs. I got back to my dorm room and told my roommate hoping she would tell me that I shouldn't go. Instead she incouraged me to do it saying it would be a good way to meet more friends and get out of our dorm room.

                        So I went to crafting. And it wasn't terrible. It was actually kinda fun even though I'm terrible at crafting. My mug turned out looking like this: 

                        While crafting people kept asking me if I was coming tomorrow. I just nodded and said &Yeah I think so!& but honestly I had no idea what tomorrow was. As we were leaving the girl who brought me said that I was coming to the party tomorrow and it was cocktail attire. Great now I have to get a dress. I got a dress, I went, I had a blast. Turns out that was technically pref night and the next day I got an email inviting me to Bid Day on Sunday. Let's insert a note here that my mom was a Theta so the second I decided to go to crafting I called her up and asked her what she thought about me joining and she was very suportive. So I called her and told her that I was going to go to Bid Day to accept my bid. Honestly, I'm still glad I went.

                         Bid Day was an experience like no other. It was a blast, I got to take cute pictures with my new sisters kiting and making those hand symbols that no one else knows how to do. I made a frame that turned out horrible but who cares! I got my first Theta t-shirt and a tote bag of Theta goodies. 

Anyways now I'm going into my last week of being a new member. On Sunday I find out my BIG and next Thursday I get initiated. I'm honestly so happy. I love all the girls I've met, I've gone to my first event and had a blast, and I am really excited to become more involved in Theta. 

TLAM!!

Review: Plant Nanny App

We all know that its important to stay hydrated and drink plenty of water. But drinking enough water isn't the easiest thing to do. As a college student I have many things to do each day and, lets face it, drinking water isn't normally a priority. Plant Nanny is an app that helps you drink plenty of water each day while being fun!

It honestly sounds like a stupid app, and when my friends told me about it I thought they were crazy. However, once you get started it's easy to get really into it. I can't count the amount of times I've told my friends, "I have to water my plant!!" and then proceded to drink water in order to do so.

I just finished growing my first plant, Devil's Ivy, and I'm starting my second one, Dandelion. You have the option to name your plants, but I just stuck with their plant name.

This app lets you know the amount of water you should drink every day based on your weight, hight, and activity level. Your plant starts out as a bud and every time you level up it grows a bit more. You level up by drinking aa certain amount of water. Once your plant is gorwn up you move it outside to the garden and start a new plant. The plants outside grow seeds and with the seeds you can buy things such as different plants, backgrounds, and pots for your plant.

Some health benefits of drinking water:

• Energizes Muscles 
• Keeps skin looking good
• Helps your kidneys function
• Helps you stay focused

Stay hydrated!!
