Going Greek?

I will admit that I have believed the stereotypes about "sorority girls." I always said I'd never be in one or join one because I'm not the "type". However, upon coming to ETSU's campus these women wearing some funky letters have been the most kind to me in my classes. While sitting next to some girls in my choir class, I started asking questions about sorority life. They encouraged me to come to the info meeting. I decided to go, because hey, I have to attend a club meeting for collo anyway. The meting opened my eyes to the academic and philanthropic side of sisterhood and by the time house tours came I was drinking every drop information the sisters would give me. Long story short, I signed up for recruitment this weekend. I am terrified because I am getting out of my comfort zone, but also thrilled to get to know these incredible women this weekend.

Application Reviews

I was so honored to have the opportunity to score 11 MHS applications! I enjoyed reading the essays and reviewing the resumes. I believe the honors college has an amazing group coming through with lots of diversity and incredible background stories. I am so thankful for what MHS has meant to me, and I know these upcoming students are greatly anticipating this incredible opportunity. I spent 2 hours total scoring applications. GOOD LUCK TO THE WINNERS! 14/30 hours

I am 4

I'm a hot mess. ALWAYS. I strive for perfection and never get it right. Im always late, or forgetting something, or bumping my car on curbs. I struggle to balance being the perfect daughter, sister, sister in law, auntie, niece, cousin, coworker, teacher, powerlifter, and friend...and 9/10 I am not even doing one of those roles well. One of my friends (lovingly) pointed out to me that when something is slightly hard or even really tough, my world crumbles. It's been my coping mechanism to react strongly my whole life and only got reinforced by the trauma I've endured. I've believed for so long that I have to react big or pain loses meaning. I need to be more kind and gentle with myself so I can grow and learn to handle situations with more control. I can be in control of my feelings. Through this and reading the book The Road Back to You,  I realized I am a four on the Enneagram. I thought I was a two because I have a helpful nature, then a three because I HATE for peo...

Where Have I Been?

This semester has been extremely stressful. My previous thesis chair has prevented me from going through IRB. So I finally got the courage to change chairs and now that process is under way. As for my service hours...I have worked in kids church 6 hours total and on praise band vocals for 6. I'm pictured below dancing in kids church and I thought people would enjoy this less than glamorous shot! Anyway, my church volunteer work comes to a total of 12/30 hours. I hope to catch up on these collo hours as my stress load eases up.
