It is a weird thing when something you have anticipated for so long happens. I guess this has happened to me a lot recently with college and certain events over my extended winter break, but especially last week and Sunday. Anticipation is a very funny thing. It can either make something amazing because all the nervous energy you are feeling explodes or it can create "The Brokeback effect" as I call it. When someone has told you so much about how amaing something is going to be and then when it happens you're ready for this life changing thing and... oh... its whatever. Thats what happened to me with Brokeback Mountain. But that is NOT what is happeneing to me now and last week and last sunday because I am now a pledge in the Epsilon Chi chapter of Alpha Omicron Pi at Elon University and couldn't be happier.

Do you ever do something and it just clicks, or talk to someone and know that very moment that you could be best friends with them? Well, that is what I experienced last week when I first entered the AOII house. I have been dreaming of joining a sorority for as long as I can remember and even the first few days have surpassed all of my expectations. There is really no way to describe how much I love walking around campus with my I <3 AOII pin.

But anticipation has been a major feeling I've had in the past couple of months and finally I'm not anticipating anything because everything has happened. Be it a good or a bad thing I'm really glad that I've gotten back into my habit of following my gut becuase life got a little boring and now its returning to form. Being home was so good for me. It was the exact refreshing feeling I needed to give me a jump start for second semester.
