i couldn’t be any more in tune with my sorority’s open motto: we live for each other. 

funny how some things in life turn out. never thought i’d be in a sorority, never thought i’d love it as much as i do and care so passionately for it. here’s to another great year with sisters that i never thought i’d have.

something really cool happened today.

well background info: i love social media. i love the power it gives people, the confidence it instills in us, the endless possibilities it withholds for empowering others to move and act in new and ambitious ways. anyway, i get this strange irk that social media is going to be apart of my future (at least for some of it). 

which kind of explains why i even have this tumblr. 2 years ago, i probably would’ve resorted to writing my thoughts in a journal. but now, we’ve got tumblr - and i can blog text, photos, videos, songs, reposts and who knows what else.

so then i started tweeting like crazzzy - i’ve got my personal account, and then i manage one for the progressive student club I started at school, one for an upcoming delaware politician, a secret one that i can’t share with you, and then one for my sorority (ADPI BABY). 

on top of these twitter accounts, they all have companion facebook accounts that i oversee as well. anyway, long story short - i love this shit. and tonight at school there was the YoUDee Leadership awards, and ADPi won Outstanding Greek Social Media!!

(we also won 4 other awards, including Chapter of the Year! and Deltronica [an AWESOME electronic music club that my best friend started] won best new event for Bass Campus!!!….very very exciting news! but irrelevant to my point…) 

1. I didn’t even know we were up for this award.

2. My lovely friend liiiirwin shared this news with me when she found out and it really put a smile on my face :)

i dont share this story as an attempt to brag about myself. i share it because tonight was a very humbling and joyful moment. everything came full circle - i followed my instinct to really start mastering social media, i put myself out there in so many different ways,  and BOOM - somebody recognized me for it. this just puts a smile on my face because i believe that tonight was a sign that i’m finally headed in the right direction, and that i gotta keep pursuing this dream of mine…i think it’s gonna take me places.

i believe in soulmates. some couples that are soulmates may not be the people you like to surround yourself with all of the time, but in their eyes - they are perfect. 

how do you explain couples who have been together for 25, 30, even 50+ years? i’ve always wondered how they stay together after so many years. not that i think people need to/should cheat on each other and can’t manage staying with one person…because i don’t. but it’s interesting to think that one person can be your best friend until the end of time. one person can keep you entertained for years and years. that you can grow up and grow old with that same person, and no matter who you are or who you become, they will always still be around.

we are all capable of finding our soulmates - but we are only going to find them if we put ourselves in our destined environment. if we are in our form of ecstasy with them, then they will never stop feeling good. you will always be soulmates.

i’ve always wondered why i can’t focus on my work when i’m at the silent. stuffy. and cold library. 

then yesterday i had an instinct to do my work at panera over dinner before my greek week mixer. i haven’t done that since october so i’m not sure what made me think to do this - but THANK GOD I DID.

thank you panera - thank you for your cozy (but slightly noisy) environment because i finally found a place where I can focus and do my work!! (such a nerd right now) but seriously, what a great feeling it is to be able to get all of my work done in half the amount of time it would’ve taken me at the lib.

also, i didn’t bring my phone with me when i was in panera. and the only things i missed out on were 13 texts and 2 emails. honestly, i don’t really care. im willing to sacrifice my phone for a few hours if its allows me to be more calm and sane. 

new realizations will come when we least expect them too. always keeping my eyes, ears and mind open to new ways of living and breathing in this chaotic part of my life that i call college. 

there’s always hope - even when we least expect it. always hope.
