So if you haven't taken notice to the new name, allow me to introduce it! This is the third chapter of this blog and man has it evolved! I decided to title this one "Graduate Confidential" ( I felt "Give me a job PLEASE" was a little too in your face...haha) and I'm excited to share this time that I'm in limbo with you all.
I'm praying that this blog chapter doesn't last long and that it turns into something more along the lines of "Employed". But until that day happens, I'm excited to write under this title.
I've been officially an alum for 8 days now and I when I was back at Auburn last week for my goodbye visit I definitely got a reality check. I wanted to go back to say goodbye to all my friends but more specifically my sorority sisters. For those who don't know, I'm a proud sister of Kappa Alpha Theta and the years I got to spend in it where the best two years of my college career.
Last week was rush week (or now the politically correct name-Recruitment) and it was extremely hard to see all my friends fb statuses about all being in the chapter room and all that jazz. Walking into the chapter room after Prefs were over was like a huge slap in the face. All my sisters were sitting there in beautiful black dresses and I was an outsider. I no longer felt like I belonged there. I felt old. Haha.
I'm so incredibly glad that I got the chance to stay for Bid Day and meet as many baby Theta's as I possibly could. Until 10am on Saturday I could name every single person in my chapter and now there are 75 beautiful new little kites that I will never have the opportunity to get to know.
Words don't even describe how proud I am of my Gamma Omega girls and all the hard work they have put in to getting a new pledge class. Congratulations girls!
It was sad leaving Auburn on Saturday afternoon but I'm very proud of myself for the small amount of tears shed. I know I'll go back to visit soon but right now I need to stay away so that I can actually transition out of being a college student.
I'm still emailing/researching firms every day and it's getting harder and harder to open my gmail to an empty inbox. This will not get me down though! I will find a job and I will move to NYC!
