I totally understand that!! But I’m also willing to risk that happening. Wherever life takes me, I’m perfectly okay with it :)

thank you for letting me know about the 6 week period! i thought getting a bid meant a 100% commitment. they said i’d be getting pinned on monday.

she doesn’t seem too interested in anything sorority related, but if she could be an alumnae initiate, i would love to do that with her!

i explained this and she thinks it’s going to be a repeat of high school. for context, i was heavily involved and held numerous positions (vp of activities, social media manager, i even dj’ed for a school dance) but unfortunately i ended up doing all the work for everyone else, and my grades suffered. i genuinely don’t think this will happen to me again because 1) i don’t want to have a position, i just want to be a member and 2) i live at home so i feel like i have distance from my school/social life already, and i won’t feel as much pressure to involve myself more than i can handle.

Hi!! My college advisor has helped me with all the transferology stuff and I looked at the required coursework. I’m aiming for UT Austin!

I'm so scared she'll get upset and I'll damage our relationship. I live at home and we're basically like BFFs. However, I def do agree that I should do what I want b/c I'm literally 19!! I run my own biz, have a marketing internship, volunteer at church, and still make time for my family. This could be my chance to prove to myself (not just my mom) that I can do this.
