It is hard to believe that I have only been back in class for a couple weeks! I got right back into the swing of things as though winter break was nothing but a far off dream. My new classes continue to be challenging, with quite a bit more work than I had last semester. On top of that, I am even busier with all my new Kappa commitments. Thankfully, I enjoy being busy! Where do I begin???
On Wednesday, I went out to dinner with my first Sapphire Sis, Liz. A Sapphire Sis is Kappa-speak for a sophomore girl who takes you out to lunch/froyo/dinner/something fun in order to get to know each other and find your potential Big Sis in the sorority! We ate at a little hole-in-the-wall Mexican food place called J.V's. I had the BEST burrito! It was the size of a small child, but cheap and delicious. On Thursday's Inter Varsity large group meeting, the speaker talked about making the most of everyday moments. He said you don't have to have extraordinary moments happen in order to make your life a fulfilling one. By just getting to know the people around you and serving them, you can start a chain reaction that makes the world a little bit better. His words really resonated with me, so I have been trying to reach out and get to know the strangers I sit by in my classes. Friday was such a fun night. It was Kappa Kappa Gamma's Presents dance! All of us new girls dressed up in our white and the active members in black. Beforehand, I got ready with some of my friends in the Vistas, which are the sophomore on-campus apartments. It was fun to have the older girls help us get all dolled up! Cameras flashed as we laughed and bonded before the buses whisked us away to a night full of dancing. Sunday was Super Bowl Sunday! The RAs of Maher set up a fun party in Frank's Lounge, where we ate free Rubio's Mexican food, watched the game on giant screen TVs, and laughed at the commercials. It was a good time even for those of us who are not the biggest of football fans...
Before I sign off for this week, I am going to share with you a little secret. Today, I discovered Career Services and all that it has to offer. I stopped in during its drop-in hours in order to fix up my resume for an RA application I am currently filling out. Not only did I get assistance in making a professional resume, I learned loads of valuable information about applying for internships, what skills are needed to be a part of today's competitive job market, and where to look for internships. USD really helps its students out not only with post-college careers, but internships and summer jobs as well!
