Coming to a Close

These past two weeks have been a whirlwind of excitement, nerves and tears, as my time as a collegiate member of Alpha Phi comes to a close. For those who have been in a sorority or been apart of any special group, I'm sure you know the feeling of going to your last meeting, or watching your big/mentor graduate and start a new part of their life. It's a feeling that I've been anticipating since last summer, before I even came back to school. I can remember people asking me "How excited are you to go back?" or "Can you believe this is your senior year?" and I always told them that though I was ready to be back in my college town, I wasn't ready for everything I know and love to end. 

An end to one huge part of my life & the beginning of something amazing.

I decided that since it was one of my last weekends with these girls, I was going to make the most of it! On Thursday night, I attended our last mixer of the semester. It was toga themed and held at bar in town.

On Friday, I spent the night helping my little and g-little make sashes for our Alpha Phi formal awards! Then we got so tired, Kaitlyn & I ended up having a sleepover in Katy's room:)

On Saturday, Alpha Phi held its annual Mom's Day Luncheon, so my parents came into town to spend the day with me. Mama and I had a great time painting picture frames, having lunch and meeting the other A-Phi moms! Then after a nap, the three of us had some great Mexican food for dinner.

On Saturday night, I attended the final concert for Ear Candy, an all-girls a capella group on campus. My roommate from freshman year is a member and is getting ready to graduate as well. Since this was her last time singing with them, I wanted to make sure I was there! She did amazing job and we had a great time going out to eat after.

On Sunday, I attended my last chapter meeting of Alpha Phi. We had a special ceremony to celebrate the seniors and I was able to read a funny poem that I wrote to everyone.

After the ceremony, the Princess Family had dinner together at the same place that we ate the first time we ever had a family dinner.

I will miss each and every one of them so so much!
