Senior week!

This past week was "Senior Week" for my sorority, a weeklong celebration of our last 4 years at college and a time to honor the seniors. It was such a blast and a great way to hang out with all my sorority sisters before we all go our separate ways. I just cant believe how quickly these 4 years went by. It seems like just yesterday I came to college, then I was a new member in the house, then before I knew it I was decorating the bucket of goodies for my big sis, and now its my turn! Wow time flies...

So the week started out with the "Senior send off" on Sunday where we read wills to the rest of the house, which I was unfortunately unable to attend. But basically my will would have included: late night study sessions in the study room eating cereal, Franz's (our chef) amazing lasagna, midnight runs to Chanos, and other such crazy things- all to my amazing little sis in the house.

defaultThen Tuesday night the younger girls in the house dressed up in ridiculous outfits including feather boas, whistles, and tiaras, and we all went together to the 9-0 (the local bar). That was a ton of fun being able to hang out with all my senior sorority sisters. Wednesday night we went to C&O Trattoria, an ammmmmazing Italian food restaurant in Marina Del Rey. And then Thursday we were again dressed up in ridiculous shirts and went to Sharkeez, a fun bar/ restaurant in Manhattan Beach.  It was such an amazing week and I'm going to be so sad to leave all these girls in 4 weeks. But I will never forget all the amazing memories we shared.

Viva Las Vegas!!

No I did not go to Vegas this weekend, however, Viva Las Vegas was my sorority invite theme. We had our first invite this weekend and it was a blast. I loved the theme because it was so creative and gave us lots of opportunities for fun costume ideas. People were dressed up as everything from beach attire (Mandalay Bay), togas (Ceasar's Palace), Eygptian (the Excalibar), and the list goes on and on. My date and I decided to wear cowboy outfits and go as Texas Hold-Em, I thought it was quite clever (I have to give all the credits to my lil sis though).  My boyfriend came to visit from Cal Poly so he was able to go with me :-) (See long distance relationships are totally doable).  Some of my friends came over to my apartment before the invite and I made everyone tacos.  The venue is always a surprise so that people dont crash our invite so we got bused to this bar/ restaurant.  The night was so much fun and a great escape from my long long week of assignments and midterms.  So to sum up the night I only have 3 words- Viva Las Vegas!!

BID NIGHT!

Bid night was Sunday night and it was AMAZING. What is bid night you might be asking? Well let me tell you... bid night is the night after formal recruitment (rush) is over and all the new girls find out where they received a bid. Its so defaultexciting to be done with rush and know that we have 65 awesome new members that I can call my sisters. We've all worked so hard over the past few weeks and it all came down to this night and we had so much fun. We had awesome food, a bounce house (I felt like I was 5 years old again and it was great), and most importantly - just tons of fun hanging out with my friends. It was so much fun and I cant wait to get to know all of our new members better :-)
