Rush ZTA

This past weekend was recruitment weekend here at ONU. For those of you that aren't familiar with recruitment, this is a weekend full of rounds of girls and sororities where new members meet all the sororities and try to get a bid from their favorite to find their "home" in Greek life. Last year I went through recruitment to find my home as a new member, but this year I got to be on the other side of it. Going into the weekend all I could think about was how overwhelmed I was going to be and all the time recruitment was going to take up. And although it was overwhelming and time consuming, I had one of the best weekends with my sisters.

Spending five or six hours with my sisters three nights in a row really gave me the chance to get to know some of my sisters on a more personal level and I am so grateful for it. I felt so connected to my sisters the whole weekend and it really made me remember why I joined Zeta Tau Alpha (ZTA). I got to spend so much time with my best friends and create some new close friends at the same time. I am so thankful for all of my sisters and everything they bring to ZTA.

Not only did I get closer to my ZTA family, but we got 16 new members and I am so excited about it. I cannot wait for these girls to learn what ZTA is all about on a deeper level and create life-long friendships. I hope they get the same experience out of it that I have. I can't wait to get to know these girls. I am just so excited for this year.

I can honestly say my sisters will be bridesmaids in my wedding and I have never had friendships like I do with these girls. I am very blessed and not deserving of how great this sisterhood is, but I will not take it for granted.

Snapchat

I remember when I first downloaded Snapchat. I remember thinking "I have to look presentable every day now because people will actually see what I look like every day." For everyone that doesn't know, Snapchat is a social media app that started at just a way to communicate by sending pictures back and forth. It has now advanced into a form of social media. You can share stories, which are pictures or videos that everyone you are friends with on snapchat can see, and you can see different magazine type subscription stories. Now that I have had Snapchat for multiple years, I don't know what I would do without it. I snap my friends on a daily basis and it's basically the root of all my laugher. Now you can make snap groups, which means you can have multiple people in a group and you can send pictures to the group like normal group message, and I have so many with my friends. We send anything from drama we want to spill to TikToks in these groups and it is so much f...

Birdin' Around Town

One of my new favorite activities is Birding. I found Bird's in Atlanta, Georgia two years ago and every time I go to any city that has Birds, it is a necessity. You're probably asking what Birds are. Bird is a company that has placed motor scooters around cities to help with transportation and help with the carbon footprint. Bird has created a fun yet helpful way to get around the city. It is super easy to use as well. All you do is download the Bird app, add a credit or debit card, then you're set. When it's time to bird, you pull up the app and scan the bird you are wanting to use. Once you scan it, it will begin your ride and you can ride for as long as you want. The more you use the app, the cheaper your rides become. When you're done, you select end ride and take a picture of your scooter to prove you didn't wreck it. This concept is so smart and a great way to show how technology and social media is growing everyday. Who knew you would be able to driv...

Dream Job Became Reality

When you hear someone is a model what do you picture? A beautiful girl with flawless hair, skin, makeup? Maybe someone that's really tall and slender.  Yeah, I did too, well until I had the chance to model myself. I never in a million years would have imagined that I could have the opportunity to model for anyone at all. I am 5 feet, 5 inches tall, I weigh way more than a typical model and I have more visible muscle than most girls do, but this didn't prevent me from booking my first modeling job in 2016. I was so excited because I had traveled to shows with my mom to buy dresses for her bridal and formal store for a few years already and every time I wanted to model so bad but never thought I would get the chance. Like I said before, I did my first show in March 2016 and I have continued modeling since. I have modeled for two dress designers; Rachel Allan and House of Wu . With a job this like comes traveling, but I can't complain. I have traveled to cities like Chica...
