I’ve loved living back in New York for the past couple months. It’s so great to be with my family and my dog, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss Boston a whole lot, especially my sisters. Even when I graduated a little early, I was still super involved with my sorority, even having Initiation at my apartment and crashing their Bid Day celebration (love you!).
But since I’ve been far away from my best friends, I’ve realized how much they really have my back from miles and miles away. Even though I’m not physically there with them, I still feel their love and support all the time. They truly are my family.
When my best friend Kennedy and I went to Disney last March, my amazing, perfect Little, Victoria, made us matching letters. Yup, she MADE them! She’s so insanely talented, it blows my mind. These are hands down my favorite letters that I own. Whenever I wear them, I think of how grateful I am for my sisters who love me enough to take me to Disney and make me letters to celebrate.
Kennedy and I wore them on our first full day at Disney, when we met a bunch of other sisters in Epcot! We drank strawberry mango margaritas in Mexico and I flipped out when we saw Figment, who is my favorite dragon in the entire world (sorry, Dragon Tales). I got blue light sickness from Mission Space, which Kennedy made a lot of fun of me for (“My eight-year-old niece went on this and wanted to go again!”), so we ended the night by watching The Bachelor in our hotel room while I stuffed my face with sushi.
It feels pretty cheesy ending this by saying to appreciate and love the people in your life, but it’s Thanksgiving week, so I can be as cheesy as I want! I love my sorority sisters more than anything, and if you’re reading this, I hope you have that kind of love in your life too.
