The one about lazy nights and why I love my sisters

This is literally the first Saturday night this entire semester that I have sat at home to do responsible big kid stuff. And by that, I mean try to tackle some of the things on my to-do list. It's a daunting task, and one I am obviously procrastinating thanks to my unhealthy obsession with social media. gross. I seriously spend more time on facebook, twitter, linked in and my new blog than I should. I know I should probably care less about what the random girl I said hi to that one time posts on facebook. Why do I need to see everything my friends have posted anyways. I live with 50 girls... my life is crazy enough. I guess you don't make hundred of millions of dollars like Mark Zuckerburg without inventing something as addicting as facebook. Oh, and Mark, if you ever read this, I am totally ok with being Mrs. Facebook... just saying. ;)

So tonight I am sitting around with 6 sisters, waiting for a visit from my favorite freshman, my bf's little sister. We're watching an episode of numbers, all with our laptops open, but with our eyes glued to the tv screen. Uber productivity is in progress.

I have come to cherish nights like these more and more as I am getting older. The relaxing nights hanging out with these girls while watching stupid shows and talking more than we type...  Mattie even made me hot chocolate. yum!

So this brings me to my Diane Challenge post for the day

My sisters and my sorority. I never thought I could actually love this thing this much. Or these girls. I never knew I could actually live with 48 other girls... and share three bathrooms with them. Kind of intense. However, these girls teach me new things everyday. Whether it's trust, or love or not to mix ammonia with bleach... I have grown so much from them. I know that no matter how down I am, my little will listen to me, and her heart is probably aching worse anyways. Stef and Molly will go out to both Panera and Starbucks when they can't figure out what kind of coffee I like. KY will always be my PB, and will come pick me up no matter where I am and what time it is, as long as she can drive my car there! J baby just knows me better than anyone and understand my weird sense of humor. Friends since freshmen year and I still never grow tired of our shenengans. Cori will always talk me into going out, because she is my PIC, but somehow I always end up being the one blamed for our fun! Mattie will make me hot chocolate with marshmellows and bring it to me, when I am far too lazy to get my butt up from the couch.. Mindy will play super turtle with me, although we are probably not even really legit, we think we are.

As many humorous times I share with these ladies, they have taught me real values and real life lessons. They taught me that no matter what struggles we come across or how hard things seem, it's not the end of the world, and we will get through it. They have shown me that as hard of it gets, it can get a lot worse, but it will never really be that bad because we have each other. They taught me what it means to truly look at another girl and realize she's a sister. That sometimes staying up late and laughing with your sisters is more rewarding than a couple extra hours of studying, or that paper due tomorrow.

They have shown me it's more important to appreciate those small things in life, the little moments. Those moments are the ones that make or break you. It's more important for people to remember you by how you made them feel.

Thank you to all of you girls. The ones who give me strength, and who have shown me it's possible to love someone like family even if they are not blood. I am truly thankful for all of you!
