Belle
Sleeping Beauty
Pocahontas
Jasmine
Alice
Mulan

I was very disappointed to not see Ariel or Nala and a bit disappointed not to see Esmeralda. I wasn't surprised that Cinderella wasn't there (my conversations were THAT awkward), but I was surprised to see Alice since I didn't really feel a connection. But I was excited about Belle and Pocahontas and excited to give Jasmine another try, so I decided to shake off the disappointment and focus on the fact that 6 houses DID want me back whereas many of my friends were only invited back to 3 or 4 of their least favorites.

Pocahontas: Once again I fell in love with this house. Their philanthropy is one of my favorites and very close to my heart. We made a cute little craft and my conversations were just as good as the day before. All of the girls remembered my name when they left to go meet other PNM's, and I felt very at home. I never expected to like this house so much.

Mulan: Once again, this house surprised me by being likeable. Their activity was more interactive and made it easy to talk to the girls. The girls I talked to were for the most part very tall and blonde, definitely the opposite of the negative stereotype, and the conversation was natural. I still wasn't sure if I could see myself as a sister here, but I had a good time.

Alice: I talked to the same exact girls that I talked to yesterday (I was the only one who had this happen), and once again the conversation was just okay. Their craft was cute but their philanthropy wasn't one that I was super excited about.

Belle: This was one of my favorite houses, so I was glad to be asked back, but I can't help but think it was only because of a certain rule. I still tried my very hardest and tried to be as social and engaging as possible, but I know from the other day's cuts that conversation is not everything. I did have good conversations and met a lot of sisters, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed to be asked back.

Jasmine: I was a little surprised to be asked back here, but it was a pleasant surprise. I got picked up by a girl I had talked to the first round, and I also talked to a girl I had met first semester which put me more at ease. My first few conversations were great but the last girl and I had some awkward pauses, and she seemed confused that i was actually doing the craft. I liked this house a lot more though and hope to go back

Sleeping Beauty: I really was not looking forward to this house, but it actually was not bad at all. I enjoyed doing the craft and the girl I talked to was extremely pretty, something I didn't expect at the "ugly" house. She was very social and she and i knew a lot of the same people, so we found stuff to talk about. I still didn't quite feel a connection with the house though.

At the end of the day we had to rank 5 houses on top, and then if we had more, we had to rank them in order of preference so my list ended up
Love:
Belle
Jasmine
Pocahontas
Alice
Mulan
Like:
Sleeping Beauty

I'm so nervous after the first round of cuts to see the next one, but I'm hoping for the best!

Since Nala is gone, I'll join Team Pocahontas!!

Good luck
