KSUViolet, yeah hopefully I'll get to see the other side of recruitment
Alright so I just got back from the parties (haven't ranked yet though but I know how I will). Here's how it went:
Jordan Baker: I've been hearing negative things about this house, but it's totally undeserved because these girls are so sweet and cute. I didn't get the connection here like I did with the others, but I wouldn't mind going back.
Myrtle Wilson: In complete honesty, these girls were super nice, but I can't see myself fitting in here. One conversation I had was really forced and unnatural, and pretty much didn't stray from the basic question. Another I totally clicked with..and then I found out she doesn't even go to this school. So I felt really misled but we'll see..
George Wilson: I loved this house and the girls I talked to. I felt like we really had a connection and it's one of my favorites now, but it's also a top house! So once again, trying not to get my hopes up.
Owl Eyes: This house have a really laid back and down to earth vibe, which i loveeed. They were also super diverse, I could tell, which reminds me of the kind of people I usually hang out with. One girl I talked to was literally reading my mind at some points, so I really like this house. This is also the one my cousin was in at this school, so she's pulling for it
Kilspringer: The girls I met here were super sweet, and one was seriously the funniest girl I met on the row. They were all adorable, in a wholesome, sweet way (sorry hope that makes sense).
So here's how I'm ranking them:
1. Daisy
1. Gatsby
1. Tom
1. George
1. Nick
1. Owl Eyes
2. Kilspringer
3. Jordan Baker
4. Myrtle Wilson
I struggled between putting Owl Eyes or Kilspringer in my top 6, but I figure that I won't get ALL of my top 6, so I'll end up seeing them anyway
I had a thought today: I think the top houses are so sought after because they are so charismatic and good at holding a conversation when you first meet. I definitely went in open minded, and the top houses were my favorite, their status playing no role in how I feel. That said, the other houses were amazing and I'm sure they will shine in the next couple of days when I get to know them better!
I'm so excited, I get my schedule tomorrow morning! I'll post then
