Here it is, the rest of my 16 party day! Hope you enjoy it and I will be back tomorrow with results and more stories!
Alex- I didn’t really know what to expect from this house, but it turns out that I really liked it! All the girls seemed so down to earth and really sweet. I had pretty good conversations with the girls and I felt comfortable with them. We had a funny conversation about creeping on our new roommates via Facebook and how if we didn’t have FB we would be lost. The only thing I really didn’t like was that unlike all the other house they had two PNMs for every one active. I felt like I couldn’t really get to know the girls because I felt like I needed to let the other girl talk and I didn’t want to dominate the conversation. I wanted it to be fair for the both of us. I left the house feeling like I needed to give it a second chance.
George- I remember having amazing conversations with all 3 girls that I talked to. They were all so easy to talk to and had great senses of humor. One member of George actually came up to me and said that she knew my older sister and then a light bulb went off in my head and I remembered this girl too! She ended up being the next girl that I talked to and we chatted on and on! All the girls in the house were beautiful and their personalities were perfect. They weren’t too over the top but you could tell that they really love each other! I really, really liked this house!
Lexie- Well, I will just come right out and say that Lexie was defiantly not one of my favorite houses. The conversations I had at this house were very forced and boring. I felt like at the other houses, the small talk was more interesting and expanded into normal conversations and stories, but at this house it was all about the plain small talk. I felt somewhat comfortable and I smiled and was polite. One thing that really bothered me was whenever I answered a question; the girl would ALWAYS respond with, “that’s cool.” She would then wait for me to ask the next question. I know that these girls are just as nervous I am, but it just felt like a let down after having such a good day at all the other houses. The girls were nice but I just couldn’t see myself there.
Izzie- Overall I really like Izzie! The girls were super sweet and they were all dressed so cute! The conversations were so-so only because one of the girls was a little awkward to talk to. She seemed like she was really nervous, but we got through the conversation. I feel like if I got to know the girls a little bit more, I could really start to see myself at this house. I love the connections that the girls had with each other and seemed so comfortable together. Like I said before, I really liked this house!
Jack- Hmm, what to say about Jack. To tell the truth, out of all 16 of the houses, Jack is the only house that I don’t recall very well. It is obvious that it didn’t stick out for a reason. By going back through my notes I am having some “aha” moments and it’s coming back to me a little bit. There just was something about this house that didn’t jump out to me and say that it was the right place for me. The conversation was just average and nothing special. The house was gorgeous and the girls were all very kind but I just don’t think that I could have seen myself there.
Christina- Whew, last house of the night. We all did a little cheer when we got to this house! I wanted to make sure that I was still pleasant and peppy when I walked through those doors even though I was hungry, exhausted and had blisters growing on my feet. The girls on the other side are just as tired as I am! I put on a happy face and popped right through the door. I talked to 3 girls while I was at Christina and had some of the best conversations of the day. By this point, I am a professional at the whole small talk thing and I feel so comfortable talking to these girls. We talked about my major and what I was going to do after college, which is go to nursing school. The last girl I talked to was a riot. I was so happy that she was the last girl I talked to on the end of day one. She asked me the most random questions like, “if you could live on any planet, which one would you choose?” and “what is your favorite flavor of gum?” The funny thing is, I didn’t find the questions weird at all. They were super refreshing and I had so much fun. When it was time to go, I was sort of bummed. I wanted to stay and talk to this girl! Absolutely loved this house and it was the perfect way to end my day on a good note!
