of course I'm around!! I wouldn't leave you hanging!!
12 party is over and holy moley it was an extremely long, exciting day. since I am a sophomore I had to be up and ready to leave early so that I could make it to the Union by 6:45, it was insane!!! when I finally got my list I was soooo nervous, and when I looked at it was shocked! to see that I had a full day, all 12 houses. I didn't get some of my favorites back like Blueberry, Watermelon and Banana, and I got some of my less liked houses, all in all 7 of my top 12 asked me back, and 5 of my bottom 7 asked me back as well. I was incredibly excited!!!
ooh and looking back on my 19 party posts, I realized that I put two houses as Grape. The one day 1 was GrapeFRUIT and I totally spaced and just wrote Grape, day 2 was just plain Grape : )
sooo to start my day...
I was at Kiwi first. Just like 19 party, this chapter felt amazing!! Really comfortable for me, a GREAT skit and awesome ladies, really like it here!!!
Grape!!! (for real!!) Fell in love with this chapter!! had wonderful conversations here and never felt that I was struggling to make a connection of some sort happen, had an amazing time here, great girls great skit great attitude, really great!! (seriously, how many greats??? ugghh it's been a long day!!)
My next house was GrapeFRUIT. Again I felt sort of forced here, but the skit was cute. In the end I feel better about it, but know it isn't for me.
On to Cherry. Again, apparently being a sophomore is a huge turnoff here. The second girl I talked to, when hearing that I was a sophomore, stopped making eye contact and made faces at girls behind me. Conversation was impossible. This house is NOT for me.
I went to Mango next. During 19 party, really liked it, this time I wasn't so sure, was one of the houses that I was iffy about all day and ended up deciding that I would like to see a little more.
Plum. Glad I got to see more, had a really good experience this time and talked to some great girls, changed how I felt about it during 19 party by really making the positives I saw then stand out, very cute skit!!
Then I got a break, which was soo needed. When I got back....
Strawberry. I really liked this house during 19 party, but really felt they emphasized some things that I'm not really looking for in a chapter, was on the fence and ended up including this chapter in my lower 6 at the end of the night.
Raspberry. Knew this house wasn't for me at 19 party, definitely know that it isn't now. One of the girls that rushed me told me how unhappy she was when she got her bid, since she didn't see any positives in the house, and how her friends had to convince her to join since they were going to. She still doubts if she made the right decision but "guesses she is learning to love it." I don't even know what to do with this!! Definitely not were I want to be.
Apple. Really really surprised I was asked back. Since I was double rushed here I didn't know if I had made enough of an impression, and I was glad to go back. The skit here was awesome and I laughed so hard at how much fun the girls were having. Really enjoyed this house and had some wonderful conversations, ending up being a great surprise!!
Blackberry. Glad to see more, but know that it probably isn't for me. Ended up putting them in the top of my lower 6 since I am still somewhat unsure.
Lime. Again really fun, talked to a girl I knew here, comfortable and a really good experience overall : )
Orange. Last house of the night, felt as though the girl I was talking to wasn't interested, which could be the fact that we'd been at it all day, but really felt as though I was boring her. Another conversation here was good, but still feel pretty sure that this house isn't right for me.
At the end of the night my list looked like this (in full order most favorite to least favorite):
Grape, Kiwi, Apple, Lime, Plum, Mango, Strawberry, Blackberry, Orange, Grapefruit, Raspberry, Cherry
I'm excited for tomorrow and should probably be sleeping!! I'll keep you all updated!! have a great night!!
